Lesmurdie Falls Sunset Guided Hike

2 hours

Beginner

Tour Overview

We invite you to experience the best nature-based views of Perth City as the sun says farewell for another day, on this charismatic 4km guided hike of Lesmurdie Falls and the winding trails.

A short 30 minutes from the Perth CBD, and nestled in the heart of Kalamunda, this iconic gem showcases one of the more spectacular waterfalls in the Darling Range escarpment while carving space for you to enjoy a bite-sized chunk of adventure on the trails.

With two fantastic view platforms at the top of the falls, and the opportunity to marvel at the beauty of the falls from below, there is an abundance of opportunities to absorb your natural surroundings, before meandering to the hidden lookout to sip a naked spritz and press pause as the sun sets over the ocean.

What our guests are saying

Sunbaked shrubbery stretches our forever
What a magnificent hike today with some nature loving hikers. Lesmurdie Falls is absolutely one that can’t be missed.
Sunbaked shrubbery stretches out forever under a brilliant blue sky. Rocky red dirt inclines testing our focus and endurance. Overlooking towering gumtrees & the city at the top of the hill. Meandering down towards peaceful sounds of the flowing stream and waterfall. Such diversity and beauty that fills the heart and soul.

Beautiful hike, waterfall and sunset was the highlight
The guide (Lindsay) was lovely. The sunset nibbles and drinks location was amazing. The local history Lindsay told us during the hike was fab.

A wonderful Sunday Hike
The guides were very knowledgeable about flora, fauna and first-nations people history. I learned a lot and had a wonderful time. They set a good pace and were very aware of the ability of the guests. A wonderful way to spend a few hours on a Sunday afternoon. We will definitely go again.
