Viti Levu

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.
