| ritopaxi22:26 UTC01 Jan 2020 | hello there
i’m thinking of doing something like this:
1 night in nadi the day i arrive
next day boat to the yasawas, 6 nights there
back to the main island, go to navala for 2 nights
then ovalau (still not sure where to take the boat) for 2 nights
then suva for 2 nights
and back to nadi for one last night
9am flight out the next day
::: what do you think? do you recommend any changes? your suggestions are much much appreciated!

| peter_n_margaret04:43 UTC02 Jan 2020 | Apart from the museum, Suva does not offer much, .... for us...
Cheers,
Peter

| peter_n_margaret03:16 UTC03 Jan 2020 | We once took a 3 day trip around Viti Levu by local bus. Great way to get an appreciation of the different terrains involved and to meet a few locals.
Cheers,

| bandicoot700:33 UTC04 Jan 2020 | I agree with Peter and suggest taking a bus around Viti Levu.

Here are some suggestions:
- Stay 1 day less at Yasawas so you can see more of normal Fiji
- 2 days Navala village
- bus trip north, stop and look at towns of Ba or Rakiraki and stay overnight at VoliVoli.
- Then bus down the east coast. Takalana Bay is a good place to stay and take a trip to moon reef

- Continue down the coast and get a boat over to Ovalau (there is a ferry from Navoti jetty, but don't know if it's the only one. Head to Suva one night (visit museum) and Grand or Holiday Inn Hotels.
- Bus to Sigatoka and stay one night. Bus back to Nadi

| Laszlo01:29 UTC04 Jan 2020 | I actually enjoy Suva, both the city itself and the nearby Colo i Suva Forest Reserve.
On the round Viti Levu trip, I found the Sigatoka area the most interesting: the Sand Dunes NP, the Tongan fort ruins and of course various beaches.

| bandicoot703:30 UTC04 Jan 2020 | On reflection, I think you may spread yourself thin and not have enough time to explore.
How about going to less places and exploring more.
I agree with Laszlo about Sigatoka being good to visit.
Perhaps you can go to Navala Village or Namosi Eco Retreat https://www.facebook.com/namosieco/
(which I have visited twice and love)
then Suva and return
I suggest skip Ovalau this time

| peter_n_margaret03:31 UTC04 Jan 2020 | VoliVoli was our favorite weekend spot when we were living in Lautoka, but I think the backpacker accomodation has gone now in favor of more up market offerings. Take a 15 minute cab ride from RakiRaki to get there.
There is quite a nice beach at RakiRaki, unlike the Coral Coast which is just that - coral.
Cheers,
Peter
