Little Aire Falls

Visited after a few days of rain, the waterfall looked great, it's a beautiful walk, fern city, streams, birds, giant old gum trees and the odd black snail. The falls are visible from a viewing platform some distance away, you can't get to the base of the falls easily if at all, (very steep and sketchy terrain, especially when wet). Track was very muddy and slippery after recent rains, so if you plan on going when wet good waterproof footwear helps. The walk is about 5km or 2.5 to 3 hrs return, little kids might struggle, middle aged overweight adults might also struggle, but with a few short rests to recover along the way it's doable. Just give yourself plenty of time and daylight.

A very pleasant walk to a lookout looking across to the Falls. Suggest an afternoon walk to get the best light on the Falls. Sign at car park is confusing, distance to the Little Aire Falls is 2.6km each way. I did the return walk, taking photos and did the circuit walk around to the Triplet Falls in 2 hrs 40 minutes, total 6.69km. From the car park, track descends steps and little aire Falls walk branches off to the left. Muddy in parts, the worst section is after the third board walk creek crossing until the track picks up an old tramway formation (c 0.8 to 1.3km) from car park. Final 1.3km is mostly on more gravelly path. About 380 m total ascent and total descent for complete trip. Beautiful forest.

This was one of those walks where I should have read the sign! It took me nearly 2.5 hours. The old wooden sign says 2.5km I think and the newer one say 4.5km but my phone tracked over 7km as a looo and in my experience this felt more accurate. It was extremely wet and I was grateful for good comfy waterproof boots. Lots of steps and reasonably difficult but well worth the view at the end. At least all the rain made for a good waterfall.

A beautiful hike, a little more challenging than Triplet Falls but some beautiful scenery along the way to make it worth while. Be sure to pick your time of day as I was there around lunch time and the sun UV made it difficult to capture photos. All in all was still impressed and would recommend

A beautiful hike with less traffic than Triplet Falls (both start from the same point in the car park). It's moderately difficult, more so than Triplet Falls - I'm unfit and had to stop a few times to catch my breath, but anyone with good or better fitness would find it easy I think! Take the time to look up at some of the massive gumtrees along the way.

Be aware that Little Aire Falls is not 2.3km return like the sign at the car park says, it's closer to 6km return. The track has a couple of forks so take a mental note of which route to return on your way back, but all up it's an easy track to navigate. A few muddy spots.

The falls are viewed from a platform and while it would be nice to get down closer to the base, the view is still absolutely beautiful. The walk itself is worth it for the thick forest.

The carpark has picnic tables, rainwater and long drop toilets.

If you visiting Otway tree top, you don’t want to miss this beautiful hiking place. It’s one of the good tracks I have been too in recent times. It’s mix of a track in a beautiful and mesmerising rain forest. Walk along side the beautiful trees and lovely fauna along the way. The track is mix of both steps, highs and low pathway. Track itself is approx 2.5km long one way but it’s worth doing it and watching the amazing fall. Watch out for a weather conditions before you go for to do this hiking. Forest is pretty dense and not ideal for rainy day. On your way to fall you’ll come across few little tiny water ways which look awesome. For nature and bird lovers you will hear serine sounds of trees and birds in the background, which truly is relaxing and away from city noise. Worth giving a try and watch this magnificent water fall.

Loved this walk and the Falls were beautiful, I actually liked this one better then Triplet Falls, I think it was because no one walked the trail, they all did the triplet Falls walk instead, I did both 😁 well worth it. Do this one first and the other is a loop.

A pretty big walk to the falls (about 5km return). A platform high above the valley let's you get a great view of the falls below.

My son David and I saw this picturesque waterfall in April 2014. It was the first time we had seen it and the walk in was well worth the effort. It had rained overnight and the earthy smell of the vegetation filled the air. The waterfall was in full flow and the sound of the tumbling water resonated through the fern gulley. We allowed about an hour each way so that we could marvel at the tree ferns, the moss covered trees that towered high into the canopy and the beautiful native birds that flitted from side to side along the walking track. Many types of fungi thrived in the damp earth, some the size of a twenty cent coin and others the size of dinner plates. Take your camera. You will not be disappointed.

Well worth the 2.5km walk to get there. Make sure you have good footwear during the wet season

Very picturesque waterfall. Great hike in the cold and rain.

A great walk but quite tough. Loads of ups and down steps. Falls are delightful.

A decent hike.

A very nice place to visit with family and friends.

It it’s 50 minutes walking

Wer sich die Triplet Falls anschaut, sollte auch den Abzweig zu den Little Aire Falls nehmen. Meiner Meinung nach sind die Little Aire Falls beeindruckender und schöner. Wir haben auf unserem Weg dorthin keinen Menschen getroffen, da die meisten sich sicher denken, ach wer will schon kleine Wasserfälle sehen?! Das ist aber ein Trugschluss. Die Sicht ist super und nicht so zugewachsen wie bei den Triple Falls. Der Weg dorthin ist zwar länger aber trotzdem einfach. Es lohnt sich, denn am Ende wartet eine super schöne Plattform mit Blick auf den Wasserfall.
