Things to do in Viti Levu, Fiji: sights, tours, and day trips
Most Fiji trips land at Nadi and head straight for a boat — but Viti Levu itself rewards a few days. The island packs sand dunes, hot springs, hill forts, Fiji's biggest Hindu temple, and a working capital city into a coastline you can drive in a day. Everything below is on the main island, reachable by rental car or day tour from Nadi or the Coral Coast.
Where to stay in Fiji: Nadi, the Coral Coast, Suva and beyond
Fiji's main island, Viti Levu, is where most visitors sleep, and where you stay depends on what you came for: Nadi and Denarau for the airport and the island ferries, the Coral Coast between Sigatoka and Pacific Harbour for beach resorts, Suva for the capital and its markets. Kalena lists Viti Levu properties with guest ratings from verified sources.
