    Tips

    September 13, 2026

    Araluen Cascades an oasis of tumbling cascades and emerald pools set deep in the rainforest of Finch Hatton Gorge, framed by granite boulders, with this lookout along the track offering beautiful views over the water. Swimming here is a popular, though unofficial, pastime, with a deep pool at the base of the falls drawing visitors on hot days. Swimming is entirely at your own risk, and parts of the cascades are closed off for safety, so it’s important to stay within the marked areas and take extra care on the slippery rocks.

    Hiking

    Easy but very beautiful jungle trail to the Araluen Cascades. There are some steps, but they are well-made.
    If you want to swim in the water, you should be careful on the stones in wet weather, as they can be quite slippery.
