Bouma National Park is located on Taveuni Island, which is the third-largest island in Fiji. Fiji is located in the South Pacific Ocean northeast from Australia towards Hawaii. The national park area covers an area of 168 square miles (435 sq km). There is a mountain ridge that runs through the heart of the island with the highest summit occurring at Uluinggalau with a height of 4,072 feet (1,241 m). There are several endemic flora species that are only found in Fiji and because of the abundant plant life on the island, it is affectionately known as the garden island of Fiji. Fiji is known for islands, beaches and blue waters. However, Taveuni Island is complemented with rainforest and tropical vegetation.
