Araluen Cascades is a waterfall on Finch Hatton Creek within Eungella National Park, Queensland, sitting in a pocket of humid subtropical rainforest.

The cascade drops somewhere between 4 and 15 metres — sources vary — into a deep, clear swimming hole carved by the force of the falling water, surrounded by mossy boulders and large washed-up tree trunks. The site is reached via a 2.

8-kilometre return walk (roughly one to one-and-a-half hours) from the Finch Hatton Gorge car park. The trail winds through rainforest over leaf-littered dirt, tree roots, and uneven ground, with an undulating but manageable gradient.

Araluen Cascades sits along the route to the Wheel of Fire, a longer destination further up the gorge.

Parts of the cascades area are subject to restricted access due to safety hazards; slippery rocks, variable water depths, and fast-moving currents are genuine risks, particularly after rainfall.
