Robert Louis Stevenson Pool
The Robert Louis Stevenson Pool (or RLS Pool for short) was kind of an unexpected waterfalling surprise when Julie and I made a last-minute visit to the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum (or RLS Museum)..
Afu Aau Waterfall
The Afu Aau Waterfalls (or Afu Aau Falls as well as Afu-A-Au Waterfalls; also called Olemoe Falls) was an idyllic swimming hole on the southern coast of Savaii Island (or more accurately Savai’i)…
Mu Pagoa Waterfall
The Mu Pagoa Waterfall was kind of a locals waterfall as it didn’t seem to have any tourism infrastructure devoted to it. That said, the falls featured a wide drop of about 5m tall and perhaps…
Papaseea Sliding Rocks
The Papaseea Sliding Rocks (or Papase’ea Sliding Rocks) was a series of waterfalls on the Papase’ea Stream that seemed to be well known and popular given its proximity to the town of Apia…
Falefa Falls
Falefa Falls was another swimming hole type waterfall, which promised to offer relief from the stifling humidity of Samoa. While I’ve noticed in the literature that it was possible to view this…
Sauniatu Waterfall
The Sauniatu Waterfall (or Sauniatu Falls) was probably as off-the-beaten-track of a waterfall as we wound up visiting in Samoa. Compared to most of the waterfalls that we encountered on the…
Sopoaga Falls
Sopoaga Falls (I’ve also seen it called Sopo’aga Waterfall) was another roadside waterfall on the Samoan island of ‘Upolu. Similar with the Papapapaitai Falls, we didn’t need to exert ourselves…
Fuipisia Falls
Fuipisia Falls (or Fuipisia Waterfall) was actually a series of two impressive waterfalls on different streams. The first waterfall was partially concealed so viewing it was kind of awkward…
Togitogiga Waterfall
The Togitogiga Waterfall (or Togitogiga Falls) was an attractive dual-tiered waterfall that seemed like an ideal spot to cool off from the stifling humidity of a place like Samoa…
Papapapaitai Falls
Papapapaitai Falls (I’ve also seen it referred to as Papapapaitai Waterfall as well as Papapapai-tai Falls or Papapapai-Uta Falls) was probably the easiest of the Samoan waterfalls that we…
Angel Falls and Devils Slide
Angel Falls and Devils Slide were a pair of waterfalls on Willow Creek that spilled into the popular play areas on the north shore of Bass Lake. Of the two named waterfalls on Willow Creek…
Corlieu Falls and Red Rock Falls
Corlieu Falls and Red Rock Falls were a couple of waterfalls on Lewis Creek, which sat between the southern boundary of Yosemite National Park and Oakhurst. I looked upon these waterfalls as an…
Forsakar
The Forsakar Waterfall was the southernmost of the waterfalls that we encountered in Sweden, which alone kind of made it stand out to us as we didn’t expect any waterfalls this far south in the…
Danska Fall
Danska Fall (I’ve also seen it called Danska Fallen and Danska Fallet) turned out to be the last waterfall we visited on our epic 2019 Scandinavian Trip. It turned out to sit in one of Halland…
Gloppefossen
Gloppefossen was one of the highest permanent waterfalls (Reiårsfossen could be taller) in the Setesdal Valley with a cumulative drop of around 120m (or up to 140m if I include some of the cascades…
Laegdafossen and the Naeroyfjorden and Aurlandsfjorden Waterfalls
Laegdafossen (or more accurately Lægdafossen) was perhaps the most compelling waterfall that we encountered while doing the cruise between Flåm and Gudvangen. The falls had a cumulative drop of 580…
Bordalsgjelet
Bordalsgjelet (the “Bordal Gorge”; pronounced “BOR-dahls-yell-uh”) was what I consider to be kind of as close to an inside-the-gorge experience as I got in Norway. Typically, we explored such…
Sognefjell Waterfalls
The Sognefjell Waterfalls page is my waterfalling excuse to talk about the popular Sognefjellet National Tourist Route (Sognefjellsvegen) that cut right through the heart of Jotunheimen…
Sjurhaugfossen
Sjurhaugfossen was a roadside waterfall flowing on the Lærdalselvi River nestled deep in a gorge. According to the Norgeskart map, the falls could be as little as 5m tall or if you count…
Drivandefossen
Drivandefossen (also called Krekafossen on Norgeskart) was one of those overlooked waterfalls that we happened to miss when we first stayed in Skjolden back on our first trip to Norway in 2005…
