Introduction

This activity is simply rappelling the dramatic waterfall seen from the main road.

Approach

From the parking location, hike about 5 min down the hillside through the banana plants.

If you don't have a 4wd vehicle, park at the Park Alt location and hike up the road, about 15 more minutes. If you don't have a shuttle vehicle, you'll have to walk this road anyway.

Descent

The waterfall is broken into a 4 stage rappel, with the 4th and final drop being free-hanging and around 50-60m in height.

The four drops are something similar to: 20m, 30m, 35m, 60m.

Exit

Hike for a few minutes back out to the road. If you don't have a shuttle vehicle, it's about 1km walk back to the starting point.
