The 2 times I have been to this island I had 6 out 9 days and 11 out of 13 on a 12m kite. The wind comes in mid morning and stay until dusk. You can be on the water for 6 hours at a time. The winds blow sideshore from the launch area and onshore towards the bottom of the bay. If you do get in trouble, you will come in on land. Basically do not go too far out. The 3 times I have been amount to 45 days, of which 9 were non kitable, and 5 of those were on the first trip.
The Kings Road around the Northern Viti Levu, between Latoka and Suva has some beautiful scenery and is recommended for travel by bus, taxi or car, but if you choose the car option, beware. This main road is not a safe one as animals, people and some of the oldest cars known to mankind can be regularly seen sitting on the road. We took a taxi from Nadi which costs about F$80 - one way. It takes roughly 3 hours to get there, with a stop in Latoka for food and other basics. The Taxi driver will drop you at the Ellington Wharf which has a small cafe and waiting area. A great place to meet some locals. The boat trip is another F$20 return (this is arranged by the accommodation people). Most taxi drivers will offer to show you the sights along the way, do not stress, this is normal and part of the trip. Tipping is not required either.
