Fiji | Write a review | December 16, 2011


Visit Fiji and enjoy the lovely attractions here. The Vanua Levu is one such place that provides you with maximum travel pleasures. This is the second largest island in the archipelago of Fiji and is half of the other island the Viti Levu. Spanning over an area of around 5338 square kilometres, the Vanua Levu is around 180 kilometres long and 33 kilometres broad. With the rugged terrain and a totally mesmerizing ambience, the entire coral reefs that make up the place gives it a heavenly look. This was earlier a great centre for the cultivation of sugar and also for the copra trade. The sugar cane industry is the largest industry here and the sugar cane fields thus form a great charm for the eye.

Vanua Levu is around 64km from the Viti Levu, and is a little less developed and not very frequented by the tourists. However, this place has the best views and the ideal conditions for showcasing the culture and traditions that are observed here. The tourism industry has not swept over this land so the customs still continue in the Vanua Levu. Savusavu and Labasa are the main areas here and they are actually small towns yet are quite frequented by those who come here to get a little bit of travel experience. The area of Labasa is dominated by Indians and has a business centre for sugar. In comparison, the city of Savusavu is a much lesser developed place and is today a great destination for diving and yachting. The bay here is stupendous and there is a yacht club here which contributes to interaction among those interested in the sport. Savusavu is the nearest airport and Viti Levu gives a ferry boat service to Vanua Levu.

The town of Savusavu has a stretch overlooking the bay. The rustic stores and the basic economical condition of the city is not something to boast about. Yet there is a kind of effort that is put here to improve the place and so today the place is filled with a kind of scenic beauty and an energy that is unmistakable. The palm trees that beautify the place and the fact that Savusavu is the main entry point to Vanua Levu makes it a great place to be in.

In the past few years real estate has increased here and people are coming here looking out for places to stay and for lands to invest in. The demand for copra or raw coconut meat is more so the land is increasing in the economical front.

Tourism has been the mainstay of the place and Savusavu has been a main activity zone in Vanua Levu as it is seeing a lot of development.

This Fiji travel is surely going to be a memorable experience for you, what with its perfect blend of landscape, terrain and lifestyle.

So while on a Fiji travel at Vanua Levu, do visit Savusavu and enjoy the beautiful beauty of the place. The Bay of Savusavu is something to take home about and the hot springs only add on the travel luxury. These hot springs are found in the city in plenty. Steam coming out of the cracks in the grassy patches and the sidewalks, and even from the seashore come out adding to the beauty. This steam is a result of the thermal activity within.
