Najboljši čas za obisk

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.

Nasveti za proračun

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 znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Slap pada približno 300 metrov v treh stopnjah, kar ga uvršča med najvišje slapove na otoku. Do bazena na dnu boste prečkali devet mostov in sledili reki Fautaua skozi bujne doline.

Poudarki: Zadnja kaskada grmi v naravni amfiteater iz črne vulkanske skale in zrak napolni s hladno meglico, ki ob poldnevnem soncu, ko prodre skozi krošnje, ustvarja mavrice. Domačini pravijo, da je bazen dovolj globok za plavanje tudi po suhih tednih, saj ga podzemni izviri napajajo skozi vse leto.

Notranji nasveti

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
