Behana Gorge
Highlights
Behana Gorge is an adventure-filled spot just 30 minutes south of Cairns. It’s a 45-minute walk along a scenic path that follows a rushing creek, leading to Clamshell Falls – a stunning waterfall with a refreshing swimming hole at its base. The water is clear and cool, perfect for a dip after your walk.
The gorge is surrounded by lush rainforest, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. Bring snacks, water, and sunscreen since there are no facilities here. It’s best to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the heat.
Adult Supervision Recommended
The trail and swimming areas can be slippery, so having an adult along is important for safety while exploring.
