The Otways is a lush rainforest area bursting with native wildlife and magnificent flowing waterfalls. It is fair to say that no trip to the Great Ocean Road is complete without visiting at least one of the peaceful yet breathtaking Otways waterfalls.

    The rainforest is one of the best in Australia. The huge trees and ferns are great and to see them from the skywalk is just great.

    I love the rainforest and waterfall walks in the otways. I take my family every year and never tire of these. They are free and are enjoyed by all ages and levels of experience. You don’t need to be a mountain climber to see the wonderful scenery and natural beauty.

    The Otway Ranges are one of the most under-appreciated assets in Victoria. The declaration of the Great Otway NP will work toward rectifying this. Beachamp Falls is my favourite - tall, fringed by lush rainforest and invigorating - everything a waterfall should be

    Even our teenage and young adult children loved the waterfalls and some of the challenging climbs to veiw them.

    It took a visit to the waterfalls in NT for me to really appreciate what we have right here. The Otway falls are picturesque, cool and nearby, why travel so far to see something that differs mainly in vegetation (palms instead of ferns)

    If Harrison Ford came here then he would not wish to leave as quickly as he does from everywhere else

    Beautiful area at any time of the year and in any weather. Wonderful walks and always water running to enjoy. Close to great ocean road so you get two experiences in one. Also clost to Volcanic area and wonderful orchids

    There are some great waterfalls throught the Otways, most of which are easily accessible. To me, the best are the Triplet Falls which are only a few minutes further on from the Otway Fly near Beech Forest. Well worth a visit. Marriners Falls near Apollo Bay and Phantom Falls near Lorne are also great.
