Why it's worth checking out
Minyon Falls Lookout sits within Nightcap National Park at Whian Whian, in the lush hinterland behind Byron Bay. The lookout offers a breathtaking view of Minyon Falls, where water plunges around 100 metres over a sheer rhyolite cliff into the rainforest gorge below — one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the Northern Rivers.
The appeal is that combination of an easily accessible, jaw-dropping view and the beauty of the surrounding World Heritage-listed rainforest. The lookout is just a short walk from the car park, while longer walking tracks lead down to the base of the falls and through the ancient forest for those wanting to explore further.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,600 reviews, it's a much-loved destination. The falls' flow varies with the season and rainfall, and access, track conditions and any closures can change, so it's worth checking current national park information before you go — and taking water, sun protection and good footwear if you plan to tackle the longer walks down to the base of the falls.
