Fairy Falls is a picturesque waterfall on Dowah Creek, tucked within tropical rainforest near the popular Crystal Cascades area outside Cairns, Far North Queensland. Reached by an unmarked but short track (roughly 0.

8 km return) from the Crystal Cascades car park, the walk takes under an hour and winds through a shaded rainforest canopy alongside the creek.

The main falls drop approximately 2–5 metres into a deep plunge pool set within a narrow gorge, its walls draped in moss, ferns, and gnarly tree roots that lend the spot an otherworldly atmosphere.

Downstream, Dowah Creek tumbles over boulders forming smaller cascades that feed a shallow pool. Swimming is available at the falls, and the water is cold and clear.

Rocks near the falls can be slippery, particularly after rain, so sturdy footwear is advisable for the boulder scramble at the trail's end.
