Rere Rock Slide
Created over thousands of years ago is a crazy 60 meter natural water-slide!
Here you can slide down the giant water slide on a boogie board, tyre tube or air mattress - definitely popular for those who like a bit of risk and adventure! Well worth the trip and a gem in the region for locals and visitors. The rock is fairly smooth, but you may still get a few bumps and bruises - a mark of a fun time!

You can slide really fast and if you have a body board it is even more fun!

A beautiful place in the nature.
This is a natural swimming pool with a wall where you can slide down into the water. Very funny and bring your bodyboards.

That was great fun!
You can spend there a whole day if you like - and it is free! You only need a good bodyboard. There is a waterfall where you can walk under the waterfall - even behind! That is magical.

Just rent a bodyboard and have fun at the stream.
Protect yourself with a wetsuit and go when the weather is fine.

Its a lot of fun if you have a small board to slide along the stones.
It is an awesome location though if its really sunny, there are too many people!!

Fun and exciting.
Bring a raft/dinghy/air mattress/body board. And ride down this stream that runs along a flat rock bed! So so so much fun.
