Description
One of Tahiti’s jewels, with a dozen or so basins and waterfalls, each more beautiful than the last. The walk starts with a steady climb up an old track (20 min.), then plunges into the river through fern fields (20 min.). There’s plenty of swimming along the way. Each waterfall is crossed by a well-equipped passage, on the side of the valley, to go higher and higher! Part of the way back is a loop through the fields.
