Najbolje vrijeme za posjet

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 razine, što ga čini jednim od najviših vodopada na otoku. Prijeći ćete devet mostova i slijediti rijeku Fautaua kroz bujne doline kako biste stigli do bazena u podnožju.

Istaknuto: Posljednja kaskada grmi u prirodni amfiteatar od crne vulkanske stijene, vlažeći zrak hladnom maglom koja stvara duge kada podnevno sunce probija kroz krošnje. Lokalno stanovništvo kaže da je bazen dovoljno dubok za kupanje čak i nakon sušnih tjedana, zahvaljujući podzemnim izvorima koji ga napajaju tijekom 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
