Torc Waterfall
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon gives softer light and fewer visitors. After recent rain the fall is at its strongest, but paths become slippery so wear grippy shoes.
Budget tips
No admission fee, waterfall and trails are free to visit; pay-and-display parking operates at the Torc car park so bring change or use the PayByPhone app to save time.

About
クイックファクト: A torrent of water plunges roughly 20 meters down a mossy cliff, sending a cool, spray-filled mist across the trail. Walkers often hear a chorus of birds and the rattle of pebbles underfoot, and short, steep paths let hikers reach the falls in about 10 minutes from nearby car parks.
ハイライト: Morning light often slices through the spray to create tubular rainbows that can hang for 2 to 5 minutes when the wind is calm, and many photographers aim for the lower viewpoint between 08:30 and 09:00 to catch them. A narrow rocky path wraps close to the cascade where visitors feel the air drop by roughly 3 to 4°C and taste mineral-rich mist on their lips, a shock of cool that surprises even seasoned hikers.
Insider tips
- Wear waterproof hiking shoes with good grip, trails get muddy and slippery after rain.
- Climb the short upper path for a higher vantage that frames the cascade against the mountains.
- Visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid tour buses and capture softer directional light for photos.
- Protect camera gear from spray and follow national park rules, drones are restricted without permission.
