The harbor town of Savsavu is located on the south coast of Vanua Levu Island. It is part of the 332 (110 inhabitedl group of islands which compromise Fiji. The first crystallized sugar was thought to have been manufactured there in 1862. For yachts, Savusavu is a popular port of entry into Fiji.
The port has a bustling marina and attractive waterfront. The town was originally established as a trading for products, such as sandalwood and copra (coconut meat).
Today, Savusavu is better known for a burgeoning eco-tourism industry which has spawned several luxury resorts and has an abundance of scuba diving and boating activities. The 19th century Copra Shed Marina is now home to the local yacht club and next to the main dock.
Landlubbers can visit hot springs, do waterfall hikes, trek the Waisali Forest Reserve, and visit traditional villages.
We spent the better part of the day walking along the waterfront of this small port town, visiting the local farmer's market, hot springs, marina, and local shops. Later, we trekked 1.5 miles out of town to visit a nearby boutique resort, the Radu Resort.
