Wade through a river dwarfed by enormous cliff faces: The Narrows is one of the most spectacular and stunning treks in the world. The Riverside walk leading to The Narrows trail head is paved and accessible to all, but beyond that point the trek continues through the water. That's right, it's time to get your feet wet. The full hike through the gorge is 25 kilometres. Hikers must register at the visitor centre and only a limited number of permits are allocated each day, determined by a draw. Fit hikers can complete the 12 hour trail in one day, but we recommend taking your time and spending the night at one of the campsites in the canyon.
