Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka Attractions

Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka attractions offer something for everyone. Sights range from historical monuments (such as the Momi Guns pictured above) to activities such as shopping, scuba diving, trekking or clubbing.

Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka area nightlife

It’s generally pretty quiet round Nadi but there are a few local nightclubs in town, which can be entertaining but at times may have their share of inebriated patrons. One of the best local places is Ed’s, a nightclub in the Martintar area midway between Nadi Town and the airport. If you’d like to meet locals it’s a good place to go.

Another option are the hotels such as the Tanoa, Mocambo where you can meet hotel guests or locals at weekend dances.

One of the hottest nightclubs in the realm of Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka Area Attractions is Ed's Bar

Other Things to do in Nadi Town

Get your souvenirs in Nadi. Jack’s in downtown Nadi is a good place to start. They have a good quality merchandise ranging from handicrafts to clothing. It’s more like a department store. Sogos, across the street and down the road from Jack’s, has good quality clothing for men and women. Check out their Tabu Soro sports wear. Be sure and see the public market in town. Oh, yeah the Post Office has a great array of postcards sand stamps for philatelists.

Go to the Beach

Wailioaloa Beach is a 1/2 mile stretch of (not particularly attractive) brown sand is the best beach in the Nadi area. On its north end is Travellers Beach Resort and to the south is Club Fiji . The beach is popular with local families that swim there (adults swim usually fully clothed) or beer drinkers, particularly on the weekends. At Club Fiji or Travelers one can buy a beer a meal and/or use the hotel facilities.

Club Fiji - one of  the top Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka Area Attractions

When the waves churn the water near the shore swimming is not the best. If you are going to swim at all, you’re better off on the north end. The south end has a preponderance of mud flats, especially at low tide. However, the Club Fiji is a nicer venue. There is a pool, better restaurant, landscaped gardens, deck chairs, Mexican style palapas and water sports facilities.

Denarau Golf Club is a top Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka Area attractions for duffers

Nadi Airport Golf Club  (5882 yards, par 70) which could more appropriately called the “Runway Way Club”. It lies adjacent to Nadi International Airport. It’s open to the public and very reasonably priced.

Denarau Golf & Racket Club   (7150 yards, par 72) which is part of the Denarau/Sheraton Hotel complex. Designed by Mr. Eiichi Motohashi of Pannya Planning, Japan, it opened on the 9th June, 1993. Like the rest of the Denarau complex it was built on a mangrove swamp. It is distinguished by its marine shaped bunkers and greens. The course has water hazards on 15 of its 18 holes. It’s a challenging, aesthetically pleasing course.

Don’t miss these Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka attractions

Nausori highlands road.

The turn-off to the Nausori Highlands is not too difficult to find. The access road is called the ‘Nadi Back Rd’ and it branches off the Queens Rd about three km south of Nadi Airport in an area called Nawaka, adjacent to a school playing field. Also accessible on the southern edge of Nadi town. It’s a bit more difficult to find from the Nadi end but it can be done. Before leaving, it’s good idea to contact the Public Works Department, the police or the Forestry Department to get a report on the current road conditions in the mountains.

Nausori Highlands illustrates the natural beauty of the Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka area attractions

To get to the highlands road, take the Queens Rd as far as Nawaka and turn inland; or from Nadi go east from Nadi’s main street. If uncertain, ask a police officer – chances are other people will shrug their heads. Allow a day for this trip and take a picnic lunch. The road will be rough, but the scenery will be fantastic and well worth the drive.

Navala Village is one of the Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka area attractions you won't want to miss

There are several options for traveling the highlands road, depending on how adventurous you are:

You can go as far as the major junction at Mamanuca Bukuya and then go on to Ba in the north and connect with Kings Rd. This is a long and tortuous route (about a three-hour drive) ideally suited for a 4WD. The highlight is passing through Navala village deep in the mountains. The bures in this settlement are almost exclusively traditional thatched-roof homes, which are becoming a rarity in Fiji. To see this magnificent village perched on the side of a river valley is worth the trip. The village does, by the way, take in visitors for a set daily fee. There are also fees for photographing the village. You can also reach Navala via a 1-1/2-hour bus ride from Ba three times daily.

The second option is to take the highlands road to its eastern extremity at Bukuya village and continue south 60 km along the Sigatoka Valley and eventually to Sigatoka town. The condition of the road is apt to be much better on this route. Make sure you stop at Nakabuta village along the Sigatoka Valley road, to purchase pottery. This is also a lovely route, but at least a three-hour drive.

Sigatoka Valley, Fiji's salad bowl

A third option is to go as far as you feel comfortable, eat your picnic lunch and head back to Nadi. The scenery along the way begins with rolling hills studded with cane. About 15 to 20 km inland you get into mountains, which tower over deep cleft valleys. Much of the land has been planted with Caribbean pine, which is already yielding valuable building material and, in the form of wood chips (visible in an immense pile at Lautoka Wharf), is also a major export product. Deeper into the interior the landscape becomes more rugged, precipitous and wet.

The inhabitants of the occasional villages are poor, eking out a living from their dalo and cassava patches. It is not unusual to see them walking along the road, bush knives at their sides, on their way to the family teitei (vegetable patch) or perhaps leading a pair of oxen. Some residents of the area, mounted on horses, hunt wild pigs using only bush knives and dogs. After school, children will be making the often long trek back to their homes. Perhaps you will see them toting their books, or village women with prawn nets heading for a stream.

Note that there’s excellent trekking/day hikes close by. For those inclined visit our Trekking page on FijiGuide for more information.

Wailoaloa Beach at Smuggler's Cove is one of the top Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka area attractions

Wailoaloa & Newtown Beaches

These are great places to jog or have a picnic if you’re staying near the Mercure Hotel , the Nadi Bay Motel, Traveller’s Beach Resort  or the Wailoaloa Beach Resort .

From the airport head south about five km and turn right at Wailoaloa Rd, which is about 100 meters past the Dominion. Continue past the Nadi Bay Hotel about three km and follow the road straight to the beach. A vast reach of sand stretches to your left and your right. If you continue to the right a few km (down the beach) you will arrive at Newtown Beach where Traveller’s, Horizon and Newtown beach accommodation is located. If you don’t want to walk to Newtown from Wailoaloa Beach, turn right from Nadi Bay Rd onto Enamanu Rd and follow it to the end. The public access at Newtown Beach stretches northwards from the Turtle Island Airways ‘terminal’.

Garden of the Sleeping Giant  is another of the  not to be missed Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka area attractions

Garden of the Sleeping Giant

Located roughly halfway between Nadi and Lautoka, this estate contains a collection of 30 to 40 varieties of Asian orchids and cattleya hybrids. A combined commercial nursery and fantasy garden it’s situated at the foot of the Sabeto Mountains, in the shadow of the ridge known as the ‘Sleeping Giant’. Once the private collection of the former US actor Raymond Burr (best known for his role as Perry Mason) it’s perhaps the best known attraction in the Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka area.

The highlight of the garden tour however, is not just the orchids. Of equal interest is a meandering stroll on a canopy-covered boardwalk through gorgeous landscaped grounds, across lily ponds up to the edge of a densely vegetated jungle. The turn-off to the garden is about five km from Nadi Airport, on your right as you head towards Lautoka. Take this side road for about two km. You could take a bus and hoof it from the main road, but it’s naturally easier if you have a rental car. Admission is charged.

Sabeto Mud Baths

The mud bath is one of the more unusual Nadi, Denarau and Lautoka area attractions

Just a few kilometers inland from the Garden of the Sleeping Giant  (around 30-minutes from Nadi are 2 mud baths, essentially next door to each other.  The first mud pool is known as Sabeto and the other is Tifajek. Both have changing rooms with showers. (Towels can also be rented as well).

To utilize the therapeutic value of the mud pools, first coat yourself in mud then bake in the sun until it cakes on your skin. Wash off in the first natural hot spring pool then walk over to the next clear water pool for another cleansing. Both places offer inexpensive massage called “bobo” in Fijian.

Momi Guns–Top Military History Nadi, Denarau attraction

The Momi battery was constructed because it overlooked the Navua Passage which offered one of the few breaks in the reef where enemy ships could conceivably enter to attack Nadi Town, the nearby airfield and the port entry at Lautoka. Because of its proximity to the only deep water passage through the reef on the western side of Viti Levu, Momi Bay was also a likely point for an amphibious landing. The guns were also needed to keep enemy naval ships at bay in case they might  shell the coast road. Any reinforcements from Suva would be easy targets from offshore naval fire.

The Momi Guns emplacement

Construction began on the 6-inch gun battery in late 1940 by soldiers from the Fiji Defense Force and The Fiji Public Works Department. New Zealand soldiers later arrived to train Fijian gunners. They were followed by personnel from the US Army who joined the troops. There were two gun emplacements at Momi. Each gun is 7 meters long, weights 7.5 tons and could fire a 45 kg projectile more than 14 kilometers.

The cannon were originally British Naval guns manufactured at the turn of the century and reputedly used in the Boer War and in the relief of Mafeking during WW I.  The guns were fired only in practice. The only occasion they were discharged for ‘protection’ was when a shot was fired off the bow of an unidentified ship which subsequently gave a sharp about turn and identified itself as a New Zealand vessel.

The Momi Guns a relic of WWII are one of the best Nadi, Denarau and Lautoka area attractions for military buffs

Getting There & Away

The turn-off for this WW II battery is 24 km from the airport, and should be clearly marked. Follow the signs about 10 km along the dirt road (bearing to the right) to the Momi Guns site which is maintained by the Fiji National Trust. The road to the battery is part of the original Queens Rd. There is a small museum cleverly created inside an old bunker. The walls are filled with historic photos showing Fijian soldiers in WW II battle dress and others illustrating the restoration of the Momi Guns site from decrepitude to its full camouflaged glory.

As one might expect, the Momi Guns are placed on a hill and have a glorious view worthy of a picnic lunch. (Note that in the hills, cane land is beginning to be replaced by pine.)

Visitors can take a 10-15 minute walk around the park which consists of the gun batteries, the fire control building, armory room, command post, range-finder and the fortification ditch.

The park is open six days a week and admission is $F5. There are toilets, drinking water and plenty of parking space.

Guns of Lomolomo

Lomolomo gun emplacement

Past Nadi Airport the rugged hills of the Sabeto Mountains end almost at the foot of Queens Rd. At this juncture (about 8-1/2 km from the airport) watch for a set of railway tracks and turn right onto the dirt road. There is a school building about 400 meters up the lane on the left. You have to go through private property to get to the gun site so be polite when doing so. It might be better taking the track to the left of the school rather than the one on the right, which will lead you to the base of the bluff and is a tougher climb to the top of hill.

Unlike the battery at Momi Bay, this site has not been taken over by the National Trust and thus has been left in the state in which it was abandoned after the war. The view from the top of the gun emplacement is outstanding. For those traveling by bus, the Lomolomo site is easier to reach than Momi Bay. Take a Lautoka or Viseisei bus from Nadi and ask the driver to let you off at the school.

Postcard of Viseisei Village--one of the truly historic Nadi, Denarau and Lautoka area attractions

Around the bend from Lomolomo and on your left is Viseisei, 9-1/2 km from the airport. Legend has it that this village is the oldest settlement in the country. Fijians say their ancestors first came to Fiji in great ocean-going canoes and landed at nearby Vuda Point. Speed humps have Mamanuca recently been installed in the vicinity of the village to ensure that passing cars move very slowly. This came about after a villager was run over by a speeding vehicle. This also should remind motorists that they should take care when driving in Fiji – pedestrians are not as wary of cars as they should be and can put themselves in dangerous situations.

There is a crafts center at the Nadi side of the village. You can stop there and ask if someone can take you to see the centennial (1835-1935) monument marking the arrival of the missionaries. Opposite the monument is the bure of the chief or tui vuda. In the middle of the village is a large Methodist church with a monument commemorating the arrival of the missionaries. Usually a small tip to the person who has shown you around the village is proper. Incidentally, after having visited this village you’ll be in good company. Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret and Prince Charles have also visited Viseisei. The huge, brand-new looking bure to the left of the road belonged to Dr Timoci Bavadra, the late, deposed prime minister of Fiji.

Vuda Marina with a wonderful ambiance should be on the bucket list of Nadi. Denarau and Lautoka area attractions

The turn-off to Vuda Point and the Anchorage Beach Resort is on the left near the top of the first steep hill along the Queens Rd. About three km down, you pass several large oil storage tanks and then the road becomes very sandy. The beach is a short walk away (through a cane field between two freshwater ponds). This is traditionally where the first Melanesians landed. There is not much to see, but the point is a popular picnic spot for families in the area. Vuda Point is about 12-1/2 km from Nadi Airport.

The Mamanuca Islands are offshore from the Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka area.

One of the developments in the area of interest to sailors is the Vuda Point Marina (see above), which has a small chandlery, fuel dock, a coffee shop, Internet access and a grocery store. Food and drink can be had at the Vuda Yacht Club, whose thatched building is a leisurely spot to watch the boats pass through the marina entrance. To quote one happy yachtie, “Local hotels also offer “yachtie specials” for dinner; First Landing Resort is next door and you can also get a pass to use their swimming pool; the Anchorage will collect you and deliver you back to the marina free of charge.” All of these spots offer great venues to enjoy the sunset while sipping cold Fiji Bitter. Pacific Marine Services carries out boat repairs and maintenance and provides security for unattended boats.

Visit the Mamanuca Islands–offshore from Nadi, Denarau & Lautoka area

There are a myriad of day trips to the Mamanuca Group. You can either fly or take a boat. For day trips talk to Margaret Travel at the airport. She’ll listen to what you want and book you on a tour.Tel 721988/722558/921992/921988 or [email protected] .

  • The Firewalkers of Beqa Island – Fiji
  • New Zealand Travel Blog

On a recent dive trip to Fiji, staying on Beqa Island, we were fortunate enough to witness their legendary fire-walkers in action. From a distance it’s easy to theorize as to how it’s done, but after experimenting on one of the rocks, the blistering result left a burning question - what was their trick?

Fiji Fire Walkers

Where is Beqa

The fijian legend - the firewalkers of beqa island, the history of fire walking.

Many cultures from around the world participate in fire-walking - India, Sri Lanka, Japan, Bora Bora, Spain, Bulgaria, China, Tahiti, South Africa, Trinidad, Mauritius, Honolulu – to name a few. The mystery has always been how the human body can withstand the high temperature and emerge unscathed with no apparent sensation of pain.

I was already skeptical, I had seen the Discovery Channel's Mythbusters Episode 107 (geek I hear you say) They had shown how easy it was to walk over hot coals – they theorized “ your feet don’t get burned when walking over coals because the ash on the coals forms an insulating layer and also because the foot does not stay in contact with the coals for a long period” -------- Mmmm no! Not in this case, the rocks were large with absolutely no ash insulating the top and Doh! My hand was only on the rock for a microsecond when it was most certainly burned – I’m positive my palm would have fried if I had left it on any longer.

Traditional Beqa warriors firewalking

The island of Beqa is only a few kilometers away from Pacific Harbour off the main island of Viti Levu. (Pronounced Beng- a) and is known as the traditional home of the Fijian Firewalker. Although it's done occasionally on the main Island of Viti Levu and I had seen fire-walkers at Sonaisali Island Resort a year earlier, (but was told then that the family participating was from Beqa) – it is almost always linked to Beqa and hence the famous fire walkers of Beqa Island It is said that this ancient religious ceremony often requires great strength and discipline of the mind, body and spirit and the Villagers that participate must observe strict traditional protocols before walking on the white-hot stones – certainly after watching these men slowly walk around the ring of white hot rocks, you do wonder how on earth they do it. 

The British Medical Association: Members of the British Medical Association concluded after witnessing a ceremony, that first, the skin of the participants was neither thicker nor tougher than that of anyone else accustomed to walking barefoot all their lives. Second, there was no evidence of oil or any other substance applied to their feet, nor were the participants under the influence of opiates. Finally, the performers reacted normally to painful stimuli such as burning cigarettes or needles jabbed into their feet before and after the fire-walking.

Preparing the rocks on Beqa

On the island of Beqa, there lived a famous storyteller who often entertained his tribe, the Sawau. It was customary for the people of the village to bring him gifts in exchange for his eloquent tales. Once, upon being asked what he would like, he requested that each member of the audience bring him the first thing they found while hunting the next day. One of the Beqa warriors went fishing for eels. The first thing he caught felt like an eel but when pulled from the mud, revealed itself to be a spirit god. The warrior set off to present his find to the storyteller but the spirit god pleaded for his freedom, offering all kinds of gifts in exchange. He was ignored until he offered power over fire, which piqued the warrior's interest. In order to prove the spirit god's promise, a pit was dug and lined with stones. A huge fire burned in the pit until the stones became white with heat. The spirit god leapt upon the stones and told the warrior to follow. He hesitated but finally did and, to his surprise, felt no pain from the heat. He was then told that he could be buried alive for four days in a cannibal oven without being hurt. The warrior neglected to test this but, ever since then, members of the Sawau tribes are able to walk on white-hot stones.

Give it ago - Not that anyone tried while we were there, but if you happen to be observing the fire-walkers on Beqa and you are unconvinced, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind you getting up and giving it a go.

Raising kids and a little bit of hell

A morning in the life of Nawaka

By Maxabella

We visited the beautiful village of Nawaka during our holiday to Fiji. We were invited to come and meet the chief and see the village by our new friend, Micali, who worked at the resort we stayed at. Nawaka is one of five villages that are under the jurisdiction of the same chief. It’s a very traditional Fijian village quite apart from the fact that it’s a Nadi stopover on the P&O Fijian cruise… let’s ignore that bit. We were going as invited guests and   it was indeed an honour.

On our way to Nawaka, we stopped in at the Nadi markets for the traditional gift of kava root (yaqona). Mica explained that Fijian tradition dictated that guests bring kava to show their humbleness before the chief. I don’t know if he was joking, but he did mention that it wasn’t so long ago that yaqona-less guests would be served up to the chief in lieu of the kava…

There is a sense of arrival when you enter Nawaka village, the kids running to greet you, colourful washing fluttering on the line like flags, dogs barking and leaping and the white stone driveway leading to the stunning village chief’s residence.

We shared the kava with the village chief (whose name I embarrassingly didn’t catch). First the kava root is ground to to a powder and then it is mixed with water in a special bowl. The men drink from the bowl in order of honour – guests are always first – and words of thanks and praise are offered before the person drinking shouts ‘bula!’ and downs the kava in one big gulp. Everyone then claps three times. I was offered the bowl once the kava ceremony was finished. Kava has sedative properties, it makes you feel really relaxed without being sleepy (unless you drink too much, of course!).

The children of Nawaka symbolise everything that is beautiful about Fiji. They are so friendly and welcoming, bubbling over with joy on tap and just a little bit of mischief. To say hello we brought them pencils, pens, textas, highlighters and a pad of A4 paper.

Max remarked that we should have brought them a rugby ball, but conceded that they seem to do just fine without one.

“Does it bother you, being so poor?” Max asked Mica. I cringed, but Mica just looked confused.

“You’ve seen my village! You’ve seen how we live,” he exclaimed. “How am I poor?”

Nawaka is busy the way busy is supposed to be. Peaceful busy. Not traffic busy. Not doing-too-much busy. It’s busy with people calling over to each other. Kids running around madly. Chickens (and turkens, dear god, actual real-life turkens ) scratching. Washing being done. Lawns being raked. Kava being ground. Coconuts split.

Then it’s quiet. Friends sit peacefully together, not saying much. Men gather under the meeting shed to drink a little kava and talk about the day.

“If you need something, you don’t have to leave Nawaka to get it,” Mica tells me. “You just knock on the door of your cousin or brother or uncle or friend and he will give it to you or together you will find someone else who can give it to you. It gets found one way or another” Everyone here is ‘family’ and life is lived in the open.

“There is always someone to be with,” Mica says. “Sometimes that’s more than you need, but mostly it’s all that you need.”
