The waterfall descends from an elevation of 64 metres (210 ft) above sea level via a series of segmented tiers that range in height between 9.8–15 metres (32–49 ft).[3] Accessed by sealed road, the falls are found near the northern boundary of the national park, approximately 80 kilometres (50 mi) south of Darwin.

A sign post at Florence Falls mentions two walks for hiking. The 'Shady Creek Walk' is graded easy with a distance of 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) return. The 'Florence Creek Walk' is also graded easy with a distance of 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) return. The Florence Falls plunge pool is listed as "great for a refreshing swim" besides the usual safety warnings.
