ITINERARY:

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.
