South Pacific Waterfalls: Your Ticket to Cooling Off in Paradise

Bora Bora as seen from the air



There's lots to say about the South Pacific and its waterfalls. Click on one of the following links to jump to the section you're interested in...

ABOUT THE FALLS

The South Pacific Waterfalls await those willing to leave the luxurious resorts for the tropical rainforests of the mountainous island interiors. Such excursions help you get the most out of paradise.

I tend to think these islands are about as close to the idea of "paradise" that you're going to get. I don't know about you, but when I think of the word "paradise" the first thing that comes to mind is some secluded tropical island with cool ocean breezes, blue skies, calm waters, and a tasty cocktail drink. And I can't think of any place more appropriate than the South Pacific.

Now while such images of luxury and relaxation also makes these places ideal honeymoon destinations, the waterfalls give you the excuse to explore and really get to know the land and its people.

Fortunately, tropical paradise means a wet climate (after all, something had to keep the place lush, green, and full of life, doesn't it?). And with that, watercourses make their way down the volcanic cliffs which rise from the sea to scrape the tropical skies. The result is refreshing waterfalls, which can cool you down or give you yet another reason to think of paradise.

So far, we've been to a handful of waterfalls in Tahiti (more formally known as French Polynesia) and Fiji. Since Julie loves this region, chances are high that we'll also visit other islands in addition to return visits to both Tahiti and Fiji...

SOUTH PACIFIC WATERFALLS

Below are the waterfalls that we have been to. Click on a region or a waterfall for more details about them.

Faarumai Waterfall (Vaimahutu Falls) Tahiti: More formally known as French Polynesia, this group of islands attracts honeymooners as well as the rich and famous. Among its islands is the enchanting Bora Bora with its calm turquoise lagoons that is the epitome of the idea of paradise. Also included in this country are the islands of Moorea, Tahiti, and the Marquesas Islands. These larger islands feature waterfalls for those wishing to get out of the resorts and experience what paradise is really like.

Biausevu Waterfall (Savu Na Mate Laya Falls) Fiji: This country features numerous isolated islands whose seclusion and peace attract honeymooners and holiday makers around the world. You'll also find some of the most genuinely friendly people here. However, there are larger islands such as Viti Levu and Taveuni which feature attractive waterfalls. A visit to these falls gives you a chance to see the real Fiji and interact with its locals.
