    If there was a way to hike down to this place, I'd do it. Nevertheless, it is beautiful to look at. Very picturesque and stunning. ๐Ÿ‘ The sheer height of the falls is intimidating. To get there, you have to be on the look out for it or else you'll miss it!

    Right on the road, there's no reason to not stop by and take a look. It's a big, impressive waterfall in the middle of the jungle. The two pools at the bottom of the falls look inviting but are difficult to visit, you'll need to talk to various locals about how to find the trail down and expect a not so well cut path.

    A nice stop while crossing the island, it's on the side of the road so no walk required. Low cloud was coming through the day we stopped so a bit hard to see. Take your rubbish with you people, don't be litter bugs, like some that have been before.

    This is a beautiful waterfall, though 4 stars because you can only see it from a distance. This is a scenic overlook off the main road.

    Stunning view! One of the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever been to, definitely worth the stop. The lookout is right on the side of the road so careful not to miss out. Also we did not have to pay any fees to see the waterfall.

    Nice waterfall. Can be covered in clouds and as it's just by the side road it can easily be missed. Great to fly a drone.

    Viewing point was rather far away from falls but still a majestic sight. Viewing point is just off main road so no $ to see it.

    It's free not like other waterfalls where you have to pay just to look. Close to town but might be difficult to see the small new sign on the main road. Unfortunately there is alot of rubbish being thrown down the mountain. I hung up a recycled tyre sign to try & encourage people to keep place clean but someone stole that.

    Overgrown viewpoint, can't get a clear view. Pics better mid-day onwards for the sun on the falls.

    Nice to have a free thing to do, compared with the constant 20T entrance fees for everything. Pretty much on the roadside, big potholes. You can look at the waterfall over on the other side of the valley but you can't get close. Good place to stop and stretch your legs, just don't expect too much.

    Cloud, cloud, cloud. No view. -- After trying three times, the third was a charm. Beautiful and high fall.

    Magnificent falls! Can only watch it from faraway but itโ€™s beautiful! Even better with the sun out (it was cloudy) Only thing to watch out is the dog poop around.

    Papapapaitai (it is as fun to say in a sentence as it looks) is one of the tallest waterfalls in Samoa. The viewpoint is freely accessible off the cross island road and has its on carpark. You cannot get close to the waterfall as shown in the pictures.

    Free falls! This is 100 time better than some other falls. It gets quite foggy (smokey) so drive safe!

  • 5/5 Ben ๏ฟฝ. 9 months ago on Google
    Easy to park and you're right next to the viewing area.

  • 5/5 Fai M. 5 months ago on Google
    Breath taking if only we can travel closer to the waterfall.

  • 5/5 Franziska 5 months ago on Google
    A really nice and big waterfall that can be viewed just by making a pit stop at the road!
