What to Expect
A trip to the Top End is not complete without visiting Litchfield National Park, where you can revel in tranquillity, relaxing under the waterfalls and basking in nature's oasis while swimming in freshwater pools.
Your day begins with early morning pick-ups from selected Darwin accommodation. As you depart Darwin, your friendly local guide will provide commentary about local tourist attractions and historical points of interest.
The drive to the national park takes around 1 hr 30 mins; however, you'll enjoy a stop or two along the way. The first for the day is the Batchelor Butterfly & Animal farm to learn more about some brilliant Australian butterflies and experience the wonderful petting zoo. Children especially enjoy feeding goats, chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigs, donkeys, and cows.
Continuing on, you'll wind your way to Litchfield National Park, where you'll get the chance to swim and cool off in blissful spring-fed waterfalls, join in a guided walk in the tropical monsoon vine forests and experience nature in its finest form.
Take the opportunity to learn and experience ancient First Nation bush food and medicine passed down from their ancestors for thousands of years. Admire natural sandstone-formed landscapes and the unique birds and wildlife in their natural habitat.
Throughout the day, you'll have a few choices. You can opt to do a self-guided walk from Buley Rockhole to Florence Falls, which takes around 20 mins or walk down the 135 steps to the plunge pool of Florence Falls.
Then, at Wangi Falls, you can walk to the top and watch the water streaming down over sandstone cliffs, cool off into the large plunge pool, or relax in the picnic area and watch the cascade over the rock escarpments.
Then, after a delicious lunch served at Tolmer Falls, follow the trail and head down to the top of the lookout to observe the spectacular view of the plunge waterfalls or walk around the top of the falls through an ancient cycad forest.
At the end of the day, you'll transfer back to Darwin just in time to see the sunset at Mindil Beach.

However, after the wet season, the areas are all surveyed for crocodiles before reopening to visitors. It's important to only swim in designated areas and observe all warning signs throughout the park.
