Itinerary
Description for a day trip from Darwin to Litchfield.
Litchfield National Park, located approximately an hour’s drive from Darwin City, is a world-class attraction renowned for its magnificent natural landscapes, lush monsoon rainforests, stunning waterfalls, and pristine plunge pools.
During the journey, there will be a stop at the Adelaide River. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in the optional Jumping Crocodile Cruise or visit the Fogg Dam Conservation Centre, located on the traditional lands of the Limilngan-Wulna people. The centre is well-known for its diverse wildlife, including various species of birds, turtles, water pythons, and saltwater crocodiles.
We visit century-old monolithic Magnetic Termite Mounds, some of the largest in the Top End. Additionally, we enjoy swimming in the beautiful natural plunge pools, spas, and whirlpools found at Buley Rockholes or Wangi Falls in Litchfield.
Afterwards, we visit Florence Falls or Tolmer Falls, impressive waterfalls carved into steep rocky cliffs.
After a day of relaxation and adventure in the tropical water wonderland, we return to Darwin feeling refreshed.
