A lot of people trying to get that perfect photo. You'll wait to climb as others document their trip. Be patient, or go really early. The climb is easier than it looks, but still need some strength. The stairs up and down are long, so take your time and enjoy the views.

The Buatong Waterfall, otherwise known as the sticky waterfall, is an incredible experience. The limestone is so easy to walk on despite the water rushing past your feet. I would recommend coming here at least an hour before closing because they are relatively strict about the time. There are plenty of great photo spots amongst the green scenery and clean water! I can imagine that it gets quite busy during the day so be prepared for a crowd. To enter you start at the top and walk down well maintained stairs to get to the bottom level (or you can stop early). Don't carry too much because you will likely get wet!

This is such a fun FREE activity, and so cool that nature can produce a pure natural waterpark!

It is not super hard to do, I saw some young kids doing it too with some help. Becarful, some of the darker parts of the rock are slippery. Just try to test your footing a bit if you're unsure.

I will say, you can and likely will get wet. I'd recommend bringing a change of clothes. You don't really need to wear waterproof shoes, going barefoot actually feels really cool walking up the waterfall. I would say there are some little points where you step on little rocks, so if you have really sensitive feet, maybe you'd like to wear waterproof shoes.

There are some cute picnic tables and benches perfect to bring your own lunch in such a gorgeous forest environment! There are a few restaurants but they can get quite busy, so bringing food is a good idea.

You can likely go from the bottom to the top in 45mins but you can take longer or go again.  The time also will be longer if there's a big crowd.

I had so much fun climbing these sticky waterfalls!

A really cute trip from the city. The area is really nice and the waterfalls are fun to walk up. It doesnt take very long but its a fun experience and if you have the time and its a sunny day I would recommend it! It feels very kid friendly.
Lots of stopping and wriggling around everyone trying to get their insta photos which can be frustrating for some people but I got a few pics myself (I wont lie) and it didn't take away from the experience I felt.

It's a  very nice and cool place. Climbing is available on the rocks in the fast flowing spring water. Visit of the place is free just need to sign a paper at the entrance. Very popular place for tourists so it's quite busy.
