Tour Litchfield National Park

Experience the stunning diversity of the Northern Territory by joining us on our one-day Litchfield National Park Tour.

The lands in this area have been significant to the Koongurrukun, Marrannuggu, Werat, and Warray Aboriginal people for thousands of years. The diverse terrain offers pristine rockpools, flowing waterfalls, and a habitat for native birds and other Australian wildlife, making it a great place for photographers.

On this Litchfield day tour, visitors can explore the park’s iconic locations of natural beauty, learn about the historic landscape, and enjoy opportunities to swim in exquisite water pools throughout the area. 

The floodplains of the Adelaide River are home to various species of birdlife from around the globe. Additionally, Black Flying Foxes and Bull Sharks can be observed in this important water system. We embark on a boat ride to encounter the renowned residents of the area, the Saltwater Crocodiles.

Witnessing these apex predators up close in their natural habitat is an unforgettable experience. The spectacle of the crocodile propelling itself out of the water with its powerful tail should not be missed.

Our tours of Litchfield National Park offer the option to exclude the cruise if you have already done it. In that case, you can join your guide to explore the nearby Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve.

• Explore the natural beauty of Litchfield National Park, known for its majestic waterfalls.
• Visitors can enjoy a beautiful waterfall surrounded by lush rainforest at Florence Falls.
• You can swim in the natural plunge pools, spas, and whirlpools of Buley Rockhole or Wangi Falls.
• Take a cruise on the Adelaide River with the Spectacular Jumping Crocodile Cruise and witness the amazing sight of these mammoth predators leaping into the air (optional extra).
• Witness the impressive size of the magnetic termite mounds in the Top End, which have stood for over a century. 

The reserve managed by the Limilngan-Wulna People is a notable location for observing the wetlands and learning about the significance of the Adelaide River floodplains to various species of freshwater wildlife.

Visitors have the option to join their guide on a scenic walk through the pristine habitat if they are not taking the Crocodile Cruise. There are many opportunities to spot rare birds, water pythons, and freshwater turtles. Crocodiles can also be seen in this wetland system. 

The sandstone plateau of the Tabletop Range creates spectacular tropical waterfalls, including Florence Falls and Tolmer Falls. Visitors can either walk down the steps to swim in the swimming hole at Florence Falls or enjoy the view of Tolmer Falls from the lookout above. 

The Buley Rockholes, located in scenic bushland, provide several levels for swimming and relaxing in the shallow waters. The waters here are exceptionally clean, offering a spa-like experience. The faster-flowing cascades can even provide a natural massage.

Alternatively, we may visit the iconic plunge pool at the base of the astonishing Wangi Falls. This idyllic swimming hole set in magnificent natural beauty will leave you cooled and refreshed as we continue our journey through the park.*

*Itineraries may vary to adapt to seasonal changes, and occasionally, spots in the parks close or do not allow swimming. As safety is our top priority, we plan accordingly to ensure our guests have the most fun and best experience possible while on Darwin Litchfield tours. 

We pause to observe the natural phenomenon of the Magnetic Termite Mounds as another example of ingenious adaptations in nature.
