The first waterfall is the easiest to reach - a short walk from the village of Bouma. It is the widest of the three, with water fanning out across a rocky face into a clear, cool pool. The second and third waterfalls are further into the forest and a little harder to find - which makes arriving at them feel even more exciting.
Taveuni is one of the rainiest islands in Fiji, which is exactly why it is so green. The mountains catch clouds coming from the ocean and wring them out, keeping the rainforest thick and lush all year round. This kind of forest that grows on a mountain and catches clouds is called 'cloud forest'.
The forest around Bouma is full of wildlife. Taveuni is famous for the orange dove - a bright orange bird found nowhere else in the world. There are also Fiji goshawks, giant fruit bats that roost in the treetops, and several species of tropical parrot.
The waterfalls and forest are managed by the local communities through the Bouma National Heritage Park. Families from the nearby villages act as guides, look after the trails and share the history and stories of the land. The money visitors pay goes directly back to those communities.
