As for other walks, you are best choosing a resort which offers space to wander. Some of the resorts feature spectacular rainforests, coral flats and tropical gardens to explore on foot.

1. Sigatoka Sand Dunes Walks
Fiji’s first national park, Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park is a must for avid walkers. The park, just south of Sigatoka, is protected for its unique nature and history.
Arrive at the visitor centre, open daily from 8 am to 4:30 pm, where it’s around FJ$10 per adult to access the walking trails. It offers two main walking options: a one-hour shaded walk that is less steep and a more challenging two-hour hike with great views.
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.

A breathtaking waterfall and swimming hole, Biausevu Waterfall can be walked either independently or on a guided tour.
On your own, drive or take a taxi to the village of Biausevu, where local villagers will guide you to the Biausevu Waterfall, also known as the Savu Na Mate Lava Waterfall, for a small fee. The walk takes approximately one hour but leaves time for swimming and chatting with the locals.
Alternatively, take a tour with Coastal Inland Tours or Go Local Fiji.
