Swimming at the waterfalls
We were visiting on a weekend, so the first two waterfalls were exceptionally busy, full of local families with mats spread across the rocks, picnics laid out, and kids filling every inch of the water. These are also busier as they’re the ones that can be accessed by the golf buggies.
The local families looked to be having a brilliant time, but we continued on to the next tiers in the hope of finding a bit more space.
Waterfall 4 was the highlight for our boys, with two large boulders providing natural slides into the pool. Lifeguards are on duty but they didn’t look overly engaged: parents should stay close to the water and keep an eye on the kids. If they’re anything like ours, huge amounts of time and energy will be expended sliding into the water, swimming back to the exit point, climb over the boulders, and repeat.
Waterfall 3 was also great fun, where you can stand beneath the falling water and splash in the shallow pool.
The higher levels were less suited to swimming as the pools are shallower and slightly difficult to access in places. More a case of dipping your toes in and cooling down than having a long swim.
Do note there are fish in the pools and they’ll sometimes nibble your feet. It’s very gentle, more of a kiss than a bite, but if you keep moving they’ll take the hint and leave you alone.
