What to expect
You'll cover substantial ground in a minibus, stopping every 90 minutes or so to swim or walk. Each waterfall and gorge has its own character—some are deep and cool, others shallow and warm. Walks range from fifteen-minute strolls to longer hikes through humid forest. The pace suits all fitness levels; guides adjust stops based on the group. Expect to get wet multiple times, and bring a towel. The park can be busy on peak days, but the area is large enough to find quieter corners.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen, hat, and water shoes for rock pools. Mobile coverage is patchy. The park is best visited May to September (dry season); wet season brings flooding and leeches. Wheelchair access available at some main lookouts and swimming areas.
