Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

If you are going on a hike into the jungles of the east coast from Taveuni you will get a high chance to see this rare purple land crab. They are along your hike next to the hiking trail. Beautiful colorful animals!

Photography Tips

Use a telezoom lens for a nice bokeh and try to shoot with an open aperture. Bring your ISO higher than normal. That's ok. You are in the jungle and it can be darker than normal wildlife photography.

Travel Information

To reach the parking slot you can book a taxi over your accommodation or rent your own car. It really depends on you and how long you want to explore the island. Sometimes other people want to go to that waterfall area as well so you can share a taxi.
