Hot Water Beach
Very difficult to find hot water.
You have to keep digging all the time otherwise your pool fills with sand, water can be up to 80 degrees c so be careful. Only sit 10 cm in hot water, rest of your body might get cold (wind...!) Many people.

You should know BEFORE that 'blackwater rafting' is NOT like whitewater rafting.
Walking 3-4 hours through the caves, very cold water, hot drink and sweets, only 5 minutes in water paddling. Many glow worms.
