Nadi, on the western side of Viti Levu, is Fiji's third largest city. It is also the country's primary port of entry for air-travellers as it has the largest airport in Fiji. It is most significantly a hub for trips to the Mamanucas and Yasawas, with ferries leaving from the harbour regularly. Several major resorts and hotels have also set up around the town itself to cater for the travelling population.

Sights and Activities

• Sri Siva Subramaniya temple is the largest Hindu temple in the southern hemisphere.
• Nadi Market offers and authentic Fijian shopping experience. Located off Hospital Road between the bus station and downtown.
• Denarau Island, boasts two large resorts, offering visitors multiple restaurants, water-sports and a full-size golf course.
• The Garden of the Sleeping Giant, at the foothills of the Nausori Highlands is about half an hour out of Nadi, a little past the airport. It is a sprawling tropical garden and a great cool retreat on typically warm Fijian days.

Events and Festivals
