The 6 Best Nature & Parks in Taveuni Island, Fiji

August 7, 2021 Layne Dawes

Sure, it’s a bit rainy here. But a lush tropical paradise needs water—otherwise you wouldn’t see such brilliant flowers everywhere. The black-sand beaches provide contrast to the riot of color everywhere else. Nature-lovers can see many of Fiji’s indigenous species, especially in Bouma National Heritage Park (where you should also stop at Bouma Falls).

Lavena Coastal Walk

Beginning at Lavena village, this guided walk takes you along Taveuni's wild southeastern coastline, past breathtaking views, black sand beaches and beautiful forests.

Beautiful coastal walk, not too challenging. We saw a rare orange dove, thanks to our guide and the waterfall was beautiful and refreshing. It even has a fun natural rockslide on the side, which goes into the pool. If you dont have much time on Taveuni to do everything, I would prioritise this coastal walk. Highly recommended.

100% would recommend a visit here if you have the chance! Tip - go early sndy hike to the top pool FIRST, you're likely to have it completely to yourself! We hiked up there about 9.30am, spent an hour up there and were completely uninterrupted. We then went to the second pool and there was only one other person there. The second pool is quite noisy due to the force of the water! And the lower pool always has a ton of people at it. So make the effort to go to the top one and spend your time there:) The water is so cool and refreshing, a welcome feeling from the heat & humidity!!

A visit to Bobby’s 100 acre farm was one of the highlights of our visit to Taveuni. It was such an educational tour (being local we thought we knew a lot) and Bobby is so knowledgeable on the flora and fauna and loves to share his knowledge. We learnt about fruits and plants we had never seen before. Along the way we collected and tried fruits and at the end of our walk we had an amazing vegetarian curry banquet prepared by Bobby’s elderly mother. We spent about 4 hours here and this tour of Bobby’s paradise is the real Fiji and felt as though we were with an old friend. I definitely recommend a visit and will be bringing family and friends with me next time.

Waitabu Marine Park

Arrive in the tree-adorned island of Taveuni to discover a tropical paradise you've only dreamed about. Slip on your fins and mask and slide into the warm waters of Fiji. Let all the stress of everyday life fall away as you make your way along the magical reef of Waitabu. The communities of Waitubu and Bouma came to protect their native fishing grounds in 1998. Their foresight and diligence has allowed visitors, like yourself, the opportunity to share in the beauty of the Waitabu Marine Park. These crystal-clear waters are home to the most amazing marine species you may ever see. Don't be too surprised when you pass a sea turtle or find yourself following a gentle ray. You know you're in paradise when you've landed in the Waitabu Marine Park.

Waitavala Natural Rock Waterslide

Reviewed By SarahJFisk - Berkeley, United States

If you are young, athletic and agile, this place is magic! You have to hike thru the forest along a stream and then cross the stream and climb over some rocks to get further up. Then you can slide down a series of small cascades in the stream and end up in a bigger pool right where you crossed the stream. Its hella fun for kids and adults - but fair warning: its at your own risk! There's no one there to sue if you get hurt. And of course, its fun to watch if you don't want to try it. Oh - and please don't litter. This is a working forest ecosystem to be protected and preserved.
