The panoramic side of the falls: a trail along the canyon with the falls in front of you, and a walkway out over the river towards the Devil's Throat.

The day

Private cars stop at the visitor centre. From there the park's own buses do the rest, and your driver waits for you.

The Falls Trail

About a kilometre and a half of path along the canyon, with viewpoints across to the falls on the far bank.

The walkway

The trail ends on a walkway over the river, facing the Devil's Throat. On a windy day the spray reaches you.

Before you book

Opening hours
The park opens every day, from 09:00 on weekdays and 08:30 at weekends, and entry closes at 16:00. On the 07:00 start you reach the gate before it opens, at the front of the queue.
High water
When the river is very high the park can close the walkway to the Devil's Throat, as it did in September 2026. We tell you before the day if it is shut.
What to bring
A light raincoat or a change of top. The spray near the walkway soaks people.
Start time
Starts at 07:00 or 13:00, every day. Every tour is customisable: a different start time, extra stops, more time where you like it, or a longer day. Tell us when you book.
Language
Guided in English. Other languages on request, if we have notice.
Cancellation
Free up to 24 hours before, refunded in full.
