The beating heart of Fiji, Viti Levu is the main island where tourism is taking heavy hold. Coral reefs fringe its coasts, mangroves shelter nurseries, and lagoons provide sanctuary for turtles and reef sharks. Inland, sugarcane fields and mountainous interiors sustain local communities. For most travelers, this is their first taste of the South Pacific islands, and the mix of heavy tourism and natural richness makes it a world of contrasts.

Known as Fiji’s adventure capital, Pacific Harbour is defined by its shark encounters. Dozens of bull sharks gather here in one of the world’s most famous dives, alongside tiger sharks, reef sharks, and big schools of fish. It’s also a hub for marine research and conservation, making it as much about protecting the ocean as it is about experiencing its raw power.
Beqa Lagoon is a show of sharks—a wide ring of reefs where tiger sharks and bull sharks circle in piercing blue water. Divers descend here for encounters few other places can deliver, often surrounded by dozens of apex predators. Beyond the lagoon, the island itself holds waterfalls and forest trails that offer a slower pace.
