Kepirohi Waterfall
About This Museum
Kepirohi isn't a museum built by human hands, but a living one curated by the island itself, where water and rock tell ancient stories. For centuries, this powerful cascade has been a sacred site for the people of Pohnpei, woven into local legend and daily life. The main event is the waterfall itself, a thundering curtain of white water plunging nearly fifty feet into a serene, jade-green pool. Mist fills the air, cooling your skin as the relentless roar of the water drowns out all other sound, creating an atmosphere that feels both exhilarating and deeply spiritual.
Collection Highlights
The star exhibit is the waterfall's dramatic plunge over a massive basalt cliff face, framed by a lush amphitheater of tropical ferns and vegetation. Don't miss the vibrant orange and blue Fahn flowers that often dot the surrounding rocks, adding a splash of unexpected color to the scene.
Visitor Information
Getting there involves a short but adventurous walk from Tamworohi village; wear sturdy shoes you don't mind getting wet or muddy. The pool at the base is perfect for a refreshing swim—just be mindful of the powerful current directly under the falls.
Architecture & Building
This is nature's architecture at its most majestic: a colossal, moss-covered volcanic rock wall serving as the backdrop for the cascading water.
