Crystal Shower Falls walk is a short but stunning waterfall walk in Dorrigo that takes you behind the waterfall itself. It's easily combined with Walk with the Birds boardwalk.

Part of the Wonga walk circuit, Crystal Shower Falls walk starts from Dorrigo Rainforest Centre. Lush rainforest towers above you on the walk to the falls, and you might hear the call of fruit doves and other rainforest birds.

Once you reach the falls, a suspension bridge carries you across the valley in front of the falls for fantastic views of the waterfall dropping into the pool below. A short side track leads behind the waterfall into a rocky cavern, where you can look through the veil of falling water.

If you're feeling energetic, continue to Tristania Falls and loop back to the Rainforest Centre on Wonga walk. For a shorter walk, you can also reach Crystal Shower Falls from The Glade picnic area.
