- MARAIA VULA SUVA maraia.vula@fijisun.com.fj

Have you ever tried out the ShangriLa’s Fijian Resort’s Getaway offer that includes Sigatoka Dunes and River Jet Fiji?

If your answer is no than you should. Shangri-La’s, director of sales, Marsha Eyre, said the resort wanted to ensure that they were supporting their local activity partners in driving business, not only to the resort, but to Sigatoka as well.

“We have created this package which is the Coral Coast experience along with Shangri-La’s Fijian Resort & Spa.

“The Sigatoka River Safari is a once in a lifetime experience and a chance for everyone to try while the prices are very competitiv­e.

“The jet boat rides take up the Sigatoka River past the famous Sigatoka Valley doing thrilling spins on the river.

“Although Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park is famous, not many Fijians have had the chance to actually visit the sand dunes.

“The National Park is of great importance for educationa­l and recreation­al use and is a milestone in Fiji’s drive for environmen­t conservati­on.”

Ma Eyre highlighte­d the National Park is an:
