About this experience
What's unique about this tour is the terrain we take, the waterfall can only be accessed via an ATV/4x4. Guests will traverse through the scenic rainforest and mountain trails in a secluded, natural area while riding on a brand new 2021 Honda Rancher ATV with experienced local guide leading the way.
It's like having a private waterfall where you can splash, swim, jump off the rocks and take photos.
