If this is your client&#8217;s only experience with Fiji, it\u2019s time to change that. From the tropical vistas to the ancient culture, Fiji is an experience unlike any other and the Sigatoka Sand Dunes bring all of it together.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>History of Fiji<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fiji is a country in Oceania made up of 332 islands, of which 106 are inhabited. The main island, which is also the largest, shares the name of Fiji. (It\u2019s exactly like the Big Island of Hawai\u2019i sharing the name of the state.)\u00a0 Aside from Fiji being a popular destination for those seeking a tropical getaway, the main island is brimming with culture and natural beauty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fiji\u2019s Ancient Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The stunning Sigatoka Sand Dunes are home to one of the largest burial sites in the Pacific. Human remains found here are helping anthropologists piece together the history of Polynesia. In addition, many excavated pottery shards date to 2,600 years ago. This suggests that settlers to Polynesia arrived 500 years earlier than what was previously believed. In addition to its historical significance, these dunes make for a fun day trip. Guided walks are available and the park frequently has special programs available for those wanting a more in-depth experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Get There<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When your customers are ready to explore Fiji, Sky Bird will help you get them there.
