Hinterland & Waterfalls Tour

Trade the coast for the green heart of the region on a guided day into the rainforest hinterland. We centre it on the waterfalls of Nightcap National Park — the ~100 m plunge of Minyon Falls and its lookout, the World Heritage-listed Gondwana rainforest and its cool green tracks — with time for a hinterland village along the way. Family-owned since 1974, tailored to your group and quoted per enquiry.

Hinterland & Waterfalls — FAQ

What does the hinterland and waterfalls tour include?

A guided day into the rainforest hinterland centred on the waterfalls of Nightcap National Park — Minyon Falls and its lookout, the Gondwana rainforest, and a hinterland village along the way, with pick-up and the driving handled. Tailored and quoted per enquiry — get in touch.

How is this different from the hinterland and villages tour?

This day leads with the national park and its waterfalls, while our hinterland & villages tour leads with the heritage villages, markets and dining. Many guests combine elements of both — tell us what you’d like.

Can you see Minyon Falls?

Yes — Minyon Falls drops around 100 m over an ancient rhyolite cliff into rainforest, and the lookout gives the classic view. Track access and conditions change after heavy rain, so check current details before you go.

Do you climb Wollumbin (Mount Warning)?

No. The Wollumbin summit walk is permanently closed and the mountain is a sacred site for the Bundjalung people. We honour the closure and instead take in the Tweed Caldera and Wollumbin respectfully from lookouts.

How much does it cost?

Every trip is tailored to your group, season and inclusions, so we quote per enquiry rather than list fixed prices. Tell us your plans for a quote.
