Taveuni is unique because many of the island's top accommodations are within walking distance of Matei airport, which is on the island's northern tip.

Taveuni is unique because many of the island's top accommodations are within walking distance of Matei airport, which is on the island's northern tip. None of these is especially close to the island's star attraction, Bouma National Heritage Park. The Matei area is the closest, about a 35-minute drive away. The farther south you go, the rougher the road gets and thus the time it takes to get to the park is compounded. The resorts will arrange tours and excursions of any kind and, if possible, dive boats will usually pick up guests right from their beachfront.
The first of the Tavoro Waterfalls, or Bouma Falls, is a 15-minute stroll through manicured gardens along the Tavoro River from its visitor center. It's one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Fiji and was featured in the movie Return to the Blue Lagoon. The second and third waterfalls are successively farther away and are accessible via well-maintained paths. They have smaller swimming pools, but the views on the way are well worth the walk.
Bird-watchers and those looking for a more strenuous experience will enjoy the Vidawa Rainforest Hike. This half-day guided tour takes you through rain forest and ancient village sites and up to excellent views over the island and reefs. Birds you may see include Lady Monarchs, Blue-Crowned Broad Bills, Silktails, and the storied Orange Dove, of which no known photographs exist. The tour includes lunch and refreshments. The trail begins across the road and slightly north of the Tavoro Waterfalls visitor center.

Swim and snorkel over a fringing reef that has been a marine-protected area (MPA) since 1998, when the Waitabu people and other villages agreed to stop overfishing. There are guided snorkeling tours using bilibili or traditional bamboo rafts followed by tea and music on the beach. A cheaper option does not include rafts or tea. The campground offers 12 tent sites near the water's edge, and communal cooking and bathroom facilities. It's slightly north of Vidawa village on the coast.
