Introducing Labasa & Around

The air is thick with the smell of molasses in Vanua Levu's largest town. Sitting on the northwestern side of the island's mountain range, about 5km inland on the banks of the meandering Labasa River, Labasa is a sugar town, and crushed cane husks and sugar trains abound. The population is predominantly Indo-Fijian, and Bollywood tunes waft from countless trinket and sari stores.

While Labasa is a bustling trade, service and administrative centre, it doesn't have a lot to offer tourists. Most shops and services can be found on Nasekula Rd, the main street. In an emergency, contact the police (881 1222; Nadawa St) or the hospital (881 1444; Butinikama-Siberia Rd).
