Rewa River

Rewa River

The Rewa River is the longest river in Fiji. Located on the island of Viti Levu, the Rewa originates in Tomanivi, the highest peak in Fiji, and flows southwest for 145 km to Laucala Bay, near Suva. The Rewa River drains approximately one-third of Viti Levu.

The Rewa River is fed by two large tributaries, the Wainibuka and the Winimala and it is joined by several other rivers of importance before it reaches the sea by a delta of many mouths. It is navigable by small crafts up 100 kilometers from its mouth and its basin is enriched by a deep deposit of alluvial soil. There are more than 200 native villages situated on its banks.
