20 BEST Waterfalls in Fiji 🏞️ [2025]

Last Updated: 17 June, 2025

Where to Find Fiji’s Most Majestic Waterfalls

When you think of Fiji, you might think of scattered islands with sandy shores and swaying coconut palms.

However, there’s a wilder side to the island archipelago full of mountains, tropical jungles and waterfalls. And, let’s be honest, no one is above seeing a good waterfall.

With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of some of the most majestic waterfalls in Fiji for your viewing pleasure, as well as details on how to get to them.

1. Wainibau Falls (Taveuni)

The island of Taveuni is renowned for its natural beauty, particularly its waterfalls. One of the most impressive of which is Wainibau (pronounced wye-nim-bau) Falls, tucked away at the end of the 5 km (3 mi) Lavena Coastal Walk.

Starting the walk in the Bouma National Heritage Park, the 3-4 hour return walk takes you along sandy beaches and rocky coastline until you reach a swimmable passage with a waterfall at the end.

If visiting independently, remember to bring sevusevu (a traditional gift), or let your resort’s tour guide handle the formalities. For the adventurous, combine your waterfall visit with the Muanivatu Trails – a 45-minute walk across the ridge from the village to the falls. The cleared walkway has no steps or rails, so it’s best suited for fit travellers aged 15-40.

While it’s just a short walk from Waiyevo town, the real excitement lies in the slide itself. Take cues from the locals on how to navigate it safely, and avoid sliding after heavy rainfall. Oh, and a word to the wise: leave your sunglasses behind for this one (we learnt that the hard way).

19. Vereni Pools (Suncoast)

Embark on the shortest and sweetest walk in the Koroyanitu National Heritage Park. This 30-minute round trip to the Kokobula bure and back is a delightful adventure that will have you wading through streams and navigating trails.
