Vorovoro Island is a spectacular eruption of land; a short plane, bus and boat ride from Fiji’s international airport. Over 200 acres of cliff-topped jungle and palm-fringed paradise surges out of the crystal blue South Pacific ocean.
The island lies to the drier side of Fiji’s second largest island, Vanua Levu. Its leeward (southern) side is characterized by high ridges, interspersed with cave formations separated by mangrove ecosystems and a secluded beach. This side of Vorovoro faces the Vanua Levu and the estuary leading to the Labasa River which provides an alternative route to Labasa. (Labasa is Fiji’s fourth largest town with a population in the up of twenty five thousand citizens).
The island has marked high ridges of rocky formation running along the island like a backbone that is almost continuous. Where there is a break, the valley provides the much needed flat land suitable for crop cultivation, buildings and tribal living! The valley is densely covered with coconut palms and other tropical fruit tees such as papaya and citrus. The valley’s rich loamy soil has served the subsistence needs of the Tui Mali’s family well during the years. Overall the ridge cover is generally that of a talasiga one consisting of intermittent grass patches and canopy of no more than five meters high. However, there are few large trees but mainly in the ravines.
