Jim Jim Falls is an Iconic Natural Wonder of Kakadu

Jim Jim Falls, one of Kakadu’s most powerful waterfalls, plunges 200 metres from the Arnhem Land escarpment into a deep plunge pool below. Reaching it requires a 2km walk through sandy and rocky terrain—perfect for adventurous travellers with a 4WD. In the dry season, enjoy a swim beneath towering cliffs; in the wet, witness the falls in full force from a scenic flight. Nearest services are at Cooinda Lodge (1.5 hours away), so come prepared with essentials like water, food, walking shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent.
