You should bring a swimsuit and a towel with you on the Afareaitu Waterfalls hike if you want to take a dip in the refreshing waters. Wear closed-toe shoes for the hike as well as weather-appropriate clothing—rain gear or a sun hat, depending on the season.

The best way to get to the Afareaitu Waterfalls is by joining a tour that includes transportation from your hotel. You can also rent a car or a scooter and drive. It's about a 10–15-minute drive from the Moorea ferry terminal via the Route de l'Opunohu. A parking fee applies, so carry cash.

It takes 1–2 hours to hike to the Afareaitu Waterfalls and back, depending on your starting point. The trail to the Vaioro Waterfall is the easier of the two and is about one mile (1.6 kilometers) long. The Putoa Waterfall hike is a 2-mile (3.2-kilometer) round trip from the trailhead.

Yes, you can swim at the Afareaitu Waterfalls, but it's best to avoid doing so if you come during periods of heavy rain—hiking to the falls isn't that safe in such conditions, either. It's also safer to avoid going directly under the falls to avoid falling rocks and debris.
