Getting There

  • Car

    From Lautoka, drive approximately 15 km inland towards Abaca village, the 'base camp' for Koroyanitu Heritage Park. The road can be rough, so a 4WD is recommended. As of April 2023 major improvements have been made to the road/bridge to Abaca and it is now accessible by any vehicle. Once you get to the access road it will be about a 20-minute drive to Abaca up the mountain. Park entry fee is FJD $30 for tourists.

  • Taxi

    Hire a 4WD taxi from Lautoka or Nadi/Denarau to Abaca village. Arrange a trusted taxi/driver service for transportation to the park. A 4WD service will provide transport from both Lautoka and the Nadi/Denarau area. During the dry season of April-September, all taxis will drive to Abaca, but to ensure that you get here safely, especially during the more rainy season, we recommend that you call us to help arrange transport or go with a 4WD service. Expect to pay around FJD 75-100 from Lautoka. Park entry fee is FJD $30 for tourists.
