    Stunning scenery! Never seen so many waterfalls in one place and the water is more clear than anything you've seen. Our tour guide Karlo, showed humour and was contablctable throughout should we have got lost (which we did and was able to receive guidance from WhatsApp).

    The trip was well organised. The shop/cafe stop before arriving at the national park is a great opportunity to buy strudel, sausage rolls etc and even at the park there are sandwiches and burgers so food and drink isn't a problem. Our guide was very knowledgeable and he updated us during the whole trip. We took the 8km route and don't regret it. So pretty.

  • Wow what a great park
