Create an itinerary including Faarumai Waterfalls
Witness the rush of water at Faarumai Waterfalls, a picturesque waterfall located in the dense rainforest. Easily accessible by car or bicycle, a parking lot sits just a short walk from the waterfall itself. The falls cut through the volcanic rock and cascade into a pool, surrounded by magnificent trees, shrubs, and wildlife. Enjoy a picnic on the rocks surrounding the falls, or hike out into the wilderness to gain another perspective on the scenic and photogenic spot. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes, as the rocks surrounding the pool are slippery when wet. Take the guesswork out of planning a Arue vacation by using our trip itinerary maker.

  • The waterfalls here are fantastic, the largest is a short hike from the parking lot while 2 others are about 15 minute hike away. All are worth it and it was free to visit.

  • We stopped as part of a tour with unique Tahiti. Faatimai Waterfalls was absolutely astonishing. It was just like all those tropical island calendars with their picturesque waterfall photos. Too bad.....  more

  • As others have mentioned, the trail to the 2nd and 3rd falls is closed (July 2022), but it's still worth the visit. The falls are amazing. Definitely apply bug spray before heading up the trail...

  • An easy walk/hike with a big reward! Ample parking and very few crowds when we visited on a weekday afternoon. Signage off the main road makes getting here simple! Almost wheelchair accessible despite a few short steps on a bridge over the creek. Tons of foliage and flowers, bamboo forest, and a couple foot paths to explore here. Photos do not do this place justice. Highly recommend!
  • Very easy access to three waterfalls. Only a lot of stairs. But beautiful waterfalls. If you don't want to hike for hours this is the place. If you are a hiker, this is too easy, and I wouldn't even call it a hike, more just at tourist place.
  • 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 haven't visited the other two waterfalls, just this Faarumai one. The place is well-kept and maintained to look great, sometimes there's local vendors who sell fruit there. There are beautiful spots in the forest and some bamboo too. A cute bridge and stream as well.
  • Very easy hike, we really enjoyed it. We came in the evening (around 5.30PM), there weren’t many people. I would definitely recommend it to everyone who visits Tahiti.
  • 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!
