When you arrive to Lautoka, you’ll be surprised to learn its the second-biggest city in Fiji because of how charming and quaint it is. Known as “Sugar City” for its huge sugar cane industry, Lautoka, Fiji offers plenty of sweet things to do, like exploring the old Sugar Mill, taking off on an adventurous nature excursion, or relaxing in local hot springs. On a New Zealand cruise to the South Pacific, there are plenty of reasons to take it easy in Lautoka.
If you’re looking to fill a day here, head to the city’s most popular attractions like the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, or venture outside the city limits to the lush rainforest of Koroyanitu National Heritage Park. Of course, Fiji is famous for its beaches, so there’s plenty of sun and sand waiting for you at Natadola Beach or Saweni Beach, just five miles from the city center.
