Cruise Overview

North of Nadi through sugarcane plantations and past the Sabeto Mountains is Lautoka, nicknamed the Sugar City for the local agriculture and its big processing mill.

With a population of around 50,000, it's the only city besides Suva and, like the capital, has a pleasant waterfront.

It's the sailing point for Blue Lagoon and Beachcomber Cruises but is otherwise unremarkable for tourists, itself having few hotels and fewer good restaurants.

Locals recommend the city as a less-expensive place to shop for clothing, but note that it can take as long as 45 minutes to drive here.

Legend has it that Lautoka acquired its name when two chiefs engaged in combat and one hit the other with a spear.

He proclaimed "lau toka" (spear hit) and thus the future town was named.
