Jim Jim Falls is one of Kakadu National Park’s most spectacular natural wonders!
Towering cliffs frame this dramatic waterfall, which plunges into a stunning pool at the base of the escarpment. Accessible via a 4WD track and walking trail, Jim Jim Falls is best visited in the dry season when the water cascades in all its glory. Surrounded by ancient sandstone cliffs and lush forest, it’s a must-see destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers exploring the Top End. 💦🥾
