Gunlom Falls

Kakadu National Park

Gunlom is one of Kakadu National Park's most cherished attractions, famously featured in Crocodile Dundee and located on Jawoyn country. Visitors can embark on a hike to the peaceful plunge pools at the summit, where stunning panoramic views of the park unfold. For a more leisurely experience, you can swim beneath the dramatic cascade of the waterfall at the base, surrounded by a pristine sandy beach and crystal-clear waters. Top Pools (Gunlom Plunge Pools Above the Falls) A steep 15–20‑minute climb up the new stone‑stepped track leads to the famed upper rock pools—a series of clear, terraced “infinity” pools that spill gently over smooth sandstone. Here, visitors can soak in waist‑deep water while gazing across Kakadu’s vast stone country, woodlands, and winding waterways. The elevated perch makes these pools a favourite for sunrise and sunset, rewarding the effort with panoramic views, solitude, and some of the park’s most iconic photo opportunities.
