Bouma National Heritage Park

　　Bouma National Heritage Park (Bouma National Heritage Park) was established in 1990, primarily to protect the tropical rainforest and its rich biodiversity on Taveuni Island, while also serving as an economic lifeline for villagers in nearby communities. The park covers 80% of Taveuni Island, encompassing 150 square kilometers of tropical rainforest and coastal woodland. It is renowned for its breathtaking waterfalls, forest hiking trails, and coastal walks.

　　The stunning waterfalls of Bouma National Heritage Park gained international fame as the filming location for the Hollywood blockbuster *The Blue Lagoon*. It is a pristine destination where visitors can explore forest hiking trails to witness the park’s iconic waterfalls. There are three Tavoro Waterfalls located near the visitor center, each with cascading waters that form natural swimming pools. The first waterfall, which is 24 meters high, is just a 10-minute walk along a flat path from the visitor center. The second waterfall requires a 30- to 40-minute hike; although smaller, it also offers a lovely natural pool. The path is steeper but features built steps and railings. Additionally, exploring Bouma National Heritage Park allows visitors to encounter many unique local animals and plants, making for an enjoyable and memorable experience.
