A very nice break from the beach, but in February it's not that spectacular, but it's worth it, we saw big monkeys, you just have to be quiet 😉

It is a 45-minute walk from the campsite to the waterfall. When the tide is high you have to climb over some stones if you want to keep your feet dry. We walked back to Adang resort, which is only 20 minutes, and from here we took a taxi boat back.
