This circuit walk start from the front of the car park, ascending a hill before dropping to cross the Upper Pool above the falls, where you can swim. It then climbs up the other side of the falls before descending to the level of the main pool, where there is a river crossing.
Wet season conditions can limit access, reducing the walk to a return trip to the first lookout and top pool.
