Visiting Maguk Falls Kakadu National Park

Maguk Falls in Kakadu National Park is a pristine natural waterfall and plunge pool, accessible via a 4WD track and 1km bush walk.

Things to do in Kakadu National Park

The 14km unsealed road used to reach Maguk Falls is suitable for 4WD only. There is a moderate 1km walk/hike from the carpark to the plunge pool. 

Things to do in Kakadu National Park

Maguk is much easier to access than Jim Jim Falls, making it a more popular option for park visitors.

The plunge pool is croc-free, and warmer than Jim Jim, making it a great option for swimming.

Things to do in Kakadu National Park

Swimming out to the waterfall and jumping off the rocks is popular, however it is quite a long swim and many visitors choose to bring a pool noodle if their swimming stamina is not fantastic.

Visiting Jim Jim Falls, Kakadu National Park

Jim Jim Falls are the tallest waterfalls in Kakadu National Park. Visit them by foot in the dry season or view them by air in the wet.

Things to do in Kakadu National Park

At 200m high, the mighty Jim Jim Falls are also bigger than all of the waterfalls at Litchfield and Nitmiluk National Parks in the Northern Territory.

Jim Jim Falls and nearby Twin Falls are special places for their Aboriginal custodians. They believe that Nayuhyungki, the creation ancestors, travelled across this area. 

During the summer months the falls are only able to be seen by air, however, during the dry season, it’s possible to walk through monsoon forest and clamber over boulders to reach the base of the falls.

Before starting on the drive to Jim Jim Falls, check the daily access report to ensure they are open to visitors.

It’s not an easy journey to make. The 50km road into the start of the walk is 4WD access only, is unsealed and often corrugated. It is a narrow, winding road that involves driving across a creek with a firm concrete base that can be more than 0.4 metres deep. A snorkel is highly recommended – we managed the drive without one but it was a hairy drive.

At the car part, there are basic toilet facilities and picnic tables.

Things to do in Kakadu National Park Things to do in Kakadu National Park

From the car park, it’ is a 2km return walk to a deep pool. 2km might not sound like much but it’s a really tough walk, particularly towards the end with massive sharp boulders to navigate. Allow a least an hour in each direction. The rocks and boulders can be extremely slippery, so sturdy footwear is essential.

Things to do in Kakadu National Park

The plunge pool at the base of Jim Jim falls is extremely deep and cold. Drownings have occurred here, and swimming is not recommended. 

Things to do in Kakadu National Park

Bring energy foods and snacks, plus several litres of water. Avoid walking in the hottest part of the day.

Things to do in Kakadu National Park

While there are generally no crocs in the waterfall, be aware that there may be crocs in the area at all times so be cautious and follow directions on the signs.

Adelaide River Jumping Crocodile Cruises: Spectacular Jumping Crocodile Cruise

See the Aussie saltwater croc up close on the Adelaide River jumping crocodile cruises. 

A trip to the Top End isn’t complete without spotting one of our most fearsome apex predators – the Australian Saltwater Crocodile. 

Jumping crocodile cruises

The crocodile was facing extinction 40 years ago, after 50 years of extensive hunting for their skin. In the early 1970s, the number of crocodiles in the wild had dwindled to as low as 3000.

Jumping crocodile cruises

Crocodile hunting was banned in the early 1970s, the result of pressure from conservation groups, and numbers since then have recovered to sustainable numbers. 

One of the best ways to see wild crocodiles is on one of the jumping crocodile cruises run by Spectacular Crocodile Cruises.  

Jumping crocodile cruises

The river cruise is an educational adventure, where guests learn about Croc biology, territorial habits and their value to the ecosystem.

Jumping crocodile cruises

You’ll see not only the largest saltwater crocodiles up close, but some of north Australia’s most interesting birdlife as well.

Jumping crocodile cruises

Tours are scheduled daily at 9am, 11am, 1pm & 3pm, are scheduled to last an hour.

Jumping crocodile cruises

There are a few groups Adelaide River jumping crocs tours, however the Spectacular Crocodile Cruises is the only one that is Aboriginal owned.
