Twin Falls
Twin Falls is another gorgeous series of waterfalls that tumble about 180m from its escarpment into the shadowy depths below. Visiting this waterfall can be combined with a tour of Jim Jim Falls. If you go on your own, however, you'll need a 4wd vehicle with a snorkel so you can cross the often-deep Jim Jim Creek to get to this waterfall. You'll probably want to give yourself at least 3 hours each way. From there, you'll either have to raft or canoe your way upstream to the beach by the gorgeous falls. However, swimming is strongly discouraged as saltwater crocs have been known to roam the areas from time to time. Generally, rental car companies prohibit you to drive the Jim Jim Falls Road even if you hire a high clearance 4wd. So your best bet is to book a tour. But you might want to check on the road conditions before you even make a booking. Otherwise, you might get switched on the tour and visit Maguk (or Barramundi Falls) instead, which you can visit on your own if you hire a 4wd. Like Jim Jim Falls, you'll have to time your visit if you want to see this waterfall flowing while you view it from its base. You'll want to take the all-day or multi-day land tour that leaves from Cooinda/Jabiru or Darwin, respectively. Otherwise, you can take a chopper or airplane flight over both this waterfall as well as Jim Jim Falls. Helicopter flights generally leave from Jabiru.
