Chase the wind at Kite Point
When the tradewinds blow from April to January, kite season picks up on the Suncoast. If you’re a keen kiteboarder or windsurfer, then this remote peninsula in northern Viti Levu is the place to be. Learners can launch their sails from sheltered Kite Point on Nananu-i-Ra Island while old hands take advantage of the steady 15 – 30kt winds to fly across the water and test out new tricks.Chase the wind at Kite Point
Hit the Heights

Talanoa Treks guides you along the well-worn paths that weave their way through golden grassland and native forests, to spectacular waterfalls and up mountains like Mt.

Visit the 'Church of the Black Christ'
The unusual mural at the Church of St Francis Xavier near Rakiraki is the perfect excuse for a pitstop on a self-drive of the Suncoast. Better known as the ‘Church of the Black Christ’, the large wall painting above the altar expertly blends Christian beliefs with local Fijian elements like a masi-clad Christ, woven mat and whale’s tooth offerings by devoted Fijians and a forest of breadfruit and banana trees. The mural was created by French artist Jean Charlot and small contributions are welcomed for the upkeep of this intriguing fresco.Visit the 'Church of the Black Christ'
