Easily one of the most beautiful waterfalls Ive ever seen. Easy walk, plenty of parking, and a great natural beauty to see.

Very nice, all three waterfalls can be reached again. Worth a visit if you can manage a short stopover.

If you are on Tahiti, you must see this! Beautiful short hike to the waterfall... super easy to find and the walk to the waterfall is out of a movie gorgeous! (Do bring insect repellent, once you get close to the falls, the bugs multiply by 1,000!Do not miss this "beauty in nature" experience, plus very easy to access. Google maps takes you right to it!

Nothing exciting. Two adjoining water falls, one has limited access. Local vendors nearby. Good view.

Simply breathtaking, but the history behind it all makes it even cooler. Our trip guide Fabrice was great in elaborating it all to us. Definitely a stop anyone should check out while in Tahiti!

The Faarumai waterfall is one of three waterfalls in the area, but they were doing construction on the other two waterfalls in 2018 when we came last and again in 2022, so we havent visited the other two waterfalls, just this Faarumai one. The place is well-kept and maintained to look great, sometimes theres local vendors who sell fruit there. There are beautiful spots in the forest and some bamboo too. A cute bridge and stream as well.

The first waterfall is gorgeous although there are a lot of mosquitoes. You are not supposed to swim in the pool. The second and third waterfall are still closed for construction and nobody seems to know when (if?they will be open again.

Stopped by this place and was a bit disappointed that they didnt allow vistors to get under the waterfall. I suspect the waterfall ground bed was too soft/muddy to traverse. So, just ended up taking a few pictures and leaving. Very beautifull maintaned and calming place. Best part was the starfruit trees along the short trail to the waterfall. You can hand pick the fruit for free. They were ripe and delicious!

If its on your way, worth checking out. No swimming is allowed and there were a fair bit of bugs in March.

Great place, accessible by car or walk, then you could walk the trail to the waterfalls. Good thing is that you can admire the waterfalls and beautiful nature from the place where you park.

Incredibly easy to reach by car + 300m easy walk. A great swim and nice to sit under massively high waterfall. A must stop in Tahiti.

The first waterfall, Vaimahuta, is stunning and only a few dozen meters from the free parking lot. Access to the two other waterfalls is currently closed for construction, with a sign saying that it will last a total of 10 months.

Easy hike to a lovely waterfall. There are definitely more impressive waterfalls to be seen in Tahiti, but this is arguably the most accessible.

New path made the walk very easy. So picturesque, but remember, swimming is unsafe here due to frequent rock falls.

worth a stop, its a quick walk from the parking lot to see the waterfall. There are supposed to be two others, but we couldnt hike up to them because they were working on the trail, so that was a bummer.

This was well worth the stop. A very tall and scenic waterfall with a pool below. The hike is super easy and is 5-10 minutes max, less if youre a fast walker.

I wish we could swim in the falls, but we did see a lot of rocks fall, so I understand why you can’t. It’s worth the short walk from the parking lot to see this waterfall. I wish the path was open to the others. But be prepared for lots of mosquitos here!

This place is amazing!! If theres a tour bus, it can get a bit crowded, but wait 10 mins and it will be gone. Great for pictures and drone footage.

Awesome. Free and easy to park. You can see all 3 waterfalls from your car as you approach (if you look carefully). Then it is a super easy 3 minute walk to the first waterfall and it is spectacular. Totally worth stopping in here. We spent about 20 minutes here.

This place is stunning. The main waterfall is amazing, you can see far up to the top. A beautiful perspective. It is an easy walk from the carpark. Insect repellent is a must, there are a lot of mosquitoes around the place.

The Polynesian story around the waterfall is sweet and the waterfall look good, but signs tell not to take a bath/swim there due to potential falling rocks. Only one waterfall can be visited. Better to visit after it rained a lot.

Beautiful waterfall. Easy trail and good parking. Worth the visit if you are driving around the island. Best part is probably just the scenery along the drive to get there

The trek to the waterfall, les 3 cascades was just as refreshing and amazing as the waterfall itself. There are actually three waterfalls, one of which flows heavier than the other two.

Beautiful! While the drive to the car park was a little sketchy with a couple of pitbulls fighting outside one of the houses, furtively once up at the falls outy was a much calmer place! A stunning waterfall cascades down the rockface like something out of Avatar. There are some nicely placed boulders that you can sit on to watch the falls and chill out. There are three paths you can take based on the amount of time you have. Well worth taking the time to check out this beautiful spot.

Beautiful uncrowded waterfall in a wonderful rain forest. If you are in Papeete, its a must do stop. There are some food options onsite (mostly coconut and other local fruits). Hike is very short (2 minutes after crossing the bridgeand its super easy to find. Time to spend there: around 10 minutes.Only 4 stars out of 5 because the trail to the other waterfalls is damaged and hasnt been repaired for a while.

The first waterfall is the biggest and most impressive. It is beautiful! There are several mosquitos around the waterfall so definitely wear bug spray - definitely worth the visit. The first waterfall is just up a short path and the whole area is beautiful. There is a cute bridge over a stream and there are many good places for photos.

Took a scooter to ride the island and stopped here. A perfect place for a picnic. The signs say dont go swiming. But I highly doubt they will toss you into the clink for wading into the balmy water. However the place is rocky so you would need under water shoes to try it. Wonderful little place to stop!

3 beautiful waterfalls after 2 and 10 mins walks.. The trail is currently closed due to a heavy rainfall in Jan 2017 that destroyed parts of the well prepared way. Flying bugs can be annoying, they even follow you in swarms. Enjoy star fruits right from the tree.
