The Water Gardens of Vaipahi

TAHITI, The spectacular WATERFALLS of VAIPAHI ???? (French Polynesia, Pacific Ocean)

SUBSCRIBE: - Here's a quick look of the spectacular Vaipahi waterfalls in beautiful Tahiti. These waterfalls can be found after a short walk in the Jardin Public Vaipahi (i.e. Vaipahi Public Garden in French). The Garden is located about 30 kilometers outside of Pape'ete, the capital of Tahiti driving towards the counterclockwise direction and I visited the gardens after a heavy rainstorm, thus the waterflow was at the highest volume as you can see here...
Tahiti is the largest island in French Polynesia, the South Pacific archipelago. Shaped like a figure-8, it's divided into Tahiti Nui (the larger, western section) and Tahiti Iti (the eastern peninsula). With black-sand beaches, lagoons, waterfalls and 2 extinct volcanoes, it's a popular vacation destination. Explored by Captain James Cook in the 18th century, it was also often painted by French artist Paul Gauguin.

Tahiti Road Trip -Vaipahi Gardens - Belvedere De Taralaol (lookout)

The Vaipahi Gardens located along Tahiti’s south coast in the district of Mataiea 49 km (30 miles) from Papeete are rich in cultural heritage and abundant in natural beauty.
There over 75 different species of vegetation, all kept fresh by water from lake Vaihiria in the center of the island, Tahiti’s only fresh water lake.
There are three walks available. One of the walks takes visitors along marked paths next to the river. Along the way are archeological sites steeped in history, as well as shaded areas created by pine trees that adorn the forest, a rather surprising sight on the island of Tahiti. This walk ends at a plateau with overhangings cliffs and a spectacular view of the entire park encompassing the Vaipahi gardens and the varying shades of blue in the lagoon and ocean, framed by the sunny shores of the main island.

it’s worth taking the one other road on the island which climbs up onto a large, central plateau (from Taravao), eventually arriving a panoramic lookout – the Belvédère de Taravao.
