Firstly, I haven't found clear dates on when it is safe to do it (just low water level somewhere from Sept to Jan).
Secondly, What is actually involved in getting to and from the pools?
Thirdly, any figures on reported deaths?
Best Answer
The reason the dates vary is because high water season varies. Guides won't take people when the water levels are too high, because they have to take it too.
There's a really good blog post on this which details:
- the steps involved getting there (boat ride, pics of the rocky walk, and the jump you need to do to get in
- tips on how to manage it (any girls you are with you may wish to warn about the effects of the strong current on their items of clothing...
- several fantastic photos describing the entire process
- It's probably necessarily to be able to swim.
