Vanua Levu, Fiji

Vanua Levu is the second largest island of Fiji, located 64 kilometres to the north of the larger Vitu Levu. The island's main population centres are the towns of Labasa, in the north, and Savusavu, located at the foot of the peninsula. Labasa, largely an Indian community, is a thriving business center tied to the sugar industry. Savusavu, a smaller less developed town, is gaining popularity as a dive destination and yachting community.

Vanua Levu island is rugged and the coast is surrounded by an extensive system of coral reefs. It offers the guest an ideal opportunity to observe local traditions and culture, relatively untarnished by tourism.
