Fataua

If you are ever looking for a perilous adventure on Papeete.....hike Fataua. The trail is a few miles off the road and then aggressively climbs for another few hours. I believe it took us 1.5 hours to make it up to the lagoon that feeds the waterfall. You actually swim right up to the edge of the waterfall.....and hold on so the current doesn't pull you over the edge.





One false step up there and it will be your last. The trails literally are only about 2-3 feet wide.

The reward is truly amazing and awe inspiring.
