Taveuni, Fiji, is a tropical island ideal for nature lovers and divers alike. For guests wishing to explore the island, we offer a variety of tours and activities.
In this verdant paradise, guests can discover the attractions of Taveuni's cascading waterfalls, rare birds and hidden lakes, in one of the world's completely undisturbed habitats. Your days can be filled with a variety of activities or simply enhanced by the laid back atmosphere and natural beauty of this exquisite Fijian resort. The island is not a center of discos and wild night life, but is a large tropical South Pacific island. It is 4000 feet high, 39 miles long and 7 miles wide. It has approximately 140 waterfalls and streams, dense rainforest and bird life.
Since many of our guests are celebrating their wedding in Fiji with a tropical island honeymoon, we offer several activities with a romantic theme. A Honeymoon Island picnic, romantic dining for two or a honeymoon day on a secluded beach can be enjoyed by honeymoon couples or by any couples who want a "honeymoon" experience without the necessity of a recent wedding!
BOUMA WATERFALL
Imagine the thrill of exploring a pristine Heritage Park exploding with the sights and sounds of rare tropical birds. Here you can bathe under three magnificent waterfalls cascading through lush rainforest.
The path to the first waterfall is flat and follows a deep pretty river with clumps of red and yellow ginger enhancing its banks. The resort will pack you a picnic lunch and provide a guide if wanted.
The Bouma waterfalls are located in a pristine Heritage Park, just a 20 minute drive from the resort. This can be a short tour or take the whole day, venturing high up into the rainforest.
The fall is 100 feet high and falls into a huge pool which is great for swimming. The second and third falls are reached by a walking path through dense tropical rainforest. There are scenic lookout points and seating areas. The views are just breathtaking.
LAVENA WALK
This adventure walk was the location of the second Blue Lagoon movie. The walk takes guests along a white sandy beach looking out and down on beautiful rock pools. You will ford two rivers and pass remote villages before ascending a river valley where the river produces two sensational waterfalls which cascade down at different angles. You can then slide down the waterfall or plunge into the rock pools from the walls.
This is an all day walk and an amazing adventure!
