Crocodiles present in all NT waterwaysSwim only at croc-monitored locations
A long, deep swimming hole on the Jatbula Trail with calm turquoise water flanked by sandstone cliffs. One of the trail's overnight camping spots. The water is refreshingly cool even in the build-up. Accessible only on the multi-day Jatbula walk.
Plan your visit
In a national park, you'll usually need an NT Parks Pass, and campsites & some walks must be booked in advance.
