Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Cute little walk; not difficult at all. However! Balance and stability is required as it’s heavily set around a narrow boarded walkway. Beautiful piece of forest. Totally worth a stop in.

This was a beautiful short, unique walk. We enjoyed the extra small challenge of the raised steps to cross the creek. They are not difficult - very stable and evenly spaced, fairly close together. You would need a moderate level of fitness and balance to feel comfortable crossing. We enjoyed the walk on this glorious April afternoon - the trees and birds and many butterflies. The boardwalk is well designed and the walk is just stunning. We went around twice - it didn’t take very long.

Worth a visit. About a 40 min walk up a main road from Agnes water so if you have a car it would be much easier! You will deffo need mosquito spray as there were thousands of them! Beautiful walk but quite short! Worth a look for sure!

Short walk around this stunning magical forest. Don’t forget to stop while your crossing the stepping trunks and look up. It’s easy to be concentrating hard on where your stepping you forget to look up. Paperbark trees really are stunning. I could have walked this a couple of times. It had been raining when we went and a few of the planks were under water a little so required a little paddle lol.

Pleasing that this magic spot has been set aside and is being so well looked after. Lots of nice lighting mid - late afternoon on the tree trunks for photos. It was a bit dry there in early September but the raised steps along the planked boardwalk, would be needed when the area is its more usual wetter. Some aeroguard is needed.

We visited this attraction mid morning on recommendation of our friends who had previously been here and I am glad we did. The area is pristine given is closeness to a haevily viisted part of the coast. Board walks and raised concrete stepping stones provide dry walk through the marsh and give a sense of how the area must flood during the wet.

Our dog navigated the board walks well only falling into the water once but had to be carried across the stepping stones.

A site that can appeal to all exect the very young or old who may find it hard to walk along the designated pathways.

This is a really short but very beautiful walk that should definitely be on your to do list when you are visiting Agnes Water. The walk is flat and on a boardwalk most of the way, but there are a couple of sections where you will need to step over logs, so this isn't suitable for wheelchairs, prams or those who are unsteady on their feet. It would only take you 5 minutes if you kept moving, but give yourself 30 minutes to enjoy it. It was really dry when we went but it could be slippery when it's wet.

This unique bush walk is a great experience and so much fun. A short drive from Agnes Waters township this circular walk is not as long or difficult as it may appear from the website description but it is just as enjoyable. Consisting of a fairly narrow level board walk and two areas of raised stepping stones over potential watercourses it took us around 20 minutes to complete stopping to appreciate the thick paperbark forest and natural bushland. It may be more difficult in wetter conditions than we experienced as shown in the photos and does require some mobility.

This is a great little side trip. We went around twice it was so good! Nice and easy walk. We also went back at night time to hopefully see some wildlife, no wildlife but extremely spooky at night.

I enjoyed it but was the only one in my party that did. Its a brief 10 minute walk through the forest on a wooden board and two sets of stepping stones. People in my party were worried that we might come across a snake or a spider but I'm super brave
