Cascade de Tao (i.e. “Tao Waterfall” in French) was by far the most impressive waterfall in all of New Caledonia. I’ve read in the literature that it was the highest waterfall in the country…

Of all the waterfalls we’ve visited in Vanuatu, Mele Cascades had to have been the most well-known. Given this notoriety, it was only natural to see for ourselves whether this attention was…

The Lololima Waterfalls were lesser known than the famous Mele Cascades even though both were close to the main city of Port Vila. However, our experience at this waterfall was nothing short of fun…

Louniel Waterfall was really our waterfalling excuse to praise the Mt Yasur Volcano, which like the waterfall was also on Tanna Island. That said, it turned out that the falls itself was no slouch…

The Mount Hope Waterfall seemed to us to be the less strenuous alternative land excursion to the “must-do” Millennium Cave Tour on Espiritu Santo Island. Not only did this tour cost less and took…

The Millennium Cave Waterfalls were pretty much our waterfalling excuse to do what was arguably the best land excursion on the beautiful Espiritu Santo Island. In addition to going through a very…

“Vaioro Falls” is the other of two notable waterfalls decorating the mountains backing the town of Afareaitu on the southeast coast of Moorea Island. Like the “Putoa Falls”, I put quotes around the…

The Other Moorea Waterfalls besides the two main ones behind the town of Afareaitu are what I’m devoting this particular page for. For all intents and purposes, I’ve spotted the majority of these…

The Tahiti Iti Waterfalls page was my attempt at trying to capture and exhibit the numerous waterfalls we managed to encounter while visiting the smaller “dumbbell” of Tahiti Island (the part known…

The Haamaremare Iti and Haamaremare Rahi Waterfalls comprise the other two of the three Faarumai Waterfalls. These were essentially dual waterfalls almost falling side by side each other though…

Vaiharuru Falls was one of those look-but-don’t-touch waterfalls as it plunged dramatically at a distance from the main road. I’d have to say this is probably more for waterfall collectors…

Vaipahi Falls was more of those classic intimate small jungle waterfalls where it’s easy to relax, swim, and play here (though the mozzies can easily break that piece of mind). Tall hanging vines…

Cascade de Fachoda (or the Fautaua Waterfall since it’s in Fautaua Valley) has to be one of the more spectacular waterfalls I’ve been fortunate enough to sample in Tahiti. The reason why I say……

The Tahiti Nui Waterfalls page was my attempt at trying to capture and exhibit the other unnamed waterfalls we noticed on the larger “dumbbell” of Tahiti Island (the part known as Tahiti Nui or Big…

Wigmore’s Waterfall (or Papua Waterfall) is the lone waterfall attraction that we’re aware of throughout the Cook Islands. Actually, as you can see from the photo above…

Fairy Falls was a waterfall in the Waitakere Ranges that I deferred from our November-December 2004 trip to New Zealand as we had run out of time. So when we came back to New Zealand in…

Waiau Falls was a small (maybe 5-10m) but picturesque waterfall with a plunge pool that seemed to attract quite a few people here during our warm, sunny day visit to Whitianga in January…

Owharoa Falls was an attractive waterfall that had quite a bit of what Julie likes to say “character” to it. Not only did this waterfall possess a fair-sized drop at around 10-15m or so, but it…

Omaru Falls was a waterfall that snuck up on us. It all started during our first visit to New Zealand in November 2004 when we were driving from Whakapapa Village to Hamilton along the SH4…

Curtis Falls was a diminutive waterfall (we’re guessing it’s about 5-8m tall) that Julie and I had some extra time to explore while we were spending a couple nights in New Plymouth. We had a…
