Vaimahutu Falls
Vaimahutu Falls is one of three Faarumai Waterfalls in the northeast part of Tahiti Nui. There are many ways to visit this waterfall and it's a trade-off between being on your own, cost, and time. The most prevalent options that I'm aware of are going on a tour, hiring a car, and using the public transport. Julie and I attempted the last option, which we managed to do successfully but not without a little bit of drama as Tahiti isn't really geared for tourists to go out on their own without some form of tourism monetization. You can see a more full view of the falls and get a sense of its magnitude from the road approaching its car park. From the base, you only see the main tier. Also, I believe this waterfall flows year round as we showed up late in the dry season. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
