Viti Levu Highlands

Introducing Viti Levu Highlands

Climbing into the interior of Viti Levu will change all your perceptions of Fiji. This is the Fiji you never knew about. The sultry heat of the beach eases into a cooler clime and tracks snake their way through massive grassy moguls. Shifting green hues replace the dominant blue of the sea and the diversity of foliage and birdlife seems to increase tenfold.

There are small, largely self-sufficient villages and settlements scattered through the hills. Koroyanitu National Heritage Park and the Nausori Highlands have some fantastic trekking and opportunities to work the camera. That one jumper you packed may also get a workout; the mountainous inland areas can get chilly, particularly at night.
