Visitor Tips

Most visitors arrive via organized rafting tours. If you go independently, arrive early to explore the Oluk Bridge before the tour buses. Wear sturdy water shoes and bring a change of clothes—you will definitely get wet. The mountain water is icy cold even in mid-summer, providing the ultimate refresh.
