One of Kakadu’s most iconic waterfalls, Jim Jim plunges over 200 metres into a deep, cool plunge pool surrounded by towering red cliffs. Accessible via a 4WD adventure and a rocky walk, the journey is as epic as the destination. Best visited in the dry season for a close-up swim or viewed from the air in the wet season when it roars to life.
