👍👍 Brilliant experience! You can drive yourself up for free before 730am or after 6pm, otherwise the shuttle is cheap and find every 10 minutes. A great place to visit, make sure you keep an eye out for all of the viewpoints!

👍👍 Really big camping area. Plenty of space for everyone and plenty of fire pit / water point. Nice walk to the top of the fall with beautiful lookout over the valley. Couples of swimming pools close to the day area. Facilities were clean. Make sure you book ahead as there are no phone coverage over th...

A 1.2-kilometer loop trail past rainforest, mangrove swamps & spring-fed creeks, with info panels.

👍 Need to have some local knowledge otherwise you could miss the best spots. We visited here in September holidays 2022, has been a bit dry, so not alot of flowing water. We crossed the small bridge just after carpark and noticed a few people swimming on the left side of the bridge upon a few rocks....

👍👍 We did all three boardwalks in the Daintree, this was our favourite. Just stunning. The boardwalk loop is easy going, about 600m, with some stairs. If you have a bit more time, the long loop is a stunning walk through the rainforest. It is a 3km loop, easy to follow track, medium difficulty due to u...

👍 Nice walk - lower moderate walk connects with the Trinity park beach if you choose. Summit is nice but views are getting obscured by trees. Parking is located at the boat ramp about 5 minutes walk up the road. Dog friendly.

👍👍 100% book your transfer with John from Absolute North Charters. He picked us up from the bus the day before to take us to our accommodation for the night, then picked us up in the morning as well to get us to the boat ramp. John made sure we had everything we needed for our hike, looking after us as...

👍👍 Excellent walking track with lots of variety. Tropical forest, steep cliffs, long secluded beaches, astonishing views to the family Islands. A lot of nature is to be explored. Kangaroo's, Echidna, Birds and even Cassowaries. Since it is a one way track, I recommend to turn to hinterland, mid Kennedy...

👍👍 Nice and easy walk from the carpark to the train station where the waterfall can be admired. The walk itself is very well maintained and you could have the opportunity to explore wild life along the way. On the track/path, art work can be viewed that nicely fit the surrounding landscape. Be aware of...

👍👍 A lovely little waterfall which has a swimming area at the base. It looks like some work is being done to add additional stairs into the swimming area. The information centre close by has lots of information and a great little display of animals from the area. The cafe close by also has great home m...

Swimming hole at a naturally fed creek with fluctuating water levels & striking blue color.

👍👍 A very short boardwalk to get an amazing view. Definitely worth the time if you're already nearby in the area. After the scenery you can walk down to the small beach in amongst the mangroves.

👍👍 From the Carpark to the Waterfall/lookout it is 5.7km Highly recommend not going if it has rained, the trek is terrible and muddy, plus you won't be able to swim as the falls are wayyy too rough The trek is mostly flat, but does has steep inclines. When I went a lady died, trying to cross the roc...

👍👍 Most of the hike is pretty steep but once you reach the top it's all worth it, I reached the top when there was a sunset was perfect. There's a book for you to write your name in aswell!
