3. Take a swim in the Devil's Pool
Although variable every year, this tour is normally from late August to early January. The Devils Pool is a natural pool that has been created during time by erosion, but what is unique about it is that there is a rock ledge on the lip of the falls, where the water is not very deep. You don’t have to be a swimmer to get into this pool. Just bring your swim suit and make sure you come from late August to early January, as that is when the water is perfect for a swim. The view is spectacular!
