Needed lots of clues for that.
Looks like a fantastic place.

I think we may have been here before? I'll try the Upper Navua River on Viti Levu, Fiji.

There is only so much world I have been to. Upper Navua is correct.

Definitely had a Fiji look to it. Likewise eggs, I was thinking along similar lines the other day. We've been fortunate to do a reasonable amount of international travel. But for many thousands of kms getting somewhere the usual practicalities are that I generally only get to engage directly with a very small sample of what exists (those on major expeditions etc would have a different experience).

Let's stick with the water theme - again in North America recently:

I can't place it, but it looks a lot like Yellowstone NP.

It also reminds me of a location in Yellowstone but this one is in Canada.

Good logic but these falls are east of BC in a populated part of a major NP
