Beautiful Waterfalls

Set the scene perhaps for popping the question at one of Vanua Levu’s majestic waterfalls. There is no lack of waterfalls to choose from, with a popular one being the Vuadomo Waterfall. But if you’re looking for something a bit more intimate then many resorts will have waterfalls on their premises. The Emaho Sekawa Resort has three waterfalls near the resort, ranging from an easy walk through a local village to a more difficult hike.
