Brown-hooded kingfisher

Features river valley, rocks and cliffs, waterfalls and view sites.

The big tree

Features a 800+ year old Yellowwood tree and an awesome half hour circular route.

Giant kingfisher

A moderate trail which takes you to the Touw River Waterfall. The first half is tricky, but the second half has a new easy boardwalk. You can also reach the second half by crossing over from the Half Collared Kingfisher trail or by canoeing from the backpackers.

Pied kingfisher

A unique opportunity to see water birds up close as the boardwalk takes one over the water and right into the territory of the birds.
