The area is home to 36 species of birds, and it’s recommended to arrive early for birdwatching. Special arrangements for early arrival can be booked in advance via the Sigatoka Sand Dunes website, as are guided tours throughout the day.

2. Refresh at the Biausevu Waterfall

Who doesn’t love a good waterfall?! The tall lopsided Biausevu Waterfall is a marvel to see and can be experienced in several ways.
