Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve

If you are not fairly fit don't go. Very steep up and down but quite well paved. Don't just stop at the top. Path continues down to seaward side. Well worth the hike. You may even see whales. Approx.walking time there and back 1 hour.

Shearwater birds were currently not "in season". Views are great even without much wildlife. Still a good birding area and fully enjoyed visit.

An incredible place to visit. Wonderful view of the coast and a great whale watching spot. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that some of the signage is quite faded and difficult to read. A shame as it's a great educational opportunity.

Sehr schöner Spot mit einer tollen Aussicht. Auch ein toller Ort um schöne Bilder zu schießen. Speziell zum Sonnenauf- und Untergang.

Great for walking
Walk to the top look back over coffs harbour good photos
See mutton bird holes
Walk down the other side to the water
Steep walking

Very pretty view at sunset. Relatively easy climb but very steep in parts and very cold when windy.

Absolutely stunning!
We went on a family walk and it was definitely worth it. Gorgeous views, perfect walking length for a laid back weekend adventure
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the fact there were a few dead pigeons that had been left at the entry which was an upsetting sight

It’s a steep walk, definitely not wheelchair accessible. Good views and you can see dolphins in the water and nesting bird on the way up.

One of the nicest vantage points in Coffs, with great views and information on the shearwaters that migrate here. Not a lot of birds around during the day, but the views are worth coming for. The walk can be steep (wind is also very strong) so bring proper shoes and water.

Picturesque place. I recommend the walk from marina to the island's top (not long, but little bit steep). The lookout offers very nice view. The island is home of the Wedge-tailed shearwaters and is full of their burrows. So be careful where you step.

Has some spectacular views of the little islands around Muttonbird Island. Even some info on the Muttonbirds and you can see the holes they create for their young.
The path is a little steep at the beginning, with no hand rails on the way up. There is a chair half way up if the climb gets a little much for your legs. But the views are worth it, especially on a clear day.

Fantastic views when on top of the island but you have to be pretty fit to walk up the hill worth it when you get ther

The steep climb is worth the view. The birds are very well hidden but some colonies can be seen on the rocks near the entrance.

Nice nature reserve, though mostly grass and low lying bushes. Might see a mutton bird if you are lucky. Also has a whale watching station.

Rookery for Shearwater (mutton birds) well formed walking track. Steep climb in places. Fitness level moderate. I can recommend the National Parks and Wildlife guided tours in Summer when the shearwater chicks are active. Sunset tour the adult birds return to their nests. Spectacular photos can be taken of Coffs Harbour from the top of Muttonbird Island.

Excellent views from the top of this place, recommend the hike for anyone who can handle the steep climb

Every one should do this climb if you can. The view is amazing. Then walk across the top & down the other side. Sit for a while & take in the wonderful views. I try to do this walk a couple of times a week &never fail to be amazed by the changing scenery &bird life. Just do it.

Beautiful views, paved track, starts with stairs, steep incline, not friendly for prams or walking difficulties.

When visiting the little harbour in Coffs Harbour make the effort to climb the small hill of muttonbird island - views incredible

Amazing walk! Begins with a steep paved path up to a mesh viewing ledge, which continues over the top of the hill. On the other side we were lucky enough to see whales breaching. Highly recommended
