O Le Pupu-Pu'e National Park
National park · Upolu · South Coast
Samoa's first national park (1978), spanning 50km² from the south coast up to the rainforest summit of Mt Fito. Highlights: a coastal lava-cliff walk where the Pacific crashes against ancient flows, the giant Ma Tree with buttress roots fanning across the forest floor, and Togitogiga Falls and pools at the eastern boundary. Marked trails are good; arrange a guide for the deeper rainforest hikes.
Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park
National park · Viti Levu · Sigatoka
Fiji's first national park: a dramatic belt of wind-sculpted coastal sand dunes at the mouth of the Sigatoka River, rising up to 60 metres and fringed by forest and Pacific surf. Also an important archaeological site, with a visitor centre and guided walks.
