Overview
Levuka, located on the southeastern coast of Ovalau Island in Fiji’s Lomaiviti Province, is the country’s historic first capital and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nestled between volcanic mountains and the Pacific Ocean, this charming town preserves its 19th-century colonial character with wooden storefronts, old churches, and civic buildings that reflect its role in Fiji’s early development. Cruise ships dock directly in the town center, offering immediate access to its walkable streets and cultural landmarks.
Beyond its historical significance, Levuka enchants visitors with its laid-back island vibe and welcoming community. The town is surrounded by lush rainforest, coral reefs, and traditional Fijian villages, making it an ideal base for excursions that blend nature and heritage. Whether you're exploring historic sites, snorkeling offshore, or engaging with local customs, Levuka offers a uniquely authentic Fijian experience.
