Depending
on the fitness level of the group and being a private charter
our guide (Usually the owner 'Genda') bypasses Twin Falls
and the crowds altogether and spends a full day exploring
the Top & Bottom of Jim Jim Falls. Very few other tour
guides know the way up to the top of Jim Jim and usually
Genda has the spot all to himself.
If
you don't feel like being very active - due to the trek
to the top of Jim Jim is hard (our grade is Difficulty Level
4) then your guide will only take you into the base of Jim
Jim and then onto Twin Falls.
