Create an itinerary including Papapapaitai Falls
View one of the longest waterfalls in Samoa at Papapapaitai Falls. Visitors can't actually reach the falls--this grand cascade is only viewable from afar, at a viewpoint next to the road. However, on a sunny day, it's a beautiful sight even from a distance. If you visit the viewpoint after a rainfall, when the waterfall is at its strongest, you may even hear a distant thundering. See Papapapaitai Falls and all Apia has to offer by arranging your trip with our Apia road trip tool.

    Located about 30 mins drive from central Apia on the cross island rd. Well worth a stop on the way across the island.

    A lovely setting. Well worth the drive up here. The clouds rolled in and we took some stunning photos.

    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. 👍 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!
  • By Alex NEFF
    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.
