- Robert BHighlands Ranch, Colorado9 contributionsFun Waterfall HikeNice easy hike to waterfall. Cross the stream about 9 times, so need good water shoes with secure backs ( Keens, etc.). Not flip flops. Fun swim in the pool at the base of the waterfall. Some were climbing the cliff at the base of the falls and jumping in, but I wouldn’t recommend that as the water is not deep. A local guide is required, so make arrangements in advance.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 23 March 2024
- wadvaniSydney, Australia29 contributionsLovely waterfall with a nice walk in.We self drive to the community hall in the village. Then participates in the welcome ceremony. Then the 9 year old got on a horse and the adults walked up to the waterfall. It took about 40 minutes to walk at a leisurely pace. Crossing the river multiple times. It was very refreshing. Our guide Alfred showed us all the different plants and their uses. And lots of information about the village and the area. The waterfall was beautiful and the swimming was good. It’s best to wear reef/beach shoes rather than thongs.Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 9 April 2024
- Jiri KSan Francisco, California2 contributionsEasy walk to waterfall, swim and plungeWe self drove to the village. Paid FJD 20/adult and FJD 10/kids. Drunk kava. Hiked with a lovely guide. Walked bare foot most of the way as there is a concrete path and sandy bottoms in creek crossings.Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 26 April 2024
- Michelle WFalls Church, Virginia17 contributionsNice alternative to afternoon at the poolWe took a day trip from a resort on the Coral Coast, booked it through our driver from the airport to the resort. There was a 25FJD/person entrance fee (a surprise to us) and they showed us some touristy souvenirs for sale. They assigned us a guide to the waterfall, just the 2 of us, didn't need to wait and be part of a larger group. The hike is mostly a narrow paved path through jungle, but several muddy areas and several stream crossings with rocky bottoms. The waterfall itself was great, refreshingly cold water after the hike. Parts of the pool were shallow and it got deeper the closer you got to the falls. We spent maybe 45 minutes to 1 hour there and were told me needed to go back. Just a side note - be careful of the drivers you hire, we thought we were doing a waterfall outing and our driver insisted on taking us into town and to a pottery studio first. I understand that's how they spread the wealth but it was a bit of a surprise and a time crunch.Visited May 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 7 June 2024
- M BHuntington Beach, California11 contributionsWaterfall Excursion of Coral CoastVisited during the last week of June '24. Good 6 hour trip off resort. Clear, clean waterfall with large pool for wading at the end of short hike. Bring cash. Trail well maintained and easy to trek during dry weather. Concrete path with option for horseback travel. Enjoyed learning about the fauna and wildlife along the way. Cava ceremony and handicraft market upon arrival. Don't miss spending time at the elementary school on the way.Visited June 2024Travelled with familyWritten 8 July 2024
- Marisa11 contributionsThis is a must do!This is a must do! Go early and beat the crowds and have the place to yourself! Sini was out guide from the village and she was incredible. Very knowledgable about the plants and birds along the way. Plus she was willing to answer all our questions about Fijian life. The water is clear and the swimming was wonderful. So much fun!!Visited January 2025Travelled as a coupleWritten 27 January 2025

Beautiful though strenuous walk through the jungle to the waterfall, helped by a concrete path and the cheeky laughter of village children who hold your hand, insist on carrying your backpack and chatter with you.
Amazing swim and jump off the waterfall and splash around with the kids.
Our guide made us fern crowns and showed us popping leaves, shrinking plants.
Sadly, the broad smiles faded when we did not leave a tip.
Cost F$25 per person for the village guide (and they also have crafts for sale).
Hot Tip: you can drive yourself there and then the $ goes to the village rather than a touring company.
Turn up after lunch as you will get a village guide to yourself and an empty waterfall (and if you go on a Sunday after church, the delightful kids will be there. We feel bad now not leaving a tip but we felt a bit manipulated).

We were travelling as a group of 8 and booked a driver for the day. Our first stop was the waterfalls.
We arrived at the village and were welcomed with a Kava Ceremony and the women from the village were selling jewellery and handicrafts which were well priced.
We met our guide who was a woman from the village. She led us on the 2km hike up to the waterfall, pointing out plants of interest and talking to us about life in the village. It was a mostly flat, easy walk however there are 7 river/creek crossings so reef shoes or sneakers are a must.
When you reach the waterfall there is a toilet, small change room and some picnic tables.
The waterfall is beautiful and the swimming hole is large. You can swim right under the waterfall. There is no drop-off from the swimming hole so you can swim safely. There are plenty of rocks to sit on as well.
We were lucky that there was only a few other people there and everyone was considerate in staying out of each other's photos etc.
We were not pressed for time - each guide only takes one group a day so there is no time limit at the waterfall.
We would highly recommend a visit to the waterfalls - it was a beautiful spot and a nice relief from resort life.
A note: if you are travelling as a group, make sure you pay together to avoid being asked to pay twice. The guide also asked us for a tip.

Wonderful experience! Nice shady activity on a sunny day. Our local guide from the village was very knowledgeable and all our kids thought she was amazing when she demonstrated how to jump from the rocks around the fall. The water was cool and refreshing. Highly recommended!!

We drove to the waterfall in our rental car. It takes 2 hours from Denarau but the time went quickly. You follow Google maps and you turn off the main road just at the village which takes you to the waterfall along a dirt /gravel windy road. You reach the community hall where the locals are waiting to take you to the waterfall. You can either walk (by yourself) or opt for a horse for $50FJD. It is well worth the horse ride as you don't have to go through the 7 creek crossings! Before you leave they will do a welcome ceremony in the hall and you MUST drink the Kava 🤮! The local home have all their wares out for you to buy. Whilst I like to support the locals , everything was more expensive than at port Denarau. There is a $25FJD entry fee also to the waterfall. You need cash for all these things. At the waterfall the guides ( who are carrying your bag whilst you ride the horse) will wait for you whilst you swim. It is incredible refreshing! They will also help you climb the rock wall and jump in if you are brave enough. Against my better judgement I let my 17 yo daughter do it but she survived unscathed! There is a tiny change room where you can get rid of your wet swimmers and ride back in comfort. A very worthwhile trip! On the way back we stopped at the Outrigger hotel 35 mins down the road. They have restaurants open all day so you sit looking at the beach and having a late lunch !

We had the best time going to the waterfall. When you get to the village you have a quick kava ceremony and can buy some souvenirs and then a guide takes you to the waterfall. It costs $25 to go up to the waterfall and you can rent crocs to wear ($5 per person) as you cross the river 7 times, but your own sandals or flip flops would be just as good. Or you can go on horseback ($45). We were guided by Seini who was awesome. She told us all about the nearby plants an forest and their daily life etc. We got really lucky as we were the only 2 people there (3 with the guide) whereas we knew people that went the next day who said there were 50 others. I think it’s better to go later in the day to avoid lots of other tourists. The waterfall itself was really nice and right in the middle of the jungle. There are bathrooms and a changing room at the waterfall too. Seini came for a swim with us too and jumped off the cliff into the water and was really friendly and chatty the whole time. Definitely recommend!

Well worth your time and effort. My one suggestion is that girls and ladies need to pack a skirt that covers knees. After the drive to the village, we went inside the village Community Center. There was a Kava Ceremony and local ladies had laid out their wares to sell. We picked up several items and then walked about the building where the ladies were able to remove their skirts for the hike. The hike was 2.5kilometers through rivers and streams. Once at the falls we went swimming in the refreshing water. It was a bit cool at first but eventually warmed up after swimming around. Our group partook of a picnic lunch that was packed and hauled in. The local guides from the village were excellent and polite. Kitty was one teenage high school girl who shared about the various plants along the way and their useful properties. After our hike back to the village we then took a short walking tour of the village.

We enjoyed our hike to Biausevu waterfalls. Stayed at the Outrigger and drove to Biausevu village and took the tour ourself. Cost FJD $25 per person plus (optional) FJD $5 for water shoes. This price included kava ceremony and a friendly local tour guide.
Driving from Singatoka to Suva, the turn-off to Biausevu waterfall is between the Naviti resort and the Warwick resort. It is in the town of Korelevu. There is no sign on the main highway road indicating the turnoff to the village/waterfall. We used our GPS to find the turn-off to Biausevu village. It is about a 10-15 minute drive on a gravel road to get to the village. When driving, be careful of buses as the road is quite narrow.
The trip started with a kava ceremony and shopping in the local community hall. It was an easy hike and our children (ages 10 and 11) enjoyed it very much. There is a concrete path to walk on if you don't want your shoes to get muddy, There are also seven little streams to cross each way to the falls. The kids loved crossing the ankle deep streams.
Thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It is a good half day excursion. We did an afternoon trip and had the falls all to ourselves.

The waterfall has a strong flow and is very high. There is a deep pool beneath it and we enjoyed swimming under the fall in the cool water. We drove to the village and went to the community hall to pay the entrance. Guides are usually there to take you up to the falls. The walk to the falls is about 3 km and you cross the stream many times. The right footwear is therefore required. The area is forested and shady and the guide will point out different types of plant and explain what they are used for. This was well worth the trip.

You get to see a village miles from the main highway, and lots of flowers on the way to the waterfall. Wear swim clothes underneath, you'll want to jump in at the end. The walk takes 30-40 minutes each way. You have to wade through the creek 7 times. The creek is both sandy and rocky; I recommend wearing reef shoes or dive boots.

This was our favourite trip we did and so close to our hotel (the Warwick hotel). We just got the hotel to book a taxi (not a tour) and we were greeted on arrival and had a kava ceremony. The hall had lots of great handicrafts to buy. My mum is 70 so a lady escorted mum up to the waterfall which was a lovely walk though although a little slippery and we did 7 river crossings each way so wear waterproof shoes and shorts or dress. You can get a horse ride up but we wanted to walk. The waterfall was lovely and beautiful to swim in. We would highly recommend going in the morning and you can be back by lunch time. We found it rained most afternoons in June.

Yes you can, you will still need a village guide, however 50 FD, fee, plus tip for the guide, we have him another 50 FD, Esse, still less then organized tours. Well worth it . Get there early @8 to get it all to yourself.

I have heard that you can either pay the village a fee or you take school supplies with you for the children. Is this an acceptable option here?
Written 31 July 2018
They do require a fee and that includes the guide to take you to the water fall, We also donated school supplies and toys for the children which they appreciated. It was roughly 15 AUD per person
