The terrain is known to be wet, remote, and rugged, although the trails are relatively good, and the camping areas near the ranger stations are very well managed. Enjoy a secluded walk down the beautiful beaches, lined with Coconut palms, and cool down by rinsing off under one of the many breathtaking waterfalls.
