Totoya

Totoya is a volcanic island belonging to Fiji origin. It is located in the southeast of the island nation and one of the Moaloa Iceland, a southwestern subgroup of the Lau Islands. It has a land area of 28 km ². The highest elevation is 348 m above sea level. The island has a horseshoe-shaped floor plan, with the opening to the south, a caldera. It is surrounded by a fringing reef that surrounds a lagoon. It is a kind Atoll in the early stage of development. In the south is also the most important passages through the reef, Ndaveta ni Sangga, and west of it Ndaveta Tambu.

The island has a population of a few hundred inhabitants, spread to about four villages: The main town Tovu ( Dawaleka ) and Ketei in the east, Ndravuwalu ( Dravuwalu ) in the north and Undu ( Udu, with a population of 100 to 150 ) in the southwest. The main town Tovu was moved in 1800 from the west side ( Navuli ) on the east side of the island.

A fifth village, Vanuavatu is located on the 81 km north-eastern island of Vanua Vatu, which is traditionally one of Totoya, although nearer to Lakeba.

The residents make their money by selling coconuts.
