Quick answerThe waterfalls are open year round. The driest and most comfortable months run from December to April. Arrive early between 8 and 10 in the morning for lower water flow, fewer crowds and cooler temperatures during the climb.

Dry season versus rainy season

December to April brings the calmest water and the clearest skies, ideal for first timers. The wetter months from May to November can raise water levels, which makes the jumps more exciting but also means the park may close higher sections after heavy rain for safety.

Best time of day

Early morning is best. Groups arriving after lunch face stronger sun on the trail and busier pools. Starting around opening also leaves room to enjoy all 27 levels without rushing the descent.
