The waterfall is very clean , gate fee was #500 as at August 2022 , the road is extremely good , so irrespective of the mode of transportation you choose you will be fine , it's a 25minutes drive from Ikogosi , so I advise you add that to your list when going , there is no hiking to the waterfall really , but you gonna pant for the first 5 mins and be prepared to do some climbing .

Arinta Waterfall in one of the many wonders of nature in Nigeria. It is located in a quiet and serene village in Ekiti State. Arinta Waterfall may not be one of the most popular waterfalls in Nigeria but it is a beauty to behold. Arinta waterfall is another hidden treasure located in Ekiti State. It is one of the most underrated tourist attractions in Nigeria. It comes with a beautiful landscape, lush green vegetation, rugged hills, a flowing stream and a gigantic rock. This is nature at its finest.

It was nice,but the place was under construction,it was said that the place is now private,I thought it was good being private because government might not improved the quality of the place.As it is owned by a private sector,the owner will really improve the place in order to get money from and makes the place looks attractive to people to come to the place..
