“Coral Coast Heritage Tour - What a day, had the best driver Kaiyum. It was only the three of us and the experience was exceptional. We not only got an informative tour but also so much laughter on the way. It was so much fun driving through villages with children’s smiles beaming and the WWII Momi Battery was very interesting with a very knowledgeable guide, and the Lomawai Salt making village, Milli had the biggest smile and genuinely had a passion for salt making, the Biausevu waterfall was spectacular and we watched the local village children climb up and jump off the rocks. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves immensely.” - Reviewed on 2022-10-29

Weather-Proof Your Weekend: Tips for a Memorable Stay

While the weather might be unpredictable, your plans don’t have to be. With high humidity and temperatures reaching up to 95.5°F, it’s essential to dress in light, breathable clothing and keep hydrated. The moderate winds might offer some relief from the heat, but don’t forget your sun protection, as the UV index remains high. Carry an umbrella and be prepared for sudden rain showers, especially in the afternoons. For those staying at family-friendly resorts like the Shangri-La Fijian Resort or the Outrigger Fiji, take advantage of the indoor amenities and activities they offer. Whether it’s a relaxing spa day or a fun-filled afternoon at the kids’ club, there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained, rain or shine. Embrace the stormy weather as an opportunity to explore Sigatoka’s indoor treasures and create unforgettable family memories.
