Trips
WATERFALL WAY
The 185km Waterfall Way scenic drive links Coffs harbour and Armidale, passing through Bellingen, rainforest, river valleys and waterfalls, including New England and Dorrigo national parks. Going halfway to Dorrigo is still a great trip that takes in all the major waterfalls, the Dorrigo National Park and its World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforest, for breathtaking waterfall walks, picnic spots and excellent birdwatching.
FORREST SKY PIER
The Forest Sky Pier has spectacular panoramic views over the Coffs Coast and Hinterland. Cantilevered off the edge of Sealy Lookout in Orara East State Forest, the Forest Sky Pier projects 22 metres out over rainforest, 15 metres above the forest canopy. The Forest Sky Pier is a 5-10 minute drive off the Pacific Highway through banana plantations and forest, taking in amazing views as you travel up the hill side.
COFFS HARBOUR BUTTERFLY HOUSE
The Butterfly Glass House is an enclosed hot subtropical environment where visitors have the opportunity all year round, to get close to nature, be surrounded by 700 live Australian butterflies and learn about their lifecycle.
