Located in South Kinangop, next to Sasamua dam is a wonderful forest trail that leads to a tall and beautiful waterfall where you can dip your feet in and swim too.
The hike is approximately 9km long and is mostly gentle except for when we go down to the waterfall. The descent to the waterfall is long and steep with several slippery sections and can take up to 40 minutes to get down to the river. This classifies the hike as moderate
The forest trail is quite open in places and passes through forest vegetation as well as bamboo thickets and across small streams. The hiking time is about 6-7 hours including time for swimming

Hello, thinking about this hike, when is departure from town and when you say bus is it big bus or coaster? And is there pick up on Waiyaki way?
Just want to be sure it’s comfortable
Looking to go back here again the waterfall is everything
Thanks
As you can see on the listing, it’s written as 5:45am
For the vehicle, this will entirely depend on the number of hikers we will have. The size will be known by Friday evening based on the number of confirmed hikers
Yes, we will have the option of pickups along Waiyaki way as long as it’s a proper stage that the vehicle can park
Looking forward to having you as well
