About this tour
Explore Litchfield National Park's striking waterfalls, magnetic termite mounds and layered sandstone country across 10.5 hours. This Northern Territory tour drives through diverse bushland with guided walks to lookout points and swimming holes, plus sightings of native wildlife in their natural surroundings.

What to expect
You'll spend most of the day on foot and in a mini-coach traversing Litchfield's varied landscape. Walks to waterfalls require moderate fitness—expect rocky terrain and gradual climbs to reach the best views and swimming spots. The park's layout means frequent stops at different sites rather than a single location. Your driver-guide narrates the landscape and wildlife as you go. If crocodile cruise is your pick, you'll transfer to Adelaide River for that stint. Seasonal closures occasionally affect swimming areas, so your actual itinerary adapts to safety and conditions on the day.
Good to know
Bring only a small day bag (5–7kg max). Meals aren't included; you'll have chances to buy lunch locally. Moderate fitness required for waterfall walks. Service animals welcome. Suitable from age six upwards. Check temperatures beforehand and pack layers—the outback changes fast.
