Interresting but easily managable by your own - Basicaly you pay for transportation bacause the hathery entrance is for free. If you are more than 1 person better to take Uber to safe money. The place is quite close to the city.

A waste of money. Deceiving advertising. - You pay 20 dollars just for transportation and even there they do not respect the timing. Everything you see is free it can be done on foot or in uber for a fraction of the price. They also use deceiving advertising. They mention that you can see salmon leaping at the waterfall and it’s not true. Tre ladder has been closed to prevent salmon from going up the waterfall.
