ITINERARY:

Journey with us to the Litchfield National Park, home to some of Australia’s
most spectacular and stunning waterfalls. Enjoy the breathtaking views, iconic
magnetic termite mounds and crystal clear pools. Guests will have the
opportunity to journey through some of Australia’s most diverse landscapes,
sandstone pillars, panoramic floodplain views, picturesque waterfalls, and
bustling plant and animal life. There are several bushland walking tracks with
the best lookout views the Litchfield National Park has to offer.

Allow us to show you one of our favourite places on earth... Litchfield
National Park. Just over an hour's drive from the city. We leave Darwin and
make our way towards the world-class Litchfield National Park surrounded by
thick pockets of tropical rainforest, it offers cool respite from the Top End
heat.

Stopping along the way you’ll have an opportunity to jump on the famous
Jumping Crocodile Cruise (optional extra) on the Adelaide River, alternatively
we visit the Fogg Dam Conservation Centre. The traditional lands of the
Limilngan-Wulna people (who are active in the reserve's management) are one of
the most spectacular places to explore the diverse wildlife of the Top End,
home to numerous species of birds, turtles, water pythons and of course the
iconic Saltwater Crocodile.

We’ll visit some incredible monolithic Magnetic Termite Mounds and then have
an opportunity to cool off in one of Litchfield’s beautiful natural plunge
pools like Buley Rockholes or Wangi Falls.

Visit a thundering waterfall like Florence Falls or Tolmer Falls and marvel at
the sheer beauty carved out amongst the rocky escarpment. Fully relaxed and
rejuvenated after a day in the stunning tropical national park we make our way
back to Darwin. Meals: n/a, Driving Distance: 450km, Walking Distance: ~1km.
