Tavuni Hill Fort was built by 18th-century Tongan chief Maile Latumai and later destroyed. Since then it has been semi-restored and preserved by the people of Naroro Village. The guides at the fort provide a glimpse into Fiji's precolonial history, including tribal warfare and cannibalism.
Savu Na Mate Laya Falls
A fairly accessible, 20-metre high, tiered waterfall. The hike through the rainforest to get to the falls takes around 20 minutes. The waterfalls are at their grandest and most beautiful just after the wet season which ends in April.
Jet boat ride in customer built boats through the scenery of the Sigatoka Valley. The ride incorporates visiting an authentic Fijian village and experiencing their culture.
The sand dunes are a geological, ecological and archaeological treasure. The dunes themselves stand between 20 and 60 metres tall. The park is rich in endemic wildlife, especially birds. In the 1980s, an ancient burial site was discovered which has been dated to around 2600 years old. Shards of pottery produced by the ancient Lapita people have been and continue to be found within the dunes.

This is a five-star hotel on Coral Coast of Viti Levu Island, with superb and friendly staff, great air-conditioned rooms, decent shops and lots of things to do.

Catch their amazing breakfast and attend the frog race if you get a chance, often on a Friday night.
