Tour Litchfield National Park

Litchfield National Park is a renowned tourist destination about an hour’s drive from Darwin City. Visitors can explore stunning natural landscapes, lush rainforests, beautiful waterfalls, and pristine plunge pools.

During the journey, there will be a stop at the Adelaide River, where visitors have the opportunity to participate in the renowned Jumping Crocodile Cruise (optional additional cost) or visit the Fogg Dam Conservation Centre on the traditional lands of the Limilngan-Wulna people, who effectively oversee and preserve the reserve. This centre is an extraordinary location to explore the diverse wildlife of the Top End, housing various species of native birds, turtles, water pythons, and saltwater crocodiles.

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

Afterwards, we visit Florence Falls or Tolmer Falls, known for their stunning waterfalls and breathtaking views carved into the steep rocky escarpment.

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

These lands have been significant for the Koongurrukun, Marranuggu, Werat, and Warray Aboriginal people for thousands of years. The diverse terrain features pristine rockpools, flowing waterfalls, and a habitat for native birds and other Australian wildlife, making it an excellent photographer destination.

This Litchfield day tour offers a comprehensive experience of the park, including visits to iconic natural locations, learning about the historical landscape, and enjoying the beautiful water pools in the area.

The floodplains of the Adelaide River are home to a diverse range of bird species from around the globe, along with Black Flying Foxes and Bull Sharks. We take a boat ride to observe the well-known residents of this water system – Saltwater Crocodiles.

Visitors can observe apex predators in their natural habitat, including the spectacle of crocodiles propelling themselves out of the water with their powerful tails.

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