Highlights
Twin Falls is an exciting spot on Cape York Peninsula where two waterfalls flow side by side! After a day of bumpy four-wheel driving, you can take a refreshing swim in the cool waters and enjoy the sound of the waterfalls crashing down. It's like nature's water park!
Camping is available nearby at Eliot Falls, so you can stay overnight and explore more of the area. Be sure to book your campsite early, as this popular spot fills up fast during peak times. The walking trails around the falls let you see even more of the beautiful scenery.

What You Need To know
Guidelines
- Always do some research before heading out for your journey. Visit the local visitor information centre for the most up to date information.
- Stay safe and get the most out of your visit by preparing for natural hazards and other outdoor risks. You are responsible for your own safety and the safety of those in your care.
- Wear suitable footwear and ensure to wear appropriate clothing to protect yourself from the elements when outside exploring.
- Always enjoy waterfalls from trails and marked viewing points. Do not climb over barriers as cliff edges and slippery surfaces may cause injury or death.
- Only swim where permitted. Don’t jump from cliff edges into water bodies.
- Swimming near or under waterfalls can be dangerous due to strong currents, submerged hidden rock ledges and other dangers. The force of a waterfall can be incredibly strong and unfortunately, many people have drowned. Follow warning signs and take caution.

- Always stay on the marked tracks where possible. Never climb fences, they are there for your own safety.
