Fiji Islands make up the archipelago popularly known as Melanesia, which is composed of 320 islands of which only one third are inhabited. This is located in the South Pacific Ocean about 1,100 nautical miles (2,000 km; 1,300 mi) northeast of New Zealand's North Island. The majority of Fiji's islands were formed through volcanic activity started around 150 million years ago. The Fiji Islands offer great visitor attractions, from pristine beaches of white sand and coral islands, to tropical forests and spectacular natural places to spend a fantastic holiday.
Suva, Fiji's capital, is one of the major cities of the South Pacific and the focal point of the country, where lives more than half the urban population of Fiji. It has beautiful beaches, ideal sites for scuba diving among the beautiful coral reefs.
Viti Levu is the Fiji's main island, with abundant tropical forests and beautiful beaches with crystal clear water. To the north of Viti Levu is the small island of Nananu-i-Ra, which is ideal for rest and it is a quiet, because it was depopulated by wars and epidemics of the nineteenth century. It has the odd tourist haven, and is perfect for snorkeling, walking and going to the beach. To get there, take a boat from Ellington Wharf. Vanua Levu, which means 'big island', is the second largest island in the archipelago. As this is a volcanic island, it is difficult to find a good beach to rest, but are excellent places for diving, snorkelling, kayaking and bird watching. Levuka, the old capital city, offers interesting places to be known as the Sacred Heart Church, City Hall and the Masonic House Romance, among others. It also has a good area for diving, snorkeling.
