Once a local secret for skinny dipping, this place is nearly always busy now with backpackers and campervans, children and teenagers. If you are lucky enough to get the first small waterfall bathing spot to yourselves you can go au natural and still be relatively disguised around the white bubbles in the water. Most people we’ve stuck there don’t blink an eyelid even if they do see you naked bathing. It goes with the territory. If people are bashful they will head to the second waterfall. No big deal, everyone is happy. You’ll have a much more enjoyable experience if you skinny dip and no stinky wet toggs to have to deal with.
