# Getting from Nannu-i-ra to Ovalau Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji
javadog 19:59 UTC 05 Apr 2008 | Hi I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a bus-ferry-bus service to get to Ovalau from the Kings road in the north. We have done it from Suva no problem but would like to go the other way around this time. Or can we get off the bus at Korovou and get the bus from there? The bus we were on was packed all the way from Suva and no way could have fit more on. |

If you are flexibel with your travelling ask when the "Harmony" ( the new ferry) is scheduled to sail directly to Levuka harbour. Then you won't have the long bus ride from Buresala to Levuka. | 2
