Information

The facilities at the Visitors centre are probably the main reason that tourists visit the area. The Information Centre includes a tourist shop and contains displays. Adjacent is the Canopy Restaurant/Café, the Sky Walk and access to many kilometres of walking track.
It is built on the edge of the escarpment with views of mountains and valleys right to the coast. The area is covered in dense rain forest that can be viewed from above from the Sky Walk or from below on walking tracks. There are long stretches of board walk and stairs to make walking easier.

Many of Dorrigo National Park’s walking tracks begin here, including the Wonga walk and the Lyrebird link track.

Opening 9am to 4.30pm daily. Closed Christmas Day.

The Wonga walk delivers all the delights of the subtropical rainforest and is one of the most popular walks not only in Dorrigo National Park, but also in Australia. Tall, lush World Heritage listed rainforest provides a cool and shaded walking track and many waterfalls. The 600-year-old trees, elevated boardwalk, colourful fungi, vines, and interesting bird calls are just some of the sights and sounds waiting for you on this walk. You'll also pass the cascading beauty of Tristania Falls, and kids will love the suspension bridge at Crystal Shower Falls where you have the option to get down into a cavern and look through the veil of falling water. There are some steeper sections along the walk, a few steps and some boulder crossings, but you can break the walk up into shorter sections. Start your walk at Dorrigo Rainforest Centre, and take Lyrebird link track for 400m before joining Wonga walk. Check your Dorrigo National Park map to see all the walk options.
