- There are no washrooms, lockers or changing rooms at the base of the waterfall. So be sure to keep your belongings safe and dry.
- There is a washroom near the car parking area where you can change clothes.
- Taking good pictures from your camera can be a herculean task. The drizzle from the waterfall will keep your camera and lenses wet and you will struggle to get a perfect click. It’s recommended to carry a water resistant camera.
- Wear comfortable shoes or sandals that have a nice sole grip and avoid flip-flops while climbing down the steep steps.
- Don’t get too close to the waterfall since the current is very strong.
- Before heading back, have some coconut water and light snacks available at a small shop near the car parking area.
