About
Краткие факты: A string of turquoise plunge pools spills down limestone steps into cool, crystal-clear basins, perfect for wading or cliff-side jumps. Adventurers often add a canyoneering route upstream, turning a simple swim into a full-day climb, scramble, and river trek.
Основные моменты: Sunlight hitting the water at noon makes the pools flash an almost unreal turquoise, so bright you can see white sand and fish below as you float. The lower falls are arranged in three main tiers, so you can hop between cool basins that vary from waist-deep to shoulder-deep, a playful maze of natural swimming holes.
Insider tips
- Wear quick-dry clothes and sturdy water shoes with good grip for slippery limestone and river walking.
- Arrive by 8:00 AM on weekdays to beat the busiest crowds and enjoy cleaner water for photos.
- Bring a waterproof phone pouch or small dry bag for valuables, many best photo spots require wading in chest-deep water.
- Skip the large restaurant at the main carpark, buy snacks from local stalls or pack a picnic to save money.
