Malaita Island

Waterfall sights in Malaita Island

  1. Kwaibala Waterfall

    If you need to refresh yourself, nothing can beat Kwaibala Waterfall, about 3km from the centre. Take a taxi to the Kwaibala River; from there, a 25 minutes' walk will bring you to the falls. Niagara-like thundering falls they ain't; expect modest cascades with a few pools where you can take a bracing dip.

    You'll need a guide to visit Kwaibala Waterfall, which is on private land and difficult to find. Contact Silas Diutee Malai (tel: 40389), a freelance guide. Make sure that kastom fees are included in the prices he quotes. He can also arrange cross-island treks and 'river drifting' on a tyre down the Fiu River.
