    What an awesome place Wentworth Falls is. We got there nice an early this morning, both to get a great park and to beat the rush and it worked perfectly. Once there we walked around the general picnic areas then on to the sightseeing and WOW the views are jaw dropping. Some of the lookout paths were a little wet (we have had a very wet summer), but definitely worth the extra effort. If you are not good with hights you might find some of the tracks a bit scary but there were loads of fences and supports to keep me safe.

    Absolutely beautiful views. Can get Quite busy on the weekend. Its a good place to get outdoors for a hike well worth it. You can see some stunning views of falls if you walk along the trails. The walk can become difficult and scary it did for my kids. Make sure to wear comfy shoes and take water.

    Such an amazing walk along the trails! There was heavy fog which made it eerily beautiful. Looking out from a lookout and seeing an abyss was a very cool experience. Made it to the falls and it loved up to its reputation. (Trails were significantly shorter than times recommended, which isn't necessarily a bad thing)

    The best, the best, the best waterfall and the trail. Was so lucky to have made that trail toll the end. Only 2 of us decided to go down the steep slope and kept surging bottom just to find this beautiful place. It is like paradise, and the waterfall is so magnificent. Plus, the trail itself is such a great place to be with lots of views and scenery of other attractive places.

    Absolutely gorgeous views. The hike is well worth it. Quite busy on the weekend. The trail could be quite slippery so put on some good shoes and try to avoid it on moist days. There are different small waterfalls alongside the track. It is quite magical. Certainly even more magical from below (did not take my phone with me all the way down the trail and so none of the photos show the real majesty of the place) .

    Great tracks and the view is amazing. Incentive in form of Waterfalls is the best thing during this entire tracks. There are different tracks for all abilities, you need a good fitness regime to get going through this track. At times the path gets narrow and becomes very scary with the deep holes mountains on the side but it’s worth it. Completed 1 track in 2 hours. Tip: wear comfy shoes and Don’t forget to take water bottle and snacks with you lol

    Superb! A variety of walking tracks for all abilities, at times challenging and some tracks do require a decent level of fitness. These tracks offer all walks access to spectacular scenery of the Blue Mountains. The NSW National Parks have Dine a great job building and maintaining these walks

    From the carpark, there is a short 10 minute walk to see the falls from afar, 20 minute to get a little lower and breathtaking views over the canyon or 45 minute + trails to take you right up to the falls. For me, the view from the 20 minutes is just Avatar worthy…

    Beautiful walk for adults and kids alike. There are some muddy spots because of all the rain but still possible. Scenery wise it's the gift that keeps on giving. Plenty of parking and toilets and a cafe on one particular track serving drinks and snacks.

    Did a day trip to Blue Mountains.. It a massive region that required time for exploration. For all nature lovers, Wentworth falls is a must. Amazing rustic walk with great access to water fall.. Loved getting pictures ... A small Coffee cart was also present in parking area.. Car Park was pretty much occupied, probably due to long weekend. Washrooms were available... Will definitely try getting another trip...

    Wow such an amazing place. When at the viewing area just up from the parking area, take the stairs to the left to go down. Stairs and downhill. Then come back the opposite way from the falls. Very beautiful walk and not steep. Still has some stairs but an easier walk.

    Great way to spend a few hours or the day in the Blue Mountains. Plenty of tracks to hike along and places to stop to see the waterfall. The walk to bottom to the full waterfall was great

  • 5/5 Shweta S. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place for hiking. All options available - easy, medium and difficult level walks. If one takes the route of national pass one can enjoy breathtaking views of Falls and pools to get a quick dip. There are 2 waterfalls that are accessible easily and quickly the third one takes about 3-4 hrs and steep steps to reach. Charles Darwin walk is closed at the moment. Overall a very good experience πŸ‘

  • 5/5 cohwyn c. 8 months ago on Google
    Great for tracking, exercise, adventure and atmosphere there's abit of history plaques along the trail. Recommended: lots of water, sunscreen, hats and sometimes late arvo the occasional jacket as down the bottom without sunlight it can get quite cold. Very steep stairs can be hard on the way back up.

  • 5/5 Thomas H. 4 months ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful waterfall! The tracks continuing from here are closed for maintenance/works but you can still get to the base of this breathtaking waterfall. It's only 10-15 minutes down from the mini waterfall and stepping stones at the top. Well worth going down all those steep steps and back up for these views!

    Great track! Great for kids and the entire family. The views were amazing and the overall experience was great. Although some parts were a bit steep, the bottom of the waterfall had an amazing view and made up for it. Worthwhile for everyone to enjoy.

  • 5/5 Jowand K. 7 months ago on Google
    One of the beauty of the world. Its magical. Steep stairs and in hundreds but all the hardwork worth it. We went with 3 kids the youngest is five and half but we made it. Though I must say kids need to be watched.

  • 5/5 Duncan M. 7 months ago on Google
    A beautiful spot that is down A LOT of VERY steep stairs. Going down is dangerous and coming back up is exhausting, but it is totally worth it to spend an hour at the bottom climbing around the rocks at the waterfall. I recommend taking food and having it down there. Unfortunately the end of the path is currently under construction and so you aren't able to do the full thing.

  • 5/5 Alex T. 7 months ago on Google
    It's an amazing water fall surrounding with beautiful trails. You can pick any of them and totally enjoy the walk. It's even better that we can go into the stream and follow the water to the upstream. The water is pretty cold in September, feel like the freezer but it does not stop us from enjoying the upstream water walk.

    Incredibly beautiful waterfall , Mesmerising view , mostly for nature lovers , very peaceful surrounding, walk is worthy of scenery. Lovely place to be with family & friends .

  • 5/5 Arman R. 10 months ago on Google
    It's one of the most amazing places I've ever visited, at any time you'll enjoy being here, no doubt, it's a bit of a drive from Sydney, but it's definitely worth it, highly recommended for sure, plenty parking spot available, make sure take water with you

  • 5/5 Tim O. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing waterfalls and walks. There are a few look outs easily accessible from tbe carpark. Or do 500 steps to the top of the falls or 1000+ the way to the bottom!

  • 5/5 alex z. 9 months ago on Google
    A beautiful place to visit with lots of walks to do that range from easy to hard. Beautiful views and lookouts as well as a nice grassy hill with several tables and chairs for people to have a picnic plus toilets there too.

  • 5/5 Emily D. 4 months ago on Google
    This was the best part of my visit to Australia by far, it’s a must to check out - as you get further into the trail it becomes even more beautiful. Don’t be turned off by the amount of stairs to get through this, you can get through it!!!! Worth all the sweat

  • 5/5 Treckfish 9 months ago on Google
    Incredibly beautiful, with great and scenic views! Good to hike, mostly rock but also some stairs. The end is VERY steep, so bring enough water! We've been there with "Autopia Tours", and our guide "Smoky" was SO GREAT... He can tell you something about everything you can see, hear, smell and about history of the land... not sure about the future, though ;-) I definitely recommend booking the tour, more than worth the money (we paid about 160 AUD each).

  • 5/5 Woo C. 9 months ago on Google
    Stunning place that must be witnessed. It is a fairly long walk down, and coming up can be quite challenging for some. Nonetheless, the view you get from the vantage point is worth every bit of your step. Some parts have a very narrow walkway and can be slippery after a rainy day.

  • 5/5 Tracy van V. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved it... it is a beautiful waterfall and stunning walk to the top and bottom of them. Definitely will bring visitors here to experience it all and so I can go again :) The stairs were well maintained and felt safe - my 4 year old daughter was able to climb down and back up them on her own too - slow and steady :)

  • 5/5 Chathu K. 1 year ago on Google
    Really awesome and beautiful waterfall consist of 2 parts. Upper Wentworth falls and lower Wentworth falls. This is by far the favorite waterfall of mine. Trek to the down of upper fall is a bit hard, we did not go to lower falls as it was hard with a kid. You can view and walk to the stream, the crest of the fall, and the base of the falls.

  • 5/5 Aayush S. 2 years ago on Google
    Wentworth Falls, a very good place to hike and spend some good time with your family and friends. You can see some thrilling views of falls if you walk along the trails. I had a really good experience. Will definitely visit next time again on my way to Sydney.

  • 5/5 Vineet N. 2 years ago on Google
    We thought the fog would spoil the views for us but we were in for a surprise. The fog started clearing up slowly and left us with a stunning rate view. See photos. The falls itself are around 40min walk from the top but we didn't venture too much into it as it was raining and was slightly slippery.

  • 5/5 TY 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favourite hiking places (been here 10+ times)! It could get really busy during weekends and parking could be difficult to find. I recommend going near to sunset and a few days after heavy rain as the waterfall would be stunning and chances are you will see a rainbow. Just be mindful that the stairs are a bit steep and slippery when wet (may not be suitable for young kids, older folks, or people with joint issues)

  • 5/5 Kathleen Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place especially after a good amount of rain. Easy to get to from the Wentworth falls picnic area. Or make a nice long walk out of it starting from the Conservation Hut.

  • 5/5 Shirish K. 2 years ago on Google
    Best day to go is when its raining.

  • 5/5 Tareq H. 2 years ago on Google
    We walked on Den Fenella lookout and the overcliff track. We got to Empress Falls then went on the National Pass Track all the way to Wentworth Falls. What a great day! The track is awesome. I loved climbing up the tracks near Wentworth Falls.

  • 5/5 Christopher D. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing views if you are able to take the national pass trail, totally worth it, we took our 6 & 8 year old and they made it most of the way through with only a few complaints. Ensure you take plenty of water and a few snacks with you. It took us about 3 hrs return trip with a fair few stops along the way to get to the tee off point to the ladders which is about 1/2way and the return up the grand staircase.

  • 5/5 Rosa O. 2 years ago on Google
    Cracker views only a short distance from the car park. Easy walk around the cliff rim. Definitely worth viewing the waterfall from both sides
