The Best Things To Do In Halls Gap
Here are 31 of the best things to do in Halls Gap to add to your itinerary when visiting this beautiful part of Victoria.
1) Get Your Bearings At Boroka Lookout
One of the best ways to start your visit to Halls Gap is to stop by the Boroka Lookout.
Offering stunning views towards the east, you’ll get a great overview of Halls Gap and Lake Bellfield.
If you’re an early riser head up in the morning to witness one of the best sunrises around.

Boroka Lookout
Where: Mt Difficult Road, Halls Gap 3389
When: Always open
2) Get Up Close To Mackenzie Falls
One of the most popular Halls Gap attractions is Mackenzie Falls.
As one of the only waterfalls Halls Gap has that flows all year round, the Mackenzie waterfall is always busy with visitors.
The lookout platform for Mackenzie Falls Halls Gap is just a few hundred metres from the car park and is easily accessible for young children or people with mobility issues.
You can also choose to take the Mackenzie Falls walk through the bush, giving you great views of the side of this magnificent natural attraction.
The best way to see them, however, is by climbing down the 260 steps that take you right up to the base of the falls.
The steep climb back up to the car park can be a struggle for some people, but if you can manage it it’s well worth the effort.
There’s a deep pool of water at the bottom of the waterfall and as tempting as it is to jump in (especially on a hot day), you’ll have to resist as it isn’t safe to swim here and it’s not allowed.
Instead, feel the cool water mist against your face as you look up at the falls from below.
Mackenzie Falls, Grampians is just a 25 minute drive from Halls Gap along Mt Victory Road.

A top tip is to look out for the yellow arrows painted on the rocks to keep going in the right direction.
You can also get to the Pinnacles Halls Gap via a 4.5 km route from Wonderland Carpark, but take care as this route does include some steeper sections.
