The falls are one of the landmarks on the 200 kilometre Kerry Way walking tour,[1] and are encompassed in the Killarney National Park.[2] Red deer are frequently seen and heard in the area.[3]

Easy access and parking make the site popular with walkers and tour bus groups,[4] who often visit as part of the Ring of Kerry tour.

A public hiking trail stretches from the waterfall to the top of Torc Mountain.[1]
