Taveuni

The first layer of Taveuni is geological and ecological rather than scenic. A high central ridge captures heavy rain, feeding forest streams and waterfalls that descend toward narrow coastal plains.

The visible shoreline or channel at Taveuni is only one stage in a larger cycle. “Bouma waterfalls” demonstrates how flow, season and terrain interact. Forest streams descend through a sequence of accessible pools and falls.
