Tavoro Falls
Bouma Falls
Three separate waterfalls linked by a rainforest trail climb progressively higher into the hills of Taveuni, known as Fiji's Garden Island for its lush, volcanic terrain. Each tier has its own swimmable pool, with the first an easy ten-minute walk and the third a genuine rainforest trek.
