Jim Jim Plunge Pool

Jim Jim plunge pool walk

Walk through monsoon forest and climb over boulders to a deep natural pool surrounded by dramatic 200 m cliffs.

When the falls are in full flood during the tropical summer, they can only be seen from the air on a scenic flight.

In the dry season the falls stop running and you can hike into the heart of the gorge and sit in the shadow of these spectacular cliffs.

2 km return | 1-2 hours

See it: June to November, 4WD only

4WD advice: Turn east off the Kakadu Highway 43 km south of the Bowali Visitor Centre. Engage 4WD, travel 60 km. Allow two hours one-way. Please note speed limits and drive safely. The last 10 km of track includes areas of soft sand.

This is a seasonal access site and is closed during tropical summer. Please check the Kakadu Access report for up to date information.

A park pass is required to enter Kakadu National Park. Save time on your holiday and purchase your Kakadu park pass online before you leave home.
