This itinerary covered about a week-and-a-half in the island nation of Vanuatu. Julie and I were celebrating our ten year anniversary, but it also doubled as a birthday celebration for Julie….

Of all the waterfalls we’ve visited in Vanuatu, Mele Cascades had to have been the most well-known. Given this notoriety, it was only natural to see for ourselves whether this attention was…

The Lololima Waterfalls were lesser known than the famous Mele Cascades even though both were close to the main city of Port Vila. However, our experience at this waterfall was nothing short of fun…

Louniel Waterfall was really our waterfalling excuse to praise the Mt Yasur Volcano, which like the waterfall was also on Tanna Island. That said, it turned out that the falls itself was no slouch…

The Mount Hope Waterfall seemed to us to be the less strenuous alternative land excursion to the “must-do” Millennium Cave Tour on Espiritu Santo Island. Not only did this tour cost less and took…

The Millennium Cave Waterfalls were pretty much our waterfalling excuse to do what was arguably the best land excursion on the beautiful Espiritu Santo Island. In addition to going through a very…

And on the ridge we traversed to get up to the final climb, Frederick pointed out the fresh new rocks that had landed on the very ridge we were walking just this past Monday…

Becky Falls was really our waterfalling excuse to talk about the myriad of attractions that we managed to experience in both Devon and Cornwall counties. As you can see from the photo…

The Brecon Beacons Four Falls Trail took me by surprise both with the amount of exertion need to visit all of the major waterfalls as well as with how scenic each of the falls were. I kind of…

The Dan yr Ogof Showcaves Waterfalls pertain to a few waterfalls that we just so happened to see during our visit to this cave system in the Brecon Beacons National Park. From our pre-trip research…

Sgwd Henrhyd (pronounced “SGOOD HEN-hrhud”; possibly meaning “Old Ford Cascade”) was said to be the tallest single-drop waterfall in South Wales at 90ft (27m), but we felt that wasn’t the main thing..

Melincourt Falls (Sgwd Rhyd Yr Hesg in Welsh) seemed to be one of the unsung waterfalls in an area of South Wales known as Waterfall Country. I suspect the reason why this falls wasn’t as well…

Mynach Falls (Rhaeadr Mynach in Welsh [pronounced “HRHYE-uh-dur MUH-nahkh”]) was an impressive series of waterfalls said to tumble over a cumulative drop of 90m. We did an down-and-up loop walk…

Pistyll Rhaeadr was a waterfall that quickly impressed us the moment we started to see parts of it as we approached it from the single-lane road leading to this quiet part of Wales that was quite…

Conwy Falls (Rhaeadr y Graig Lwyd in Welsh) was kind of a throw in waterfall that we hadn’t planned on visiting when we set up our itinerary for North Wales. However, when we just so happened to be…

Dolgoch Falls was really a series of three waterfalls all running fairly far apart from each other on the Nant Dol-goch. While the signs indicated the trail was said to be a modest one mile…

Aber Falls (Rhaeadr Fawr in Welsh) for some reason took me by surprise with its size when I finally had a chance to visit it in person. Based on my pre-trip research, I had mistakenly thought I was…

Swallow Falls (Rhaeadr Ewynnol in Welsh [I think pronounced “HRAYE-uh-dur ew-UHN-nol]) was definitely one of the more famous waterfalls we encountered while we were touring Wales. Not only did this…

When Julie returned to the car, she dropped me some bad news as we learned that there was a NATO Summit going on at exactly the two full days that we would be spending in Cardiff…

The Glencoe Waterfalls were my catch-all term for the handful of waterfalls that we happened to have noticed while we were driving through the scenic Glencoe Valley. We actually visited the valley…
