The walk from the car park can take between 1hr15 (active people) to 2hrs (casual walkers) and includes a steep descent to the falls that most could compete with caution. The views are definitely worth the walk but remember the dangers of heights and water when there.

Amazing hike. Be prepared that the hike is quit long but mostly flat. But definitely worth it for us!

Left the car park at around 5am and walked the track in the dark with a head torch. Easy enough walk, carried a stick to avoid spider webs although there were very few across the path. Seeing the sun rise over the hills from the top of the water was incredible. One of my favourite waterfall experiences ever.

From the Carpark to the Waterfall/lookout it is 5.7kmHighly 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 roughThe trek is mostly flat, but does has steep inclines.When I went a lady died, trying to cross the rocks to the other side and got knocked out and the water took her over the edge.If you want to cool off maybe go up stream a little as there are smaller poolsSo be really careful.

Honestly an amazing place. Keeping a decent pace with no stops, I did it in 60 mins. Walking back alone in the dark is scary af, I don't recommend it. But there are fireflies in the forest which was cool. I had a run in with a boar but idk who was more scared of who. And cassowarys start screeching in the afternoon and sound like dinosaurs. I nearly ran on top of a rabbit. It was a wild ride night alright?! Go at a reasonable hour and enjoy it :) Well worth the hike. Why are you still reading? Go do it

About 11km return walk. Very easy and flat. It only becomes steep on the last 100m ish heading down to the falls.If you have a drone I highly recommend taking it the shots / waterfall is incredible.Loved this walk and waterfall

We did this early at 4am with headlamps so we could see the sunrise. It was beautiful. The track was really easy to walk on, even with headlamps on we had no problems. The views at the falls are just so amazing, you’ll just love it

A long walk, very muddy when we did it, definitely take good shoes. We were first on the track in the morning and we encountered the biggest pigs I've ever seen, but they ran off. The track goes through rainforest, and later alpine type woodlands, then alternating with forest again.The last few metres to the falls are quite steep, but achievable for the brave and able bodied. The views are spectacular, and there is a small spot relatively safe for swimming as long as you aren't afraid of heights! Quite the insta shot, one would say.

One of my favourite infinity pool near Cairns. Worth to hike for 1.5-hour through tropical forest Wooroonooran NationalPark. Not recommended for family with kids due to slippery steep descent (100m going down to the waterfall). Please take bottle of water with you and be prepared as there's no public toilet. To visit this falls sunrise is better than sunset.

Gorgeous, simply cannot recommend enough. Make sure you bring insect repellent and wear long socks and pants - plenty of leeches around. The track is well maintained and well marked. not too technical. It's a 90 minute walk each way, but could be longer if you stop for breaks. Only thing I'll say is if you want a good view of the water fall there is a bit if a rock climb down. It's not too challenging ( you won't need any ropes or equipment) but make sure you're prepared for it. Be careful - the edge is very precarious and the water flows fast. I've seen people swimming up the top but I can't recommend it. It would be possible to get washed off the cliff face. It is a sheer drop off the edge.
