#### Gaze up at the chutes of three glorious waterfalls in the forest, relax by the small lagoons and see an ocean blowhole.

Faarumai Waterfalls are among the most magnificent natural sites on the island of Tahiti. The three impressive chutes of water plunge into pools, surrounded by tropical vegetation and dramatic cliffs. Enjoy the hike past exotic plants to reach this watery wonderland near the village of Tiarei. 

Trek with your family through the dense thicket of chestnut trees and tropical vegetation. Cross the various rickety bridges and footpaths over streams to reach the waterfalls. Make sure to bring mosquito repellent to keep the bugs away. You will arrive first at Vaimahutu falls, which is so tall that it is difficult to capture in a single photo.

Continue walking along the forest trails for another 20 minutes to reach the other two falls, known as Haamarere Iti and the Haamarere Rahi. Snap photos of the two spectacular feats of nature, which stand side by side. You may see visitors in the water, feeling the vibrations of the falls. Be aware, however, that swimming in the waterfall basins was outlawed after a rock fell on a swimmer’s head.

Walk to the nearby Arahoho Blowhole, where waves from the ocean crash through a gap in the rocks, creating a spectacular burst. Relax on the black sand beach near the blowhole.

Note that the waterfalls have a continuous water source year-round, with denser flows in the wet season that runs from November to April. The waterfalls are open at all times to the public for free.

Faarumai Waterfalls are located near the village of Tiarei between Mahaena and Papenoo on the northern coast of Tahiti. Drive east for about 45 minutes from the capital city of Papeete to get here. See fascinating sights on the way, such as the Point Venus Lighthouse and the Black Sand Beach in Māhina. Leave your car in the designated parking lot for Faarumai Waterfalls.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (263 reviews)

Very clean and comfortable, esp the staff are very kind and helpful. We want to buy fresh tuna, she drive us to stores two times, unfortunately the fish sold out, and after work she bought the fish and sent to our room. She always did what she could to help us. We selected this hotel mainly due to the high score of customer feedback, they really did very well and we felt very warm and comfortable. Additional, the snorkeling in front of the hotel is super good.

Gorgeous, huge room. Great coffee service. Good (extra) soundproofing but some partying noise still got through until very late/early — not a problem for us. Very helpful staff.
