Stop 2
The Dark View Falls are two spectacular waterfalls, one above the other, cascading down high cliff faces and plunging into natural pools. There is a short and easy hike to the falls through rainforest and across the Richmond River via either a bamboo bridge or conventional bridge. You pass through a clearing in the middle of a pretty bamboo grove before reaching the first tall waterfall. Another short, but more difficult walk will take you up to the second waterfall, directly above the first. The waterfalls flow all year from a tributary of the Richmond River.
3
Visit to the scenes where the blockbuster movie Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed. Before heading to the final stop the Buccament Beach
4
End the day with a relaxing swim at the beautiful white sandy beach of the Buccament Bay.
