# Stuff to do on Viti Levu Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji
musicluver1869 00:10 UTC 18 May 2007 | I am going to be in Fiji towards the end of July and I am going to be REALLY budgetting it. That being said I have read some travel books about Fiji and the main island of Fiji sounds interesting. I want to travel the entire island (coast and inland if possible). The problem I have run into is that I can only find information about the southern part of the island mainly between Nadi and Suva. What I was wondering is if anyone could either recommend things to see/do on the main island or tell me if there are any websites that I can find this information from? |

It's much better than LP for off the beaten track places! And I think you've made a good decision for interesting budget travel in Fiji. Viti Levu has a lot more to offer than most tourists realize. | 1

anonymous 03:40 UTC 05 Jul 2007 | I strongly recommend visiting Navala village. We stayed at Bulou's Lodge for a few very special days. Visit the village with Tui and get to know his wonderful family. You will not be sorry. This is Fiji at its finest! To get there, take the bus from Ba to Navala or else drive. If you call in advance, Tui will pick you up at the bus dropoff. If you want to just drop in, walk up the road 1km past where the bus drops you off and you will see the signs. Other winners: Caqalai, Levuka, Ba town. Things I wish we had done: Bobo's Farm on Ovalau, more inland exploring. Good luck! | 4
