The Colorful Waterfall is one of the park's most visited water features — a substantial drop over layered rock faces into a clear plunge pool, with the bamboo forest continuing right to the cliff edge on both sides. Water levels vary considerably through the year; the park's own advice to visit in the cooler months, when rainfall has been higher, is sound. Summer heat can reduce it to a modest trickle.
The viewing platform at the base of the falls is well-positioned, and the path that continues beyond it along the streambed is worth following for another twenty minutes even in the absence of dramatic scenery — the scale of the bamboo changes near the water, where the stems grow more thickly and the canopy is lower.
