Reviewed By StephenSue - Canberra, Australia
Having come straight from the Key Summit Walk, we didn't have the fitness or time for another long trek, and just did the short 20 minute hike to the falls. This is one of the best returns you'll get for a hike - there's heaps of parking, toilets, a great swing bridge entry across a spectacular river, a short mostly flat walk alongside the river and through some nice forest, and then a boardwalk hanging out over the falls. You could just about push a pram here if needed, but this short, easy walk also makes it very popular with tour groups, so be prepared to share the path. A nice short walk to finish off a long day, or for those who want a bit of a walk and some views without the effort on the way to, or from, MIlford Sound.

Clues not too difficult or too easy, range of different types of problem solving, we were a family group of adults and children (aged 13,9,7,4)and even the 4 year old got to be involved searching for clues.
