OVERVIEW
Vanua Levu is Fiji’s second largest island, with forested interior mountains, farms and settlements distributed around a long coast, while agriculture and fishing remain central. The relationship between rainforest mountains, quiet coastal roads and village bays across a large island with limited tourism and strong local traditions and island gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.
Driving, diving and village visits provide the main experiences, while infrastructure is modest outside the principal towns. The island feels more local than major resort centres. Spending time with both rainforest mountains and quiet coastal roads and village bays across a large island with limited tourism and strong local traditions reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
