Waibula Falls
We joined this tour through our resort (we stayed at the Garden Island Resort) before we had to fly back to LA. There were other tours that would've taken us to other private waterfalls as well, but this was the only one we ended up doing. I'm actually not sure if this waterfall (let alone tour) would be available going forward because the owners at the time (we were there in January 2006) expressed concern about the instability in the government and expressed a desire to vacate the plantation. Interestingly, the word "wai" is a common Polynesian word for "water" and "bula" (which you will hear a lot if you're visiting Fiji) means "hello." So if you put the two together, the name of the falls might mean "hello water." Directions: Since we visited this waterfall through an organized tour, we didn't need to do any driving or navigating to get to the falls. But since we had already been familiar with the island prior to the tour, we could say that the plantation was on the northeast side of Taveuni (probably 6km north of the Bouma Waterfalls).
