Information

While completely concreted, the 3.2km trek up to Behana Gorge can be tough to combat in Tropical North Queensland’s heat so be sure pack a couple of water bottles before conquering. Your reward? The spectacular Clamshell Falls, the main attraction of Behana Gorge. There’s plenty of space to set up a picnic but not before cooling off in the refreshing cool waters.
