Getting There
-
Car
If you are driving a rental car, start from Labasa, the largest town on Vanua Levu. Head south on the Kings Road (Route 1) for about 45 km until you reach the village of Vunivau. From Vunivau, take the road towards the coast, following signs for the Vanua Levu Barrier Reef. Depending on your exact location, you may need to make some turns, so consult a map or GPS for the best route. Be cautious of local traffic and road conditions. There’s no entry fee to access the reef, but consider bringing cash for any local guides or boat rentals.
-
Public Transportation
To reach the Vanua Levu Barrier Reef using public transport, take a bus from Labasa to the nearest coastal village. Buses frequently leave from the Labasa bus station. You will want to ask the bus driver to drop you at the closest stop to the reef area, usually near Vunivau or the coastal villages. Once you arrive, you might need to arrange for a local taxi or hire a boat to take you to the reef. Be prepared to negotiate the taxi fare, and ensure you have cash on hand, as some boat operators may only accept cash.
-
Boat
If you are already on the coast near Vunivau or another nearby village, you can hire a local boat to take you directly to the Vanua Levu Barrier Reef. Look for signs or ask locals for boat services. Prices vary, but expect to pay around FJD 50-100 for a round trip. Always confirm the price and duration of the trip before setting off. Bring your snorkeling gear if you plan to explore the reef.
