About this site
Vatu-i-ra is a passage between Fiji's main islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, an area known for strong currents feeding a channel between the Bligh Water and the Koro Sea. Heartbreak Ridge sits within this broader Vatu-i-ra region, a stretch of reef and current-swept water popular with operators running trips out from Rakiraki and nearby coastal points.
