Good news! Maguk is reopening to visitors at 11am tomorrow, Friday 28 August 💙

A short, scenic walk through lush monsoon forest leads you to one of Kakadu's most-loved swimming spots - a beautiful seasonal waterfall and plunge pool that's a real family favourite.

A few things to pack: sunscreen, a hat, insect repellent, sturdy shoes, and plenty of food and water. You'll need an AWD or 4WD to get there, and the nearest services (food, water, fuel, Wi-Fi) are back at Cooinda Lodge, about 45 minutes away, so come prepared.

There's also traffic management in place on the access road, so please follow signage and take it easy on your way in.

🌿 The best adventures are worth the journey. Getting to Gunlom is a great adventure in itself... but reaching the spectacular natural infinity pool makes every step worthwhile. 💦☀️

There’s something pretty special about slowing down, finding a spot on the rocks and simply soaking up the beauty of Kakadu together.
