Swimming Spot
The Maitai Valley is full of great swimming spots - drive up the Valley from the end of Nile street and look for car parks at Black Hole, Dennies Hole or Girlies hole - they are all family friendly swimming holes with good access. The nice thing about the Maitai Valley is that most of the swimming spots have good shady areas to sit, so you won't get sunburnt in between dips, and it makes a nice change from the beach.
