Sunset Waterfall Dook
A Wild Swimming Experience
Saturday 14th March @5.30pm
As the light softens and the day exhales, we gather at a hidden waterfall. Cold water pours over ancient rock. The air sharp. The landscape quiet. We step into the pool together as the sun sinks low, colours deepening, senses sharpening.
This is a sunset waterfall dook—simple, powerful and unforgettable.
Guided with care, calm and respect for the elements, this experience is about more than cold water. It’s about presence. Courage.

Why Winter?
Winter strips everything back.
The colours are quieter. The water more honest.
A sunset dook at this time of year feels ancient—like something humans have always done.
Come and experience it for yourself.
