Located in the Bouma (pronounced boh ma) National Heritage Park on the eastern side of Taveuni you will find the Bouma Falls (also known as the Tavoro Falls). Actually a series of three waterfalls, the tallest waterfall (79') is Lower Bouma, the next tallest (49') is Middle Bouma, and the third waterfall, Upper Bouma, is the shortest (33'), but is a beautiful double-barreled waterfall.
The most accessible falls, Lower Bouma, is just a 10-minute hike and is a popular swimming spot because of its wide plunge pool.
Middle Bouma is an additional 30-minute uphill hike with a rope-assisted stream crossing. This trail is fairly easy to hike and many people do continue on to the middle falls.
Upper Bouma, however, is a challenge. It is an additional hour of hiking from Middle Bouma to Upper Bouma and involves two additional rope-assisted stream crossings. A word of warning, the trail is far more primitive and slippery, but for the adventurous, the reward is a bit of peace and solitude.
