Great Hike

Hiked down to Roberts point and really enjoyed it, the start begins with a bit of road but then turns into the rain forest, lots of nature around you and a nice distance of 8km return. It would of been nice to have distance markers...More

Longer hike but worth it!

Beautiful hike through forest and past Brown Lake to Narrows to watch extreme kayakers play in the changing tides. Unforgettable.

Gorgeous walk

The walk through this amazing forest is not to be missed if you're in the area. It's about a 45 minute walk from the start of the trail to the prize at the end. The amazing rapids where the tides meet. We were lucky enough...More

unique natural phenomenon

There are 3 different aspects of this park - each of which merit a visit, but if you time it right you can see all in one visit: the trail/hike itself to the water , the rushing water due to the tidal flows and the...More

Awesome!

This is a “must do” on any visit to the Sunshine Coast if you have good mobility and enjoy the outdoors! The trails are well kept, the rapids take your breath away, and if you go early in the day there is an amazing little...More

Force of Nature

Truly one of the must see wonders on the coast, standing waves and whirlpools delight visitors, caution, no guardrails, and rocks may be slippery.

always wanted to see it

I've always wanted to see the Skookumchuk Narrows, and that possibly coloured my appreciation of the whole experience. For me, it had meant a lot of ducks to line up, and so I was pretty flooded with happiness to finally get there and see it....More

Solid 1 hour undulating walk - fantastic at XL tide

This is a beautiful 50 min - 1.5 hr walk on a well maintained path through a lush forest canopy. Hiking boots not required, but solid footwear a help. The trail is undulating - more so than I anticipated. It was a tough slog for...More

Which is the better view at Skookumchuck Narrows : +XL or -XL tide? Does the whirlpool activity happen during -XL only, or also at +XL? Thanks!

I was there about 2 hours before max high tide and the standing wave had already formed at the right hand view point and people were surfing it in kayaks, so it's definitely good to watch any time from -2 to +2 hours of high... More
