Hike, Rock Climb, and Swim
We suggest wearing some techamphibians or some vibrams or just an old pair of shoes you don't give a crap about. The upper pool here is super deep, lower pool only about 5 feet. You can slide the waterfall just be careful not to hit your head. Bring a good amount of water since the first half of the hike is in the sun. Be safe and enjoy yourselves.
There's also some higher jumping spots if you're prepared to do a little rock climbing.
