概要

クイックファクト: Crystal-clear blue pools ripple alongside roaring waterfalls in a picturesque valley backed by the rugged Cuillin Mountains. The pools are fed by mountain streams and have icy-cold water that never gets too warm, even in summer.

見どころ: One of the pools, known as the 'Big Pool', reaches depths where adventurous swimmers love to jump from cliffs up to 7 feet high into the cold water below. The vibrant turquoise color of the water contrasts strikingly with the dark volcanic rocks and surrounding greenery, creating an almost magical scene.

Bring a swimsuit and towel if you’re brave enough to take a dip in chilly waters.
Capture photos from the small wooden bridge for a perfect waterfall backdrop.
Avoid weekends and mid-day times to escape the largest crowds.
