Before we went into the forest, we we had a sensational breakfast of egg hoppers in the nearby cafe. A few hours is not obviously enough to fully enjoy the magnificence of this forest, but from our short time there, it was a memorable experience from the first step to the last. We saw so many fascinating species of animals and plants, and 5 majestic waterfalls. Definitely worth it! Will book it again in a heartbeat.”
