Raranitiqa Island (also known as Rara ni Tinka or Tavuka)[1] is a Fijian island located within the Ringgold Isles archipelago, which forms an outlier group to the northern island of Vanua Levu. It is located within the Budd Reef and large formations of rocks, known as the Gangway rocks, make navigation around the island dangerous at night.[2] It has a land area of 2.49 hectares (6.2 acres; 24,900 m2). The southern part of the island has a "well-defined summit."[3]
