On various sections of the river the fern covered trees on either side meet to form sheltered  avenue. Although the river has traveled some 50 kilometres from Gunung Tahan by the time it reaches the cascades, the waters are generally shallow. The rocky riverbed is suitable for paddling and wading in the cool clean waters. The waters here and in other isolated parts of the park have a slight clear tea coloring resulting from the natural decay of vegetation that falls into the river.

The cascades mark the limit for navigation along the river. Here, the bubbling waters provide an invigorating natural spa bath and the riverbanks are popular for picnics and relaxation. There is a camping ground next to the river for those who want to stay overnight, and bookings should be made at the HQ.

The alternative to the boat trip to the cascades is a hike of 9.5 kilometres or 3-5 hours (one way ). Adventurous walkers may want to explore the pools and rapids further upstream where there is a rudimentary trail to follow.

This is a designated fish sanctuary area, especially for kelah species, so fishing is prohibited. A popular activity here is to watch the freshwater fish up close intheir natural habitat and to feed them most amazingly they can be summoned by ringing a  bell.
