Wigmore's Waterfall — Attraction in Takitumu

Wigmore’s Waterfall – A Hidden Gem on Rarotonga Just a short drive or an easy 15-minute walk from the main road, Wigmore’s Waterfall is a refreshing and peaceful spot well worth a visit. The entrance is conveniently located near the abandoned Sheraton site, and the waterfall itself resembles a small family swimming pool, with clean, pristine water and depths of up to 10–12 feet in the deeper sections.

Access is straightforward — a two-wheel drive car can make the trip easily if you take it slow. After heavy rain, the road can get a bit rough, but it’s generally well-surfaced and manageable. As you head anticlockwise around the island, keep an eye out for a small booth on the left-hand side. This is where you’ll need to pay a small entry fee: $2 NZD per person on foot or $5 NZD per car.

It’s a great stop if you’re looking for something different and relaxing during your stay. The cool, clear water and quiet surroundings make it a perfect break...

My wife and me wanted to enjoy the day at the waterfall. We went by walk and at the entrance a guy was telling us something I could not understand. Probably that now he introduced a fee for people walking as well and we were supposed to pay. I asked him to repeat what he said please and he instantly got incredibly unfriendly, started insulting me in front of my wife, to leave the place and to "go and f**k myself". I have absolutely no idea what was wrong with him but I can just strongly discourage anyone to do to this place unless you want to take your chances of getting randomly insulted during...
