Skip
High flow or slick rock makes the corridor feel wrong
You need a guarded beach or easy guaranteed water entry
Posted rules or access conditions make the stop unclear
Before you go
- Use the parking pin as the arrival point and confirm signs on site.
- Treat this as a waterfall stop first, not a guaranteed swim spot.
- Check footing, current, and exit options before approaching the water.
- Leave narrow roads, gates, and pull-offs clear for others.
- Status in the source is 'Additional waterfall, access restricted', but still re-check conditions on arrival.
