I stopped by this place to ask for directions when my data / Google maps stopped working, and found the people working the booth super friendly. I decided to return today to see the falls and was met by an equally friendly person.
The grounds had plants / trees with names in Samoan and English and the viewing platform is ideally designed to see a lovely view of the falls and the incredibly lush surrounds. It’s true that you can’t swim and so do not perhaps spend much time there, but I still enjoyed sitting on the benches absorbed in the mood (rain, unfortunately, though still atmospheric) and views.
I paid 10 tala cash. There is an honesty box for if the booth is unstaffed. There are toilets available.
Thank you for...

Our first introduction to paying to see waterfalls in Samoa. Always happy to donate to the economy.
When we parked a lady over the fence said there was a fee, at first we didn't know if that was right but sure enough at the entrance way it stated there was a fee and if no one was manning the booth an honesty box was there.
We gave our tala to the lady as had a conversation with her about the falls and local keke saga biscuits. Lol. She seemed very entrepreneurial with her location beside the car park.
The waterfalls was a very short walk and had an area to sit down and look at them. There were also toilets but they weren't very nice....

Stunning gardens and waterfall view. I especially loved how the plants were labeled and how eager the owner was to show us taro/cava amongst other things they grow.
The owner also took the time to show us the traditional way to make both coconut cream and how to make a basket from the coconut fronds. An amazing experience that she seemed to love to share as much as we loved to learn.
10 tala is too cheap for this...
