Viti Levu Highlands

The highlands of Viti Levu are Fiji's best-kept secret. Beyond the coastal resorts rises a world of dense rainforests, river gorges, remote villages, and the country's highest mountain. Few tourists venture here — and that's precisely what makes it so appealing.

Nausori Highlands

The Nausori Highlands east of Nadi are a green, mountainous landscape at 800–1,000 meters elevation. The road from Nadi to the highlands is one of Fiji's most scenic routes — past sugarcane fields, through villages, and up into the clouds. Indigenous communities live in the highlands, still practicing traditional agriculture.

Mount Tomanivi (Mount Victoria)

Fiji's highest mountain (1,324 m) stands in the center of Viti Levu. The ascent is a challenging day tour (5–7 hours round trip) through dense rainforest. A local guide is mandatory — not only for orientation but also because the mountain is sacred to the nearby villages (Sevusevu ceremony with kava as a gift). From the top: a breathtaking view over the island and the Pacific.

Navala — Fiji's Last Traditional Village

Navala in the Ba Highlands is the only village in Fiji where all houses are still built in the traditional Bure style of wood and straw — over 200 Bures on green hills along the Ba River. Visiting requires prior arrangement and the traditional Sevusevu ceremony (kava as a guest gift). An unforgettable insight into pre-industrial Fiji.
