Choosing Your Experience: Hiking or Riding Inside the Park
There are two ways to reach the falls:
- The Hiking Option: For the adventurer at heart, a 5-kilometer hike will lead you to the falls. While it’s a rewarding experience, the open trail lacks shade, making it a more challenging journey under the sun.
- The Wagon Ride: Perfect for families, couples, and anyone seeking a more relaxed journey. This comfortable ride brings you close to the falls while offering scenic forest views.
We recommend the wagon ride for a fun, stress-free experience that gives you plenty of energy to enjoy the waterfalls.
