Vanua Levu (pronounced [βaˈnua ˈleβu]), formerly known as Sandalwood Island, is the second largest island of Fiji. Located 64 kilometres to the north of the larger Viti Levu, the island has an area of 5,587.1km² and a population of 135,961 as of 2007.
Geography
Geologists interpret the shape of Vanua Levu as an amalgamation of several islands that melded through successive stages of uplift. The main part of the island is roughly shaped like a tall, thin triangle 30 to 50 kilometers in width and 180 kilometres in length, rotated so that the point is to the northeast. This point, the northernmost in the Fiji chain, is Udu Point. From the southeastern side of this triangle, a long peninsula stretches out into the Koro Sea. The island is surrounded by coral reefs, and is rough and hilly.
A rugged mountain range divides the island horizontally, forming much of the boundary between the Provinces of Cakaudrove and Macuata. The highest peaks are Mount Batini, also known as Nasorolevu, with an altitude of 1111 meters, and, 16 kilometers further north-east, Dikeva, also known as Mount Thurston, with an altitude of 1030 meters. Vanua Levu's main mountain ranges lie near the windward, southern coasts, making them much wetter. Northern Vanua Levu, by contrast, has a dry climate eight months of the year, enabling sugar cane, the island's major crop, to thrive there. Vanua Levu has a number of rivers, including the Labasa, the Wailevu, and the Qawa. These three form a delta on which the town of Labasa stands. None of the island's rivers are navigable by large vessels.
There are also many well known rivers on Vanua levu. The first is the most dangerous river, the Wainikoro river, known for its shark attacks. The second is the Dreketi river, the deepest river in Fiji.
Award-winning NZ Chef Brett McGregor takes us on a culinary tour around the world introducing Olivado to kitchens along the way. Next stop Vanua Levu in Fiji, where Brett visits the Jean Michel Cousteau Resort and learns to cook Jacunda and navigate the food market to try sea grapes. In this episode Brett learns to make coconut tart with Olivado extra virgin macadamia nut oil and a gluten free lobster pizza using pea, tapioca and rice flour...he also makes a beautiful prawn and fish coconut dish, the pure taste of Fiji. Give these dishes a go at home!

Fiji Islands Documentary in Savusavu Fiji Vanua Levu South Pacific 2017
Fiji Islands Documentary in Savusavu Fiji Vanua Levu South Pacific. Fiji is such a small word for such a grand place. We say Fiji rapidly three times when speaking about these islands for they deserve the larger attention. Fiji is actually quite large when comparing South Pacific island groups. There are two main islands best suited for living with hundreds of smaller islands more suited for exotic tourism. Fiji is about perfect for visiting and even better for residing, as so many of us are experiencing who live here.
