Beautiful falls! To have a really good experience of the place, allow 4 hours. We only had about 2 hours which was not enough. Too much to see. We had our backpacks with us and we did not see any lockers which was not convenient.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

We only had about 2 hours to spend so did not have much time to enjoy the area by hiking up to the falls or take a boat ride. Definitely need 4 hours and some place to drop your backpacks. Beautiful area!
