“The Circle Island Tour of Viti Levu” (Viti Levu Island, Fiji – December 28, 2005)

When I walked over to the bridge, it was clear there was a waterfall down there. The problem was that I wasn’t sure how to safely get down there. After a few minutes of looking around for a way…

Biausevu Waterfall

The Biausevu Waterfall (also known as Savu Na Mate Laya Falls) is a pretty 20m waterfall near the Biausevu village of southern Viti Levu. You can get to the trailhead of this…

Uru’s Waterfall

Uru’s Waterfall is an interesting roadside waterfall that the local villagers like to use as a swimming hole. It tumbles down multiple smaller tiers with pools at the base of…

Waisila Falls

Waisila Falls is a small 15m waterfall deep in the Colo-i-Suva Forest Park on the northern outskirts of the capital city of Suva. You can walk to it either from…

“High Tide? Or Low Tide?” (Namosi Highlands, Fiji – December 27, 2005)

For some reason, I kept thinking about dirty dishes when I laid my eyes on the liquid before me. But my sense of curiosity was every bit as strong as strong as well. Besides, everyone was looking…

Wainuta Falls

Wainuta Falls is a gorgeous 30m waterfall in the Luva Gorge. Seeing this waterfall requires a short 15-minute walk after kayaking in the Luva Gorge…

Other Luva Waterfalls

There are other Luva Waterfalls that you can see while touring the Luva Gorge in a Rivers Fiji excursion. Most of the falls photographed here were taken when we cruised the Navua River…

“A Boxing Day Adventure” (Abaca, Fiji – December 26, 2005)

As we started to leave the base of the Savu-i-One Waterfall, Julie started to notice that her left arm was starting to feel numb. We weren’t quite sure what had happened…

Savu-i-one Waterfall

The Savu-i-One Waterfall is the feature waterfall attraction of the remote Koroyanitu National Park in northern Viti Levu. To even get to the reserve, you’ll need to arrange…

Vereni Falls

Vereni Falls is a tall waterfall downstream from the larger Savu-i-One Waterfall in Koroyanitu National Park near Abaca Village. Unfortunately with this waterfall…

The Norwegian Language

One of the things that I learned when Julie and I turned our attention internationally to go waterfalling is that travel is all about building bridges between your own perception of the world and what actually happens in the real world…

Norway Highlights

Even though this is a waterfalls website, we recognize that there are many highlights from the island country of Iceland (both involving and not involving waterfalls). So we’ve come up with this page to pay homage to some of the highlights that we…

Norway Waterfalling Binge Itinerary – June 20, 2005 to July 9, 2005

This itinerary summarizes our trip in Norway, which was sort of a follow-up trip hot on the heels of our real eye-opener in New Zealand. This was one trip where I really wished we had more time because this was an extremely waterfall-centric trip…

Rovijokfossen

Rovijokfossen (I’ve also seen it spelled Rovvejokfossen and Ruvijokfossen) was the last waterfall we saw on our epic June-July 2005 trip to Norway. Also, it could very well be the waterfall that…

Malselvfossen

Malselvfossen (Målselvfossen; “MOHLS-elv-foss-un”) was a waterfall that Julie and I made a spontaneous stop for after noticing some signage as we were driving north along the E6 from Narvik towards…

Mollisfossen

Mollisfossen was perhaps our favorite of the waterfalls we had encountered north of the Arctic Cricle so far. It was said to have a total drop of 269m that started off with upper cascades…

Fosselvfossen

Fosselvfossen was a waterfall that Julie and I never even knew about until we just happened to notice it on a paper place mat in a cafe in Storslett as we were having a late lunch/dinner after…

“Ytre Isfossen”, “Indre Isfossen”, “Bafossen”, “Oksefossen”, and the Kafjorden Waterfalls

The Kafjorden Waterfalls page (more accurately spelled Kåfjorden in Norwegian or Gáivuotna in Sami) was a page where I’m attributing the waterfalls we’ve seen as we were driving the E6 highway…

“Du må snakke mer norsk!” (Northern Norway – July 6, 2005 to July 9, 2005)

By now, I was getting tired of driving. Just how much longer did we have to drive until we arrive at Storslett? Complicating the situation was that I badly needed a restroom break…

Sprutfossen

Sprutfossen was a bit of a disappointment to Julie and I. We originally thought that the detour into the Plurdal Valley (Plurdalen) where we’d find this waterfall would only take us about 30…
