Labasa
Labasa is the largest town in the northeast of Vanua Levu, Fiji's second largest island, and the capital of Macuata Province. It is steeped in a rich Indo-Fijian cultural atmosphere. Popular attractions include the Nagmandir Snake Temple, which is colourful and exudes a mysterious religious ambience. The Waisali Rainforest Reserve is ideal for hiking, where visitors can enjoy waterfalls, tropical plants and rare bird species. The scenery along the Labasa River is picturesque, and visitors can take a boat trip to explore the mysterious Wadomo Floating Island. As the 'Sugar Capital', one can visit the Labasa Sugar Mill and the traditional sugarcane train. The local cuisine features Fijian-style curries, Kokoda (raw fish cured in coconut milk and citrus), Lovo (earth oven-roasted pork and root vegetables), and Indian roti. Fresh tropical fruits can be tasted at the market.
