Viseisei village, about 8 km south of Lautoka on the coast road toward Nadi, is regarded by Fijian tradition as the place where the first Melanesian settlers landed in Fiji around 1500 years ago. The village is still active and inhabited, with a community that welcomes visitors on organised cultural visits.
A visit typically involves a kava ceremony (sevusevu), a guided walk through the village explaining traditional architecture and practices, and an explanation of the founding mythology. The coast immediately around Viseisei is also good for walking; the reef is visible from the shore and there are patches of mangrove between the village and the sea.
