Savulevu Yavonu Waterfall

Savulevu Yavonu Waterfall





The Savulevu Yavonu Waterfall is a 20m waterfall that falls directly into the seas of the Ravilevu Coast in the rugged part of Eastern Taveuni. We were only able to access it by motorized boat, and the kind folks at Lavena would only take us there if the seas were calm enough. Fortunately for us, they were.

Apparently this waterfall used to be used for drinking water by early sailors. Today, a few landslides caused the falls to no longer flow directly into the ocean, but it's still pretty nonetheless.

If you do shell out some money to see the falls, there's an added benefit of reducing the amount of hiking on the Lavena Coastal Walk. That is, you don't have to hike out and back from Lavena Village. Instead, you can take the boat to see this waterfall, then have them drop you off where Wainibau Creek meets the ocean. You can pick up the trail from there and ultimately take it to hike back along the Lavena Coastal Walk to Lavena Village.

We took advantage of this option after it was suggested by one of the Lavena locals.

Directions: See our Wainibau Falls page for directions to Lavena from Western Taveuni.
