Product information
Embark on a journey to the breathtaking Litchfield National Park, renowned for its spectacular waterfalls, crystal-clear pools, and diverse landscapes.
As we explore this natural wonder, you’ll be captivated by sandstone pillars, panoramic floodplain views, and the vibrant plant and animal life that call this park home. With various bushland walking tracks offering some of the best lookout views, this tour promises an unforgettable experience of one of Australia's most beautiful regions.
Just over an hour’s drive from Darwin, we depart the city and head towards Litchfield National Park, a tropical haven surrounded by lush rainforests offering a refreshing escape from the heat of the Top End. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to join the optional Jumping Crocodile Cruise on the Adelaide River, where you’ll witness these incredible creatures leaping from the water. Alternatively, we’ll visit the Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, located within the traditional lands of the Limilngan-Wulna people. Here, you’ll discover the abundant wildlife of the Top End, including a wide array of bird species, turtles, water pythons, and, of course, the iconic Saltwater Crocodile. We will stop in the charming township of Batchelor, where guests have the opportunity to purchase lunch to take with them into the park.
Afterward, we’ll visit the impressive Magnetic Termite Mounds, a true marvel of nature. These towering mounds, aligned with the earth’s magnetic field, are an engineering wonder and a must-see attraction in the park. Following this, we’ll cool off at one of Litchfield’s famous natural plunge pools. Choose from the serene Buley Rockholes or the stunning Wangi Falls, both perfect spots to take a refreshing dip amidst the tropical surroundings. No visit to Litchfield is complete without marveling at the awe-inspiring Florence Falls or Tolmer Falls. These thundering waterfalls cascade beautifully against the rocky escarpment, creating a sight and sound that will leave you in awe.
After a day spent exploring these incredible natural wonders and immersing yourself in the tranquil beauty of Litchfield National Park, we’ll make our way back to Darwin, where you’ll return relaxed and rejuvenated, having experienced one of the Northern Territory’s most stunning landscapes.
