More about Lautoka, Fiji Points of Interest

This private property with beautifully landscaped gardens is owned by the Burness family, who immigrated to the island from Scotland. The estate boasts a fascinating collection of photographs, antique furnishings and curios that date back to colonial times. The expansive grounds showcase one of the island's largest orchid collections as well as lovely vistas.

The chiefs of Sabeto were once mighty warriors and owned much of the land in Viti Levu. Today, this spirited, cultural village has retained many of its old customs, which the villagers delight in sharing with visitors. Guests are escorted into the village hall for a welcome kava ceremony. Kava is a non-alcoholic beverage made from the root of a pepper tree. It is considered the national drink of Fiji. The kava will be offered to you in a "bilo," a small bowl made from a hollowed-out coconut shell. At the completion of this special ceremony, the locals will perform a number of traditional songs and dances for your enjoyment. A guided tour of the grounds includes a visit to the chief's bure (house), the small church and the cheerful primary school. Please note that clothing must cover knees, upper arms and shoulders and no hats may be worn in a Fijian village.

Nadi (pronounced Nandi) is Fiji's third-largest city. Its bustling marketplace is a haven for shoppers, featuring authentic yaqona stalls, homemade crafts and local art. "Bula" is the traditional "hello," and with a friendly smile, the artisans and shopkeepers will welcome you to peruse their wares as you look for that perfect souvenir. It's a wonderful opportunity to interact with the Fijians and support their community and to take home pottery, woodcarvings, and brightly colored tapa cloth.

Viseisei Village, situated just north of Nadi, is believed to be Fiji's oldest settlement, dating back 3,500 years. The village has approximately 400 inhabitants and three family tribes, the Navicavaki, Sawaieke and Nakelo, who make up the village population. Tours of this authentic environment immerse guests in daily life and include participation in a traditional kava ceremony, which welcomes guests. Kava is a non-alcoholic beverage made from the root of a pepper tree. It is considered the national drink of Fiji. The kava will be offered to you in a "bilo," a small bowl made from a hollowed-out coconut shell. At the completion of this special ceremony, the locals will perform a number of traditional songs and dances for your enjoyment. Exploration of the expansive area includes the village green where the children play games, local dwellings, the Methodist church, and gravestones of important village chiefs. Please note that clothing must cover knees, upper arms and shoulders and hats are not permitted in the Fijian village.

Nestled at the base of the Sleeping Giant Mountain, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, the Garden of the Sleeping Giant was created in 1977 by the late Raymond Burr, famous American actor and star of "Perry Mason" and "Ironside." A horticultural enthusiast, he created the garden to house his personal orchid collection, which has now grown to be the largest collection in Fiji, showcasing a vast collection of more than 2,000 varieties. The expansive grounds offer a canopy-covered boardwalk, manicured lawns and tranquil lily ponds fed by cascading fountains and populated by croaking frogs. The gardens themselves are truly breathtaking, but the fragrant orchid and other blooming flowers are the showstoppers, perfuming the air and enticing butterflies and hummingbirds to their petals.

This complex boasts a diverse range of offerings, including Life Cinema , a variety of restaurants, a supermarket, the Tappoo mega complex, and several smaller local establishments commonly found throughout the Fijian landscape.

On the opposite side of Vitogo Parade, facing TappooCity and adjacent to Churchill Park, a multitude of shops lines the bustling street. Naviti Street runs parallel behind, featuring an assortment of establishments, from small Chinese outlets and Indian restaurants to clothing stores and everything in between. Navigating this area can be a bit overwhelming at times, with the iconic Jacks of Fiji and Prouds stores serving as useful reference points for orienting oneself in this vibrant shopping district.

Lautoka boasts three distinct beaches, each offering unique qualities:

Belo Vula Resort Beach

Nestled on Bekana Island, just off the shores of Lautoka City, Belo Vula Island Resort is a quaint family-owned retreat. The resort boasts a slender, unspoiled sandy beach, embraced by 30 acres of thriving mangroves and tropical gardens. For a day excursion to this idyllic island getaway, visitors can embark on a charming small boat journey, with the cost typically around 15 FJD, departing from a jetty at Lautoka’s coastal wharf.

Saweni Beach

A beloved seaside gem for those in the Lautoka area, is renowned for its stunning white sandy shores that set it apart from other beaches in the western cane belt. Saweni’s beach offers an ideal setting for swimming and relaxation. Even at the peak of a hot western day, the crystal-clear water remains inviting, attracting locals and visitors alike.

Getting to Saweni Beach

For those eager to explore Saweni Beach, getting there is a straightforward journey. Situated approximately nine kilometres from Lautoka towards Nadi, a signboard for the Saweni Beach Apartment Hotel and the Fiji Orchid Specialty lodgings guides the way off the highway.

The beach is accessible by vehicle, and with affordable taxi options from Lautoka, the beach can also be reached by bus. Buses serving Saweni Rd. offer a budget-friendly travel option, or travellers can catch a Lautoka to Nadi bus and flag down a taxi at the junction for the final stretch.

Visitor Advisory 1: Saweni Beach is a casual, non-resort destination. It’s important to note that this is not an Instagram-worthy, meticulously maintained beach. Expect the natural presence of plastic bottles and utensils left by the tides. The charm of Saweni Beach lies in its unfiltered, authentic atmosphere, offering a genuine experience of a typical coastal setting. Enjoy the raw beauty and be mindful of the environment during your visit.

Vuda Point Resort Beaches

While the beaches at Vuda Point may not meet the pristine standards of world-class resorts on outer islands like the Mamanuca and Yasawa islands, the resorts that line the coastline offer guests a perfect spot to relax during the day or wind down in the evening with a delightful cocktail. It’s an ideal place for activities such as swimming during high tide, sunbathing, and kayaking

Thumbnails: Vuda Point Beaches

The Krishna Kaliya Temple in Lautoka, Fiji, stands as a distinctive and spiritually enriching destination, offering visitors a unique insight into the Hare Krishna community and its practices. Affiliated with the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) , the temple extends a warm welcome to guests at any time. Whether experienced in the early afternoon during the ongoing puja (worship) or at twilight when the setting sun casts a shimmering glow on the stones, the temple serves as a testament to the profound influence of Indian culture and religion in Fiji. Lautoka takes pride in having the highest per capita population of Hare Krishnas globally, making the Krishna Kaliya Temple a significant place of worship for this community.

A particularly intriguing opportunity to explore the temple arises during the noon puja on Sundays. Attendees can anticipate a vibrant and immersive experience, complete with distinct gender-specific seating arrangements. The atmosphere resonates with rhythmic drumming, resonant bell ringing, melodious conch blowing, and heartfelt chanting—a unique approach through which Krishnas connect with the divine and attain transcendental bliss. This captivating setting provides a deeper understanding of the Hare Krishna community’s devotion and enriches the spiritual journey of those seeking a profound connection with this unique aspect of Fijian culture.

The heart of Lautoka’s City Centre beats with vitality as the lively Lautoka Food Market spills out from its main buildings onto public thoroughfares. Local vendors lay out their vibrant array of fruits and vegetables on wooden stalls and sheets, with small plastic plates underneath for easy selection. Opting for stalls with pre-labelled prices, typically inscribed on cardboard with a marker pen, is a savvy tip for visitors navigating the bustling market.

The kaleidoscope of colours captivates the eyes, creating a visually stunning experience. Its energetic atmosphere, characterised by friendly vendors and a dynamic hustle and bustle, makes it a standout adventure in the capital. The market not only offers a rich variety of fruits and vegetables but also introduces visitors to unfamiliar spices, kava roots, and other intriguing products, creating an unforgettable assault on the senses.

Visit Viseisei Village and Vuda Point

Viseisei Vilage is located at Vuda Point on the side of Lautoka, the village steeped in tradition and history. According to local lore, it holds the distinction of being the oldest settlement in Fiji, founded by Lutunasobasoba when the initial Melanesian canoes landed at Vuda Point. Positioned near the main road connecting Nadi and Lautoka, Viseisei is recognized as one of the oldest settlements in Fiji, dating back to the 16th century when Melanesian explorers first arrived. The village boasts well-preserved Fijian traditional houses known as bures, among them a ceremonial bure utilized for significant events, including visits by dignitaries like Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles . Additionally, Viseisei showcases the intricate art of weaving Fijian traditional mats from pandanus leaves, a meticulous process carried out by women, and these mats are traditionally given as wedding presents.

Visiting the Viseisei Village Museum offers a comprehensive understanding of the village’s history. The museum is a repository of artifacts, photographs, and various items that narrate the rich story of Viseisei. Furthermore, taking a guided tour of the village provides an immersive experience into its culture and history. Visitors explore traditional homes, gain insights into ancient customs, and partake in the Fijian way of life, creating a meaningful connection with the village’s heritage. Overall, Viseisei stands as a living testament to Fiji’s cultural legacy, inviting visitors to appreciate its ancient roots, traditional practices, and the enduring craftsmanship of its residents.

Lautoka Parks & Gardens: Botanical Gardens

The Lautoka Botanical Gardens feature an impressive array of tropical plants, meticulously labeled with both botanical and common names, thanks to the skilled on-site horticulturist. Situated on Thomson Crescent Road, accessible from Drasa Avenue, the gardens are conveniently located just down from the Lautoka Hospital. The park, spanning 15 acres, is thoughtfully landscaped on a gentle slope, creating a harmonious blend of greenery and tranquility.

Visitors to the garden are treated to a natural beauty exhibition showcasing the diverse flora in an aesthetically pleasing manner. With free entry, the Lautoka Botanical Gardens provide an ideal destination for those seeking a serene environment to unwind and appreciate the rich botanical diversity on display.

Continuous upkeep and maintenance of the botanical garden, including a turf nursery, fish pond, and potted plant nursery, are diligently carried out. Approximately 10,000 potted plants from the nursery were used in the beautification works within the city.  Admission to the Botanical Gardens is at no cost.

For bird enthusiasts, the park is recognized as a premier location to observe a diverse array of avian species in Lautoka. Be sure to explore the list of bird sightings at the Gardens and Lautoka Waterfront in the following article

Visitor Advisory 2:  Recently, (April 2024), we visited the Botanical Gardens after about a year and noticed a new restaurant on the premises set to soon open to the public. While the park was undergoing some minor renovations, such as restoring the bridges over the ponds with a fresh coat of paint, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend making a special trip solely for this reason. However, if you happen to be in the city, it’s worth taking a stroll around and perhaps grabbing a quick lunch.

A leisurely walk around the park takes less than half an hour. For a more enriching experience, I suggest opting for a guided tour led by someone knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna , rather than merely serving as transportation to and from the site.

Lautoka Parks & Gardens: Koroyanitu National Heritage Park

Established in 1989 through collaboration among the New Zealand Official Development Assistance Programme (NZODA), the Japan National Official Committee of the Pacific Economic Co-operation (JANPEC), and six local villages, the Koroyanitu National Park, also known as Abaca National Heritage Park, holds a unique position in the early stages of ecotourism development. Encompassing 17,000 hectares between Nadi and Lautoka, the park is managed by the resident communities, serving as custodians for future generations. By engaging in self-promoted ecotourism initiatives, these villages have created a sustainable income source, drawing visitors ranging from locals and school field trips to tourists from Denarau Island and cruise liners docking in Lautoka.

Situated amidst Fiji’s western division, the Koroyanitu National Heritage Park has evolved into a central attraction for enthusiasts of nature and hiking. Boasting diverse ecosystems inhabited by the Shy Ground Dove and the Masked Shining Parrot, the park offers an array of guided trails suitable for both novice and experienced hikers. Renowned for its challenging ancient trails leading to inviting waterholes, traditional villages, and the majestic Mt. Batilamu, also known as the Sleeping Giant, the park appeals to hikers, nature lovers, and adventure seekers alike.

Getting to Korovanitu National Park

To reach Koroyanitu National Park, visitors must secure a 4WD taxi or arrange for 4WD car hire, as public transportation is unavailable.  The focal point is Abaca village, overseeing hiking trails and featuring the visitors center.  The journey from Nadi takes slightly over an hour, and about 35 minutes from Lautoka City, the journey involving a dirt/gravel track and a creek crossing, necessitating a 4WD vehicle. Taxi quotes from Nadi were approximately 180FJD one way or 200FJD for a round trip, but opting for car hire provides more flexibility. 

Admission Costs

National park admission costs 25FJD, and an additional charge of 35FJD per person applies for staying overnight in the hikers hut, although these prices may vary. 

The hut, positioned atop Mount Batilamu, lacks electricity but is equipped with mattresses, bedding, and basic cooking facilities.  Rainwater tanks provide water, and a nearby drop toilet serves sanitation needs.  While booking the hut may pose challenges, there is usually ample space available.    The hike to Mount Batilamu, spanning approximately 6.9km with an elevation of 800m, proves challenging yet rewarding.  Directions from the visitors center may be vague, prompting the use of the AllTrails app or provided instructions to navigate the trail through grassland and jungle/rainforest.  Adequate water, sunscreen, and a hat are essential for this demanding hike.

We recommend contacting Talanoa Treks for a guided tour, they are the leading professionals in the country, you can contact them here

The boat ride was fun and the scenery beautiful. Our boat captain food a fabulous job of describing what life is like in the village and how the social structure works there. Very interesting. The women prepared a delicious, ample meal, family style. Our village guide was very welcoming. Great experience! Much different from just going to the beaches.

• blikefood 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Unique beautiful experience! Our tour was with Prashant and Vishal - they were amazing! Extremely friendly, knowledgable, and accommodating! We started with the Temple which was beautiful and very colorful. We got snacks from the restaurant at the Temple for later and it was incredibly delicious! Next we went to Sigatoka market and had some delicious coconut! It was great to see the daily lifestyle of native people. The market had a variety of fruits and vegetables and the town folk with extremely nice. This was followed by Lawai pottery village which is a town prepared for tourists. This means that they have a donations bowl and dances for tourists followed by a local product sale. A bit awkward as it feels like a prepared daily presentation, but interesting to see the culture of the villagers and the pottery was nice. This was followed by a trip to the Naqalimare village where they hired Mati and her husband to take us to the caves. She was very nice and shared her experiences in her village with us. We took the school boat across the river, walked through rainforest like terrain (we wore bug spray which I assumed helped) and were greeted by the entrance to the caves. Be prepared to get wet! We wore our water hiking shoes and loose pants/shorts that could be easily pulled up which was perfect. Prashand/Vishal provided us with flashlights which we used in the caves. Areas require you to squeeze through narrow spaces while in 2 feet of water. I am 5ft so it was to my upper thighs and my husband who is 6ft it reached at his knees however he had to bend down significantly to fit under the cave formations while in the water. It was an incredible and unique experience. This was followed by lunch at a local restaurant with delicious curry. Overall a wonderful experience with great genuine people!

We went to places seldom seen by most tourists. The pottery handicraft village was off the beaten path and gave a a true taste of the Fiji culture. Having a friendly local driver was very useful in learning about the country. We loved the villager who took us to the waterfall and we saw many beautiful plants on our walk. The waterfall pool was well worth a swim. We highly recommend this tour and Vishkal. Read more Written September 16, 2022

We were met by Vashna and Vishal who spent the entire day as our tour guides and ended up becoming great friends. We saw a beautiful Hindu temple, ate fresh fruit from a roadside stand, found the best views on the island, toured a small village, danced with village children, had a kava ceremony, watched pottery being made, took a trek from another village, took a Billibilli ride across a river, ate jungle fruits, learned cannibal history, climbed through a small tunnel into a massive cavern, ate lunch with a village chief and his family, toured a beautiful local farm and were warmly received by a local farming family for tea. We were immersed in real Fijian culture and learned about history, crops, local customs and felt the true spirit of Fiji. This tour is a MUST DO when you visit Fiji. Great value and wonderful people. Vinaka vaka levu to Vishal and Vashna for making this trip so special! Read more Written January 15, 2020
• Furball76 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Wonderful Day! We had only a single day to take in as much of Fiji as we could, and this was the ideal way to spend it! Our driver picked us up on time and was very friendly and helpful throughout the day. Our guide was fun and pleasant as well as being knowledgable and accommodating to whatever requests we had. The sites were a good variety of natural beauty and man-made structures, so we felt that we got a great overview of many aspects of the main island of Fiji as well as the culture of its people, whom we found to be genuinely warm and friendly in every encounter. Overall, as an avid world traveller for more than 40 years, I can sincerely say that this was one of my favorites! Read more Written January 1, 2020

Girmit celebrations to begin this week Share

May 7, 2024 6:17 am

Girmit celebrations float parade last year [File Photo]

This year will mark the 145th year since the arrival of the ‘Girmityas’ in Fiji, and celebrations will be underway in Suva, Labasa, and Lautoka.

Organizers, led by Assistant Minister for Women, Children, and Social Protection Shashi Kiran, highlight Lautoka’s significance, rooted in its historical ties to the sugar industry. ¤

This year’s event emphasizes reflection on the hardships endured by the indentured labourers, with the Minister stressing the importance of honouring their contributions to Fiji’s independence and nation-building.

“And while it was a very sad event—the entire girmit, the pain, and the slavery that they went through—the descendants have made it good wherever they have settled. Many had settled here. Some people are diaspora and have travelled to other parts of the world.”

Kiran also states that sports competitions will also feature in the festivities, which will be organized by the Sanatan Dharam of Fiji, which will bring religious bodies such as the TISI Sangam, the Fiji Muslim League, the Gujarati community, and the Sikh community together.

A fourth-generation descendant of an indentured labourer, Sarojini Asha, calls for more public awareness of the Girmityas’ history.

The Girmit Day commemoration will give people the opportunity to pause and reflect on the struggles that Girimitaya’s faced and the work that they did, not only towards independence but also nation-building.
