    Wonga Walk Access Options

    The Wonga Walk can be accessed via the Glade Picnic Area or via an additional access track. This additional access track is a 2-minute walk from the Skywalk, along Lyrebird Lane which also leads to the Glade Picnic Area and Visitor Centre.

    The additional access track is surfaced with non-slip rubber mat and is for experienced walkers. Please note that the track is steep and uneven in sections, making it unsuitable for prams, wheelchairs and other mobility aids.

About

Walk through lush rainforest to reach Crystal Shower Falls in Dorrigo National Park near Coffs Harbour. Enjoy spectacular views from the rocky cavern behind the waterfall.

The walk to Crystal Shower Falls might be one of the shortest waterfall walks, but it is also one of the most intriguing because you can go behind the waterfall itself. Lush rainforest towers above you on the walk to the falls and you might hear the call of rainforest birds like fruit doves.

Once you reach the falls, a suspension bridge leads to a short side track that will take you behind the waterfall into a rocky cavern.

To get to Crystal Shower Falls you’ll need to take the first part of the Satinbird stroll and then join the Wonga walk, leaving from The Glade picnic area. If you are feeling energetic and want to explore the rainforest more you can carry on walking the Wonga walk.
