Overview
Activity details
There is talk about Gunlom reopening in May 2025
You must call us directly to pencil this in at our end. We won't charge you anything till we get full confirmation it is open. So then you can consider canceling for free (minus a small booking fee to hold your seats) or we can rebook you to our Motorcar Falls / Boulder Creek Tour, which is in the same area but a lot more walking.
Once open, there is an 80mt high waterfall at the lower Plunge pool, great for the elderly and kids, as the white beach slowly goes from ankle deep to very deep. For the fit, you will have to climb a lot of stairs to get to the top pools, with an infinity pool that everybody talks about.
