Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We walked up to the house just prior to the waterfall’s entry of the street and a lady with a massive goitre charged us FJD20 each to get access.
The strenuous walk through nature is great, but not without danger, as it is steep and slippery in several parts.
The waterfall itself was great, but very rough due to the tropical rains in the days prior, so swimming wasn’t a thing for us.

Must see this waterfall when visiting Savusavu. Take your swim suits and camera. We had this organized through our resort with our own guide, but know you can just take a local taxi guide and go.

Cool and refreshing after a short but hot hike to the waterfall. Permission to go to the waterfall is sought by the village with a kava ceremony. Please remember to take a minimum $10Fiji to buy some handmade crafts from the villagers.

I've waited 6 months to write this because I get sad if I have to write a negative review for a beautiful place. That being said, If you aren't in shape, are in various age categories, and/or not a strong swimmer, this side trip is a waste of your money. Let me explain. The climb up to the waterfall is not easy peasy; you're walking on self made steps cut into the mountain and a "handrail" that's a thin piece of wire. It's a good mile (or a titch more) uphill. Very straight uphill. When you reach your destination there is nothing there but a picnic table, an extremely small lagoon (which most of us sat in), and then the small waterfall. My 3 grown kids (ages 30, 31 and 33 LOVED it) and they are all in great shape and very strong swimmers so they played in and under the waterfall the entire time. When you swim between the two rocks to "play and experience" the waterfall, it is VERY deep and a VERY strong current. I thought "oh no" (actually it was a four letter word I uttered) when I swam through to them and my son-in-law had to grab me to help me to the extremely narrow ledge and pull me up. I was scared (again, I was 63, had run a half marathon, I'm in pretty good shape, so I'm far from feeble) and I was like "sorry, going back to sit in the lagoon with everyone else. The grown kids who are all STRONG swimmers raved about it and loved it. I was so grateful when we left that it was all a downhill hike. The guides were very nice, but, this is a very small waterfall area and I think it's a bit misleading when you read about it because we (I) thought it was going to be this lovely, shallow, rather large area. NO! Again, I feel bad giving a negative review but unless you are a very strong swimmer and in really good hiking shape I would not recommend this. At. All.

We took a quick 20 minute drive to the falls from Savusavu. The road is a little dirt road off to the left after you pass the big church. Drive all the way down and cross the bridge. Once you park it's about a 5 minute walk along a very nice and easy trail. The waterfall is brilliant and there was no one else there. We enjoyed a swim and relaxed on the benches. I definitely recommend you visit it's very refreshing!

Be sure when on Vanua Levu to visit this waterfall! It's a beautiful walk through lovely thick tropical forest to get there. Take a picnic and cold Fiji beer with you too!

We enjoyed our trip to the waterfall - a bit of a hike up the mountain, but what a spectacular little gem in the middle of the jungle - we loved swimming under the waterfall, and some of the bigger boys enjoyed jumping off the cliff face into the water :)

Really lovely day up to the waterfall. We hired horses off the village and rode up (they are really docile & easy to ride-mine had to be led which I was happy about as I'd never been on a horse. The guide was really nice & we shared our lunch with him. A great day, really felt as though we were supporting the village instead of a 'tourist operation'. We had kava with the men, visited the kindergarten & felt welcome. A really lovely place, the real Fiji.

The journey from the resort to this place is about 45 minutes, the hike up to the waterfall is about 20 to 25 minutes, decent and not overly difficult terrain. The Waterfall was amazing and you wonder the creation of nature. It is definitely worth to jump or walk into the pool and swim toward the inner cave to see the fall as well to experience the strength of the fall coming down, On the lower end, where water is running is suitable for children. Unfortunately the place is small so it can be crowded and you really cannot spend too much time inside as there are others waiting to do into the pool.

Hi there, just wondering how much per night this accommodation is from the 31st to 2nd of dec/jan. My partner and I are driving up from Melbourne and would love to stay around Byron during this time. I understand this is a very busy period and may not be able to help us out.
Kindest Regards,
