A great challenge to make the last bit of trail to the base of Jim Jim Falls in Kakadu National Park. Rewarded with wonderful red stone cliffs and a refreshing dip in the cool pools at the end of the trail. The waterfalls were not flowing so late in the dry season but the scenery and invigorating hike were great fun.

We had a great day at the Jim Jim and twin falls. Took a tour bus as our rental 4wd doesn't allow access to this area in its agreement (worth checking in advance). In the end I don't think we would have enjoyed the self drive as the bus driver earned his money and we sat in comparative comfort. We have two children 8 and 'nearly 6'. The 8 year old did it easily. The 5 year old had to work hard and took a lot of our time. The reward at the end of both walks were worth it. The 'pool' at Jim Jim was life saving. We didn't go the extra 100 metres to the plunge pool, but the beach pool was just fine for the majority of our group. Well worth the effort and the cost.

I took a tour with Kakadu Gorge tours. The place is spectacular. The fall itself is small at this time of the year but the plunge pool is impressive.

We did a 4wd tour with Top End Explorer Tours.Yes, the walk is graded as difficult. The 5 of us on this tour were all over the age of 60 with 1 over 70... so if you are fit and agile with a good sense of balance don't be put off. Most of the walk is in shade as well, so even on the 38 degree day that we were there, it wasn't that bad. The 900 metre walk took about 50 minutes with some stops along the way while our guide imparted information about the flora and crocs. Closer to the falls the rocks get bigger so I had to put my camera away so I could use both hands to climb up or down them.Even though there wasn't any water coming over the falls the scenery is, as I overheard someone describe, "wow...awesomeness". You feel so small standing at the base of the towering cliffs.

Fantastic viewing and swimming when you get there, but the walk is difficult over large and slippery rocks: not so much aerobically challenging, but good leg muscles and balance is essential. Once there, the swimming is a good opportunity to relax and refresh for the challenging return walk.

It was a difficult 60km road to the Jim Jim falls with an interesting 4 wheel drive over sand, rocks and a short river crossing. A short boat ride and a 1 km walk over boulders wasn't too difficult to navigate for those with reasonable mobility.

Great walk but quite difficult especialy towards the end as the rocks are extremely big. The swimming hole is spectacular and very cold but great for a cool down after the walk up there.

After a quiet a trip on a dirt road, you do have to walk & climb to reach the falls. The small creek along the route that you need to climb looks tempting for a swim but be carefull, the creek is not fed by waterfall so crocs might be around despite the efforts of the governement to keep the place croc free.And with a climb, we mean you have climb over big(er) & small(er) rocks and follow the signs. Unfortunately the waterfall was dry when we got there.

We really enjoyed the rock-hopping adventure to reach these falls! Upon reaching the falls, we enjoyed a bracing swim (how is the water so cold up here?!). You can actually swim all the way under the falls, however be careful as you cross slippery rocks.Another example of NT's natural, breathtaking beauty.Pack your picnic and team up this experience with Twin Falls for an excellent day out. We did Twin Falls first, which involved some fun 4WD'ing enroute.

It's important to be aware that this walk is quite challenging and not for someone with mobility or fitness issues.
