Savu-i-One Waterfall
The Savu-i-One Waterfall (or Savuione Waterfall) is the feature waterfall attraction of the remote Koroyanitu National Park in northern Viti Levu. To even get to the reserve, you'll need to arrange for transport as the road leading to the gateway village of Abaca requires a high clearance 4wd vehicle. You can arrange such a transport either at the visitor center in Lautoka or at the Lautoka Hotel. We managed to do it using the latter option on our trip. The waterfall is actually much taller when seen from a distance as it consists of multiple tiers. You'll only see the main drop when you get close to the waterfall. The trail from Abaca to the waterfall requires about an hour each way. You can also do the trail as a loop taking about 2-3 hours, but that means you have to cross a very slippery and fast running stream at the base of the falls then climb up a slippery rock using footholds carved into the rock. It's not for everyone and we even turned back at the falls on our trip. You can also get distant views of the falls near the Kokobula Bure (an overlook hut) if you start the other side of the loop. But that requires scrambling into the creek for a while before finding the trail as it goes to a large and open grassy area. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
