Lautoka, Port city on the western coast of Viti Levu, Fiji

Located 25 kilometers north of Nadi International Airport, Lautoka extends over 32 square kilometers and contains numerous sugar cane plantations.

Captain William Bligh first documented the Lautoka area in May 1789 while navigating toward Timor after the mutiny on the Bounty.

The name Lautoka originates from a historical duel between two chiefs, where one chief exclaimed the words after striking his opponent with a spear.

The Port of Lautoka functions as the primary maritime gateway for western Viti Levu, processing bulk sugar exports and receiving cruise ships.

The Lautoka Sugar Mill, established in 1903, remains the largest employer in the region and maintains its position as the center of sugar production.
