Poripori Water Holes are very popular with locals meaning it is likely there are a number of people at any one time. Pori Pori gets all day sun so the freshwater is relatively warm and the surrounding rocks make great places to lie on sun warmed rocks. There are various depths so check before entering the water or dive bombing.
