"For a rewarding day trip in Tahiti, I suggest hiking up to Faarumai Waterfalls from the northern village of Tiarei for a scenic break from the coast." - Caitlin Morton

"Hiking to Waterfalls Tahiti is home to some of the most beautiful hiking trails in Polynesia. Stops can include spectacular waterfalls and natural pools, panoramic views, grottos, archeological sites and lava tubes. A favorite hike is to the three Faarumai waterfalls. From the car park it is a quick scramble through a forest of chestnut trees to the first waterfall, Vaimahutu. Continue on for another 20 minutes or so to reach the other to falls Haamarere Iti and Haamarere Rahi, which are almost side-by-side. With hundreds of varieties of tropical trees, plants and flowers, Tahiti also has some of the world's most beautiful gardens. Visit the water gardens of Vaipahi to experience the abundant flora and waterfalls that flow directly into Lake Vaihiria."

It was an easy drive, easy to find. No cost to see, not crowded. Do use mosquito repellent. Enjoy the view

It was very cool. If you liked doing a lot of photos this is the place for you. There are a lot of beautiful flowers and the river is so calm that if sat next to it you may go to sleep of how calm it is. But the waterfall is very beautiful the water doesn’t fly in all detections how on other waterfalls

Very serene and beautiful. A narrow road off the highway gets you here, a short walk from the parking lot to the gorgeous falls.

Recommend a guide for this 45 minutes hike to the Āfareaitu Waterfall. Book with trip advisor: Moorea VIP Tours: 'Half-Day Guided Hike to Afareaitu Waterfall'. Beautiful wild jungle landscape, culminating in a lovely pool to swim in at the base of this waterfall. Afterwards, a wonderful tropical fruit snack in a stunning garden.

Very nice view of a large waterfall. But very uneven trail that requires FULL attention. Watched several people stumble and then I STILL caught my foot on uneven steps.

Nice walk and interesting legend of the falls. Take the time to walk up the longer trail to the 3rd falls. Definitely worth it.

Absolutely beautiful!! Plenty of parking. Locals have tables and selling their fruits, etc. The path to the falls is well maintained, gravel and rocks. There are wooden and rocky steps to navigate. May be a concern for those with mobility issues.

Gorgeous waterfall that is just a few minutes walk from the parking lot. There are a couple other waterfalls you can hike to, but they were closed the day we went.
