Tavuni Hill Fort

The fort stands on a 90-meter limestone ridge above the Sigatoka River, featuring stone walls, terraces, and traditional building foundations throughout the complex.

Built in the 18th century by Tongan chief Maile Latumai, this defensive structure protected inhabitants during conflicts between rival tribes in the region.

The site contains ceremonial grounds, grave locations, and a stone platform that demonstrates the traditional social organization of ancient Fijian settlements.

Visitors can reach the fort by taxi from Sigatoka for approximately 5 dollars, with operating hours from 9:00 to 16:30 on weekdays.

The fort includes natural elements such as curtain fig trees and a Polynesian chestnut tree integrated within its archaeological structures.
