About this tour

You'll trek past towering magnetic termite mounds, spot native birds and reptiles at Fogg Dam, and cool off swimming in crystal pools beneath Florence Falls and Buley Rockhole. An experienced outback driver guides the 10.5-hour journey, with optional croc-spotting cruise available. Expect genuine encounters with Top End wilderness—weather permitting, the itinerary adjusts seasonally.

What to expect
You'll cover uneven terrain with moderate walking between stops—bring sturdy shoes. The day starts with wildlife viewing at Fogg Dam, where patience rewards sightings of native species. Next come the termite mounds: geological oddities aligned to magnetic north, dotted across open country. By mid-morning you'll reach the waterfalls; both are swimmable but water levels vary seasonally. Expect sun exposure, humidity, and natural surfaces underfoot. The optional croc cruise happens separately and requires additional payment. Bring your own food, water, hat and sunscreen—the park itself charges AUD 10 entry per person.
