Najbolje vrijeme za posjetu

Early morning, before the heat peaks and trail traffic picks up. After heavy rain the flow swells dramatically, so a day or two following a storm gives the fullest show.

Savjeti za budžet

Entry is free, but a local guide costs around 2,000-3,000 XPF per person and is strongly recommended for the trickier upper sections. Bring your own water and snacks since nothing is sold along the trail, and a small tip for a registered guide is customary.

O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Vodopad se spušta otprilike 300 metara u tri nivoa, što ga čini jednim od najviših vodopada na ostrvu. Prijeći ćete devet mostova i pratiti rijeku Fautaua kroz bujne dolinske zidove da biste stigli do bazena u podnožju.

Istaknuto: Posljednja kaskada grmi u prirodni amfiteatar od crnog vulkanskog kamena, vlažeći zrak hladnom maglom koja stvara dugine boje kada podnevno sunce probije kroz krošnje. Lokalno stanovništvo kaže da je bazen dovoljno dubok za plivanje čak i nakon sušnih sedmica, zahvaljujući podzemnim izvorima koji ga pune tokom cijele godine.

Insajderski savjeti

Wear sturdy hiking sandals or trail shoes with grip, since several rocky crossings get slick with moss
Stop at the second bridge for the widest view of all three tiers in a single frame
Skip the last scramble if the river is running high, the pool area floods quickly after storms
Start before 8 a.m. to beat the tour groups that arrive mid-morning
