Litchfield Day Tour

Litchfield National Park, located about an hour’s drive from Darwin City, is a renowned destination with stunning natural landscapes, monsoon rainforests, waterfalls, and plunge pools.

During the trip, there will be a stop at the Adelaide River. There, you can participate in the renowned Jumping Crocodile Cruise or visit the Fogg Dam Conservation Centre, which is located on the traditional lands of the Limilngan-Wulna people. The centre is known for its diverse wildlife, including native birds, turtles, water pythons, and saltwater crocodiles.

We see ancient Magnetic Termite Mounds, some of the biggest in the Top End. We also have the opportunity to relax and swim in Litchfield’s beautiful natural plunge pools, spas, and whirlpools at Buley Rockholes or Wangi Falls.

We then visit Florence Falls or Tolmer Falls, known for its stunning cascades and beautiful rocky scenery.

After a day of relaxation and adventure in the tropical water wonderland, we returned to Darwin feeling rejuvenated.
