Naitaba Island (Naitauba,[1] Naitaba[2]) [3][4] is an island of the northern Lau Islands of Fiji. It is a triangular shaped island approximately 2.4 km (1.5 mi) in diameter.[5] The island is volcanic with coral and rises to 186 metres (610 ft) on a flat-topped hill toward the southern end of the island. The island is forested and coconuts were grown commercially for copra. There is a barrier reef completely surrounding the island.
