点评:Second trip to this beautiful spot and this time with friends. It is along hike and in the warmer weather (it was a scorcher the day I went) be prepared to eat a few flies on the way up. It is a long hike of about an hour but nothing to strenuous. Keep to the path and all be well.
The river itself is shallow and though fast flowing not too strong. You can lie down or just sit in the deeper sections.
Changing facilities are just a couple of wooden 'walls' in a cross formation and so no reel privacy. If you're not too prudish then no problem, if it is then bring a big towel for modesty when changing.
Most people behave themselves though again it is the tourists that tend to be the loudest and most 'disruptive'.
As for the carpark, you pay (small machine on the wall ofthe coffee house) when you have finished your hike but you get a 10 minute grace period from paying to actually leaving the carpark.
The coffee house closes about 5pm so if you want a coffee at the end of the hike bear this in mind.
As sensible as this sounds dont go dipping your hand into some of the small streams at the beginning of the hike (near the steam vents) unless you want your fingers par boiled.
Oh and if you have river shoes, bring those as the stones can be a little uncomfortable underfoot in the river.
翻译:第二次来到这个美丽的地方,这次和朋友们一起。徒步路线很长,天气暖和的时候(我去的那天非常炎热),准备好在上山途中吃几只苍蝇吧。徒步大约需要一个小时,但不算太费力。沿着小路走就好。
河水很浅,虽然水流湍急,但水压也不算太强。你可以在水深的地方躺下或坐着。
更衣室只是几堵十字形的木墙,所以没有什么隐私。如果你不是太拘谨,那就没问题;如果太拘谨,换衣服时带条大毛巾遮羞。
大多数人都规矩点,但游客往往是最吵闹、最“扰民”的。
至于停车场,徒步结束后,你需要用咖啡馆墙上的小机器付款,但从付款到离开停车场有10分钟的宽限期。
咖啡馆大约下午5点关门,所以如果你想在徒步结束时喝杯咖啡,请记住这一点。
虽然听起来很明智,但徒步开始时(靠近蒸汽喷口)不要把手伸进小溪里,除非你想让手指被烫伤。
哦,对了,如果你有河鞋,也请带上,因为河里的石头踩在脚下会有点不舒服。
