About The Jim Jim Falls Tour
On arriving at the falls, there is a short easy walk to the edge of the escarpment with a magnificent view. The 200m high gorge is a sight to be seen but choose your timing as the flow can vary throughout the year.
Here, there is a white sandy beach to relax, and a beautiful shallow freshwater pool where you can take a refreshing dip.
For the adventurous, there is the option to continue further with some rock climbing involved to get you to the main plunge pool above. We rate the level of difficulty an 8/10.
After swimming, we will take you for a short drive to a picturesque location for lunch.
Your tour includes fully guided commentary along the way, on the flora, fauna, and indigenous history.
Jim Jim Falls is about an 8/10 difficulty, so it does suit a good level of fitness. There are uneven surfaces and boulder climbing involved. We do not recommend this 2km walk for anyone with knee, hip, or similar problems. If there is a struggle towards the gorge, there is a relaxing spot 300mt in, where you can sit and wait till the other guests return. You can see the 200mt high fall area from this point. Remember the further you go, if struggling, the more you must walk back. So don’t push your limits.
Food & Refreshments for The Tour
Lunch includes BBQ chicken, potato, fresh garden salads, fruit juice, tea and coffee. Iced water is supplied to refill your water bottles. Fresh fruit is supplied for morning snacks.
If you have any dietary requirements, please kindly advise us at least 48 hours prior to the tour.

EXCELLENT Based on 114 reviews Karla Charlotte Fischer2024-10-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a fantastic tour to Maguk falls! Thank you so much Jody for taking us on a trip to your ‘office’ and showing us your beautiful backyard. We had such a great day out despite the very hot weather and we enjoyed every minute of it. You kept us safe, well hydrated and informed and the drive to Maguk in your Toyota Prado couldn’t have been more fun (corrugations? bring it on! Haha ;-) ). The scenery at Maguk is simply breathtaking and we were lucky enough to have the place all to ourselves. Swimming in the crystal clear waters of Maguk beneath the waterfall is a memory we will treasure forever. Thank you so much Jody for being our guide to explore this Kakadu gem! We had a blast! If you are looking for an expertly guided tour to explore Kakadu National Park, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Never Never Safari Tours, I promise you will not regret it! Ole Rößler2024-10-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dear Jody, Thanks so much for being our guide. We had such a great day and it felt like exploring the beautiful landscape with a best friend. The tour was so much better than expected and we made memories that will last forever. We would have also loved to explore Jim Jim falls with you but we were a little bit too late as Jim Jim was already closed for the season, but Maguk was the perfect choice for that hot day. Thanks so much for showing us your ‘office’ (Maguk). We will be back to explore Jim Jim falls with you hopefully next season. Many thanks!

Mum and I did an amazing Sunset tour of Ubirr - Jody took care of us like family which we truly appreciated. Fantastic tour which we will never forget. Simone2024-10-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic Maguk tour this morning with Jody, such a natural guide, possessing the true spirit of the outback. Later in the day the Ubirr Sunset tour was magic, amazing examples of indigenous rock art and a gorgeous sunset. Thank you Jody for going above and beyond in making it such a great and memorable experience. Davina Miller2024-09-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chizo’s knowledge of the area was great to tap into and he looked after us really well throughout the day. Our 15 yr old said “this is the best thing I’ve done in my life”. Jim Jim Falls Gorge is a magical place to swim. Victor Scherini2024-09-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Chizo and his tour of Jim Jim Falls. Friendly and easy going with great knowledge of Kakadu. Lunch and snacks were tasty and perfect for the trip. The walk is challenging in parts but so worth getting there. rbsimmo2024-09-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had booked the Maguk Tour with Never Never Safari Tours Online. We were promptly picked up at 07:00 from our accommodation by Jody. I could tell from the moment we got into the Toyota Prada this was going to be a fun trip. Jody has a bubbly and vibrant personality and we enjoyed her knowledge of the are and the stories she told on the way to Maguk. We were joined by another 2 ladies so there were only 4 of us on this trip plus Jody. The day started off a bit sad when a mother wallaby and her joey were killed on the road so Jody stopped the car and removed them both to the side of the road placing mums arm around the joeys which was such a moving moment for us all . It showed me the love she had for animals. After we all regrouped Jody was back at it story telling having us laughing again and we soon arrived at Maguk. The walk is very manageable but I was glad i had my hiking shoes on as you go over alot of rocks and little water ways. The scenery was magnificent and many opportunities to take breathtaking photos. Once we arrived i was in awe of this place. So tranquil and serene. The waterfall was flowing and there was only a couple of other people swimming so it was not over crowded at all. The water was much warmer than I thought it would be for a waterhole and i was the the only one that went swimming. I knew there was no crocodiles as the other people had been swimming a while so i bravely went in. Jody did assure me it was safe as the rangers inspect the waterholes prior to opening them up for swimming. Fresh fruit was supplied which was lovely and refreshing. We had a wonderful day and i can highly recommend Never Never Safari Tours. Was so worth it . Thanks Jody for a fun day.
