Twin Falls
Twin Falls is another gorgeous series of waterfalls that tumble about 180m from its escarpment into the shadowy depths below. 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 via 4wd land tour. We weren't so fortunate (despite our best intentions to do the land tour) so we eventually did a last-minute helicopter tour, which we're glad we did. 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 Twin Falls. That way the engine doesn't drown and stall midstream. For directions to get to Jim Jim Falls, see the directions on its page. 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 (again, that's why an organized land tour would be good because they'd take care of these logistics). However, swimming is strongly discouraged as saltwater crocs have been known to roam the areas from time to time.
