This is great fun - beautiful crystal clear waterfalls with a great pool like area at the bottom. We couldn't go all the way up as the kids were a bit small but loved it anyway

Do not miss this one, the waterfalls and atmosphere are all spectacular, do not forget your swimmers oh and some reef shoes would work well to. Memorable and breathtaking

Okay, this is the best that Port Vila has to offer on land other than it's beautiful beaches. The waterfall is wonderful. If you have any injuries this is not for you as to enjoy it you will be walking barefoot through the water streams. You definately should wear shorts or get your swimmers.

Fantastic and well with the walk. Being able to walk right into the falls, not look at it from a platform. Make sure you take some sandals that can get wet. The rocks can be a bit slippery and a bit sharp. Price is now 2000VT per person but well worth it

We baulked at the 20 dollar entry fee, but once we trekked through the rainforest to the base of the waterfall and swam in the aqua marine pools under the waterfall, the entry fee was inconsequential-what a blast. Swim in behind the left side and there's a cave where you can see the world from a different perspective. P.S. Don't... More

The falls are worth a trip. Your cab driver will stay and wait for you to come back. He will also drive you around the rest of the island. This is a great option for a full day trip. Ask to go to blue lagoon.

The biggest and closest waterfall I have ever seen! We paid about 2000 vt or $20 AUD and it was the most expensive of all the sites but it was worth it! The walk up to the fall is about 20 mins. It starts with passing by a cafe/bar and alongside are small little streaming cascaded pools (this would have... More

Just a short drive from Port Villa this place is a must see. it's a bit of a walk to get to the main waterfall but the place is so beautiful you probably wouldn't mind the walk at all. If you decide to wear closed in shoes, be prepared to take them off because you will have to walk through... More

This place is simply beautiful, the walk to the waterfall is amazing. If you can only visit one place in Vanuatu this is the place to visit. A tip would to bing a bag, with a towel and swimmers as the swimming holes are some of the best around. And shoes that you can get wet as in parts of... More
