5.00Very muddy in some parts and a few water crossings, so expect to get wet and muddy. The waterfall is worth it alone but the scenery and birds were just as beautiful. Our guide was a hoot and did a great job making sure everyone stayed safe and with the group.
Muddy good time!

5.00Our guide was awesome, he was so informative, fun, kind. He even gave us walking sticks to use that were so useful because it was muddy and slippery in many spots. No one else we saw on the trail had them.

5.00The experience was amazing but our guide Mikayla made it the best… it rained heavily the whole night before so we weren’t able to hike to the Falls… she made the trip fun and was very knowledgeable and friendly!
