About this tour
Spend eight to ten hours moving between the waterfalls, rock pools and monsoon forests of Litchfield National Park in the Northern Territory. You'll swim in clear waterholes below falling water, walk rainforest tracks where ancient sandstone outcrops rise through the canopy, and learn how the landscape shaped the region's Indigenous cultures. Transport, three meals and commentary are sorted. The pace suits everyone from keen hikers to those after a gentler ramble.
Highlights
- Wade beneath tiered waterfalls into cool natural pools
- Track through monsoon rainforest on marked walking trails
- See weathered sandstone plateaus and geological formations
- Learn about traditional land management and Indigenous heritage
- Swim in multiple secluded swimming holes throughout the day
What to expect
Your guide collects you and drives into the park, stopping at a sequence of named falls and water holes. At each site you'll have time to swim, explore and rest. Walking distances are short to moderate—mostly on established paths. You'll move through thick bush thick with birds and native plants, then emerge at open rock pools where the water stays cool year-round. Lunch and snacks happen at a comfortable rest spot. The pace is steady rather than rushed, with plenty of pauses to absorb the landscape and ask questions about what you're seeing.
Good to know
Bring swimwear, towel and reef shoes or water sandals. Sunscreen and a hat are essential. The park is hot and exposed in places. Most walks are flat but can be uneven underfoot. Wheelchair users can access some pools and viewpoints; confirm specifics when booking.
