Ropeway – Kempty Falls – You will enjoy ropeway / cable car ride which takes you to kempty falls or you can take stairs also. It’s enjoyable experience for kids and adults.

If you have your own vehicle you can go for a nice drive and enjoy the beauty, but I would recommend to take a cab for yourself as parking can be sometimes problem in peak season and you may have to walk a lot.

There is another Adventure Park near Kempty Falls when you can enjoy boating, water activities, zipline, etc.
