No transport planning required : we’ll pick you up directly in our mini-bus, whether it’s from your hotel, accommodation, or any location you specify.

🐜

FIRST STOP

Magnetic Termite Mounds
The perfect introduction to the park. Hundreds of north-south aligned cathedral mounds up to 2 meters high and 100 years old. Your guide breaks down the science and the stories behind them.

💦

WATERFALL

Tjaynera Falls & Sandy Creek
A rough 4WD track then a 1.4km walk through paperbarks and dry rainforest leads to one of Litchfield’s most secluded waterfalls. A deep plunge pool and nobody else around.

🥪

LUNCH BREAK

Lunch break
Lunch is included, with fresh wraps, meat and salads prepared for the day. Fresh water, snacks and fruit are also provided along the way.

🪨

4WD OFF-ROAD

The Lost City
A rough 10km 4WD track leads to an ancient maze of sandstone pillars that resemble a forgotten civilisation. No bus tours, no crowds : just us.

🏊🏼‍♀️

SWIMMING

Buley Rockhole & Florence Falls
A series of natural rock pools fed by the creek, each one its own private swimming hole. Best early in the morning before the heat kicks in. One of the most relaxed spots in the park.

🍹

RELAXING

Batchelor Town
Wrap up the day with a relaxed stop in Bachelor Town. Enjoy a cold drink together and take in the laid-back atmosphere. A friendly moment to unwind and share the experience.

🏠

RETURN

Return to Darwin
The drive back gives you time to decompress. Drop-off at your accommodation is included, arriving around sunset, which is the best possible way to end a day like this.

★★★★★

"I would definitely recommend Dan from Litchfield Park Adventures. A great day out with a small intimate group. Our guide had an incredible knowledge of the park, the wildlife and the local culture. Absolutely worth every cent."

★★★★★

"Best day of our entire Australia trip. Aaron knew everything about the park — the waterfalls, the termite mounds, the crocodiles. We swam in places we never would have found on our own. A truly unforgettable experience."

★★★★★

"Small group, real guide, real Litchfield. No bus, no crowds, no rush. Dan took us to spots that felt completely untouched. If you are visiting Darwin and only do one thing — make it this tour."
