Explore beyond Coffs Harbour with a scenic day trip along a winding road aptly named Waterfall Way. Today, you stock up on water and snacks and enter the heart of subtropical rainforests and breathtaking waterfalls, each one a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

The magic begins as you enter Dorrigo National Park. Your first stop: Dangar Falls. Park the car and take a deep breath of fresh air as you approach the viewing platform. Gaze down at the powerful Dangar Falls cascading through a lush gorge. Adventurers, make your way down and plunge into the pool, expect cool temperatures, or make your way before the water drops for a more shallow and slightly warmer swim.

A short detour leads you to Crystal Shower Falls. Leaving your car, delve deeper into the rainforest along the walking track. Listen to the roaring flow and witness the Crystal Shower Falls, a series of cascading curtains cloaked in a fine mist. Feel the cool spray on your face and take a moment to appreciate the tranquillity of this hidden oasis.

While the two above are the standouts, those with more time can look at Google Maps and plan which other sights you want to visit. Two places we recommend are the short walk to Tristania Falls, where you get the chance to appreciate and admire the surrounding rainforest, and Ebor Falls, known as the grand finale on Waterfall Way.
