A hidden gem waterfall in Nitmiluk National Park that you can swim under. Because it's remote and requires a longer walk, it doesn't get the crowds of Katherine Gorge. Best in the wet season (Dec-Mar) when water flow is strongest. The walk itself is spectacular.
Plan your visit
In a national park, you’ll usually need an NT Parks Pass, and campsites & some walks must be booked in advance.

Each location is scored from existing data: visitor ratings & review volume (social proof), official verification, amenities, safety warnings, access friction (permits/4WD), and how fresh the info is.
We show a score once a place has at least 5 visitor reviews. Until then the facts on this page come from official sources and site data — no score is invented.
