The Expedition

Overview

  • The iconic turquoise plunge pool
  • Two river crossings through the forest
  • Swimming at the base of the falls (season permitting)
  • Lunch at a riverside village home
  • Easiest trail in our collection — zero experience needed

That first glimpse of the turquoise pool through the trees is unreal. Life jackets, safety briefing, zero chaos — these folks run a tight ship.

Beautiful easy trek. Gets crowded by noon so LTA's early start is genius. Village lunch was simple and perfect.

My first trek ever and now I'm hooked. Omkar took care of everyone from a 10-year-old to a 58-year-old uncle. 10/10.
