Cascades de Faaone, Waterfalls in Faaone, French Polynesia
The Faaone Waterfalls form two distinct cascades reaching 10 meters in height, surrounded by mountains and dense vegetation on Tahiti's eastern coast.
The waterfalls played a vital role as freshwater sources for local inhabitants throughout generations, shaped by centuries of volcanic activity in the region.
The name Faaone translates to 'the place of moving water' in Polynesian language, reflecting the deep connection between local communities and water sources.
Visitors should wear hiking shoes and bring water supplies when exploring the trails, with early morning visits recommended to avoid afternoon heat.
The waterfall system includes multiple swimming spots located at 20-minute intervals along the hiking path, providing natural pools for refreshment.
