Vanua Levu
Surprisingly, Fiji's second largest island is seldom visited by travellers. However Vanua Levu has a lot to offer, particularly if you want to discover the 'real' Fiji, away from the tourist resorts of Viti Levu and the Mamanuca and Yasawa island groups.
Vanua Levu is largely a cane growing area with around 20% of Fiji's population. The island has quite good transport services which make it a fairly easy island to visit.
The main towns on Vanua Levu are Labasa on the north coast and Savusavu in the south. Although Labasa is the larger of the two, Savusavu is more popular with travellers as it is a popular transit point for ferries and flights to other islands.
