The harsh beauty of Mariala favours low-impact nature-based activities, such as nature observation, photography and bushwalking. Birdwatching can be rewarding, with more than 140 different birds recorded in the park.
Mariala has no visitor facilities or formal walking tracks. Visitors need to be mindful of their safety in this remote park. Take a compass or a GPS unit when exploring as the vegetation is thick and terrain deceptively rugged.
A natural outlook provides views over the northern part of the park. The rocky ridges and scarps seen from here are favoured habitat for the yellow-footed rock-wallaby.
Warning: Take care and keep away from cliff edges—they can be deceptive and are often closer than you think. Sandstone may crumble unexpectedly. Please supervise children at all times and take extra care when using binoculars or cameras at these sites.
