You step from the air-conditioned vehicle and the forest answers — ferns brushing the track, birds calling from the gullies, a distant thunder that proves to be Ellenborough Falls.

You step from the air-conditioned vehicle and the forest answers — ferns brushing the track, birds calling from the gullies, a distant thunder that proves to be Ellenborough Falls.
Start at viewing platforms where the single-drop cascade plunges roughly 200 metres into a fern-filled gorge. The falls demand your senses: mist on your face, rock-slick paths underfoot, and a constant roar that shrinks conversation to shouts. Later the tour carries you inland to Comboyne Rock, an elevated basalt outcrop with 360-degree sightlines over rolling dairy country and the distant Pacific.
This stretch of the Hastings hinterland sits on ancient volcanic soils and was traditionally Wyong and Birpai country; the landscape’s cliffs and escarpments trace long runs of erosion and lava flows. Wildlife here is alive and watchful — wallabies at dusk, kookaburras at breakfast — and small settlements like Comboyne keep a measured rural pace and straightforward country hospitality.
Practical tip: the full private tour runs about eight hours with substantial driving between sites, so treat it as a day of sightseeing with short walks rather than a full-day hike. Wear grippy footwear for the short trail to the base of the falls, bring a waterproof layer for spray and sudden rain, and carry water and sunscreen. The private format makes it easier to linger at viewpoints or shorten walks if needed; check mobility constraints with the operator when booking. Morning light favors the falls; late afternoon softens the Comboyne panoramas.
Walks range from short views at the platforms to a steeper trail down to the base; plan 20–60 minutes depending on how far you go.
Yes — the tour is family-friendly with flexible walking options, but it’s not recommended for people with serious spinal or heart conditions.
Bottled water is provided; a lunch stop in Comboyne is included but meals are typically at your own cost unless the operator specifies otherwise.
Private, air-conditioned vehicles are used; expect several stretches of driving off main roads to reach viewpoints.
