Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

WST20 each for my daughter & I which was a lot for the five minute walk & view. The waterfall was impressive though & beautiful planting along the path. Can't stop thinking about their incredibly skinny dog with all its ribs showing! So sad!!

This is a beautiful waterfall to visit and look at. We did pay $20WST per person which was over the top to go and have a look for 3 people. The waterfall was flowing very fast and strong from the recent cyclone and it would have been incredibly dangerous to even think of swimming at the top. We pushed through the jungle to get a little way up so we could sit on the edge of the water. There is a small sitting area and fale to view the waterfall.

The waterfalls and immediate surroundings are beautiful, but the path there is very wet and not well cared for. We were charged $20 Tala each, which was twice the price I paid for my previous visit, and 4 times the price of the Sopoaga Falls (which is better maintained). I know it's not a lot of money to be overcharged and to be fair, it looks like the family need it, but it was unexpected and would be nice to see more effort made with the track.

Fuipisia waterfall was really beautiful to see, my friend and I went the day after it was pouring rain and the waterfall was amazing to see in full force! Fuipisia waterfall was on private land so we parked at the family’s house, it was about a 3 min walk to see it and the path was a bit muddy so beware! And if you want to stand at the edge of the waterfall you continue following the path and the path was even muddier but it was so cool and amazing standing so close to it! It cost us 20 tala each and it was well worth it!!

Lovely hike toward the falls. The falls are located on family land - wonderful family. They charged 20 tala person. It was worth the price to me. Short walk to the first water fall, then just a little farther down the path was the Fuipisia Waterfall, up close and personal! Stunning. I was nervous to take my family up the stream up water so was watched from land, but if you're extra brave and traveling without children you can wonder up a ways and swim in the fresh water.

The falls are good. Most of all I want to leave a review regarding Le Vasa Resort in Samoa but can't see how. It was great - very friendly staff, really good and affordable food but best of all is that it only has about 12 fales, so was very relaxing, nice pool, kayaks and snorkelling gear were in good order

This is no doubt a beautiful waterfall. And it is special because you can stand on it's edge and look down 30 or so meters.
But our experience was greatly dulled by the land owner who came with us to the waterfall to show us the way. His offer to hold us while looking over the edge really was an excuse to embrace and inappropriately touch each of us. I would not recommend single female travelers to visit this waterfall, especially because it is a couple hundred meters far away from house and road and you cannot be heard or seen.
On top of it all the land owner asked for SAT 10 each, which is, when you compare it to an attraction like the amazing Palolo Deep Marine Reserve, more than double the price.

After reading many reviews online we opted to visit the Fuipisia Waterfall over it's more well-known cousins.
We weren't disappointed, the track, while very muddy (jandals/flip-flops will be pointless), is very well maintained. The $10 tala entry per person seemed fair for the view, and the host even gave us some fallen fruit to try when we asked what it was.
You get very close to the top of these falls, which have a dramatic height and are very picturesque. You can follow a short but rough track to the pools above the falls, while other reviews have said you can swim here, we were happier just paddling our feet.
Would recommend this as well worth the visit, if you have some sturdy footwear (Reef shoes would be fine, even bare feet if yours are sturdy enough)

I have spent months in Samoa over the last few years. It pains me to write such a negative review, bc I very much support enterprising people, particularly in developing countries. I visited in July. The path in was so wet that I had mud literally in my hair when I returned to my car. The waterfall is great, but no better than others in this beautiful country. The people are not like most Samoan people. They seem most interested in getting your money. I paid 20T, as did the other two people who arrived at the same time. We all thought it was a complete rip off. 60T is a LOT of money in this country - and a complete rip off. Unfortunately for the owners, the internet will put a stop to their scam unless they change their ways.

We loved the waterfall.
We didn't enjoy being conned by the guy at the entry to pay $20 tala each when we knew that the 'normal' price is $10. We didn't want to kick up a fuss so paid it anyway. We were told we could swim there. There is no way we would have swam unless we wanted to have ended up being swept down a waterfall.
The guy was hiding in his house when he left. Won't be back. Much nicer waterfalls to go to and pay money too.
