This is a nice, easy, flat walk to a waterfall. It follows a lovely coast, and much of the path is packed sand. It is peaceful and goes through some villages, which is really cool. I didn't want to swim to the waterfall, but simply sat on the rocks looking at it. The water in the river is quite cold... More

You just have to experience this walk! It's like not other walk. It included a canoe trip, a waterfall swim and dive and a hanging bridge...

What a great day! Started with ocean kayaking, then up-river to the waterfall, then hike to the next waterfall and swim upstream to another hidden falls. Finally an hour+ hike through the hills and along the coast, and to the village. Great guide! Answered all our questions and more. Thank you. Only thing- the car ride to and from got... More

This was certainly a highlight of Taveuni. Our guide from Lavena village was very knowledgable and helpful. The track has been maintained beautifully and the whole are was pristine, We were lucky enough to see the Orange Dove and a Musket Parrot. The waterfalls were stunning. My only regret was that we did not have the opportunity to spend a... More

This is an experience that you will never find anywhere else. Get a guide and start walking or kayaking one way, you will be handsomely rewarded with an absolutely gorgeous waterfall with a lagun to dive into! a cool bridge over the palms and more :)

The Levena walk is also well worth the effort, the twin water falls at the end of the walk is to die for and very welcome after a very humid walk. The walk is very easy and flat and we saw some rare birds thanks to the expertise of our wonderful guide Simone who added a very special dimension to... More

We had a driver take us into the village where we had a guide take us in single kayaks on the ocean to a place we hiked up to the falls, ate lunch and hiked back. One of the most incredible things I've everdone. You do need to be in good shape to do this and have the proper shoes.... More

Decided to do the Lavena Coastal Walk, based on reviews in several publications. What a gem. Firstly this is not a difficult walk and folks who aren't that fit should be able to accomplish this. Second most of the walk hugs the coastline and you get this amazing experience of being in a forest, yet on the beach. It all... More

This little trip helped us learn about how amazing the people of Fiji are. We arrived at the start of the walk and were unsure if we should get a guide or not. You probably don't need a guide, but it definitely made for a better experience. Our guide Sam was very nice and shared some great stories and information... More
