This is a short drive from Kuranda and is well worth it. The view across the valley is spectacular, and you can also see the SkyRail cable cars moving across the valley. We went when it was heading towards the dry season, so the waterfall was not as full as it can be - but was very impressive nonetheless. More

As we drove up to Kuranda, we crossed the Barron River twice. I remarked to my husband that this river must have some impressive falls somewhere as it goes down the hills, we were driving up. Well, I was not disappointed. Although well past the wet season, there was still plenty of water going over the falls. I saw photos... More

On our Kuranda trip we stopped off at the very impressive Barron Falls. The sheer magnitude of the water was amazing and would be even more impressive after a downpour or in the wet season. The roar of water is deafening, and the view and scenery was spectacular. Travel by skyrails, train or car it’s a must do trip. More

It's an easy 12 minute walk to the lookout where you'll find spectacular views. We had hire car and it was definitely worth the very short drive from kuranda village. It might be a bit far to walk from kuranda village. More

If you have a rainy day in Cairns, make your next day a trip up to Barron Falls! When these are raging, they are incredible. But it's an impressive view no matter how much water is flowing over it. We did a big loop from Cairns to Kuranda, to Mareeba, to Port Douglas. It's a great day trip where you... More

Barron Falls are amazing, particularly after a large downpour. Really interesting to see - we drove over to Kuranda from Palm Cove, although you can get the Skyrail (expensive though). A little confusing to find the right spot - the first walk we went on took us through the rainforest, past a little creek & out to another road where... More

Located in Kuranda, the Barron Falls are a beautiful sight! We were there after there had been a lot of rain, and the falls were fantastic! The walk to the falls is also very beautiful and wheelchair/pram friendly. The falls lookout also serves as a stopping point for the Kuranda Rail. Great day out! More

A very beautiful water drop with different ways to get there. There is a walking bridge that leads you to the train station which overlooks the fall. It is a bit big going back and forth, but this is because otherwise it would be a steep descent/climb. More

I was very fortunate with my trip to Barron Falls, in that it was the first day of sunshine after nearly two weeks of heavy downpour. Therefore the water was crashing through with such an intensity and it made the whole experience give me goosebumps. I spent the morning at Kurranda Village looking around all the markets and shops before... More
