This amazing trail is just a short walk from the parking area. Intrepid explorers can venture down this jungle pathway until they reach the waterfall at the path’s end. Located in the middle of the rainforest, the falls and trail are just a short drive from the administrative office of Farino. It’s a beautiful ride that offers some of the most amazing views of the island’s west coast.

The more the 2- mile walk (3.6km round-trip) is an easy trek along a well-marked path. The path takes you deep into the rainforest and along the creek that flows from the bottom of the falls. It’s easy to spot a few of New Caledonia’s endemic bird species and lizards along the path.

Know Before You Go

The parking lot from where you begin the hike is located at Le Refuge de Farino (a campground with tent spaces and cabins). There are signs along the way from Farino pointing you in this direction.
