Wonderful trip, we have plenty of time to enjoy the forest walk, experienced the primitive atmosphere while walking under big tall trees, being surrounded by fallen trees and the unforgettable view of Russell Falls.

A very pleasant trip. Lovely walk downhill through the national park - some interesting commentary and two waterfalls along the way. Saw trout being reared at the salmon ponds on the way up and a trout in the creek at the park.

It was a great trip, only 3 of us, so a nice clean mini-bus to travel in. When we got to Russell Falls and started walking, the guide (driver) Phil, took the mini-bus down so we only walked to the falls and down to meet the bus. This was fine, no issues, however, Phil's partner who was coming along to take photo's for a brochure was not as educated on the rain forest so I believe we missed out on learning a lot. She was really nice and easy to talk to, but i'd have preferred someone with more knowledge about the falls, rain forest, animals etc. Having said that, it was well organised, easy to book on line and enjoyable!

Guide was great, but the falls weren't that spectacular.
