Sigatoka Sand Dunes
We had thought that we would need to book an organised trip to visit these dunes, but since we are now becoming quite used to the buses and taxis we put together a DIY excursion. Since we managed to do it for just over £4 each (including a bus and taxi in each direction, park entry fee and lunch) it’s safe to assume that an organised trip would have cost a little more.The dunes themselves are quite interesting, and hard work to climb if you choose to turn up in the middle of the day as we did. But somehow I wasn’t as impressed as I expected to be, I’m sure I’ve seen similarly big piles of sand on beaches elsewhere!
More interesting are the archaeological finds that have been made here. Bones and pot fragments have been dated at 3000 years old and have shed light on the movements of people around the pacific in those times.
