💡 Tips
- Nausori is less touristy than Nadi or Suva, offering a more genuine slice of everyday Fijian life.
- Traffic across the Rewa Bridge can be heavy during peak hours; plan your travel to Suva accordingly to avoid delays.
- The local market is best visited early on a Saturday morning when it's bustling with vendors from surrounding villages.
- It serves as a major transport hub; you can easily catch buses and minivans connecting to the eastern parts of Viti Levu.
🍽 Food
Look for 'kai' (freshwater mussels) sold at the market, a local delicacy of the Rewa province.
Try freshly made rotis, samosas, and sweets from the small food carts around the bus stand.
The market is the absolute best place to buy these staple root crops directly from local farmers.

Located on the eastern side of Viti Levu, Fiji's main island, Nausori is a historically significant town that grew around the country's early sugar industry. Today, it stands as a bustling agricultural and commercial center. Situated on the broad banks of the Rewa River, Fiji's widest river, the town has a more authentic, everyday Fijian experience compared to the major resort areas of the west. The heart of Nausori is its animated municipal market, where farmers from the surrounding provinces and the highlands gather to sell an array of fresh tropical fruits, root crops, and freshly caught river fish. This market provides a colorful and lively immersion into local life and regional gastronomy. The nearby landscape is characterized by lush, fertile floodplains and dense tropical vegetation. While Nausori does not feature ocean beaches, it serves as a crucial transport hub for the region. The town is home to Nausori International Airport, the second-largest in Fiji, which acts as a gateway not only to Suva but also to the outer islands of the country. A scenic drive connects the town to the capital, making it easily accessible.
