MAIN PICKUP LOCATION & TIME: Travelodge Resort Darwin, 64 Cavenagh St, Darwin City NT 0800.
Allow us to show you one of our favourite places on earth... Litchfield National Park. Just over an hour's drive from the city. We leave Darwin and make our way towards the world-class Litchfield National Park surrounded by thick pockets of tropical rainforest, it offers cool respite from the Top End heat.
Stopping along the way you'll have an opportunity to jump on the famous Jumping Crocodile Cruise (optional extra) on the Adelaide River, alternatively, we visit the Fogg Dam Conservation Centre. The traditional lands of the Limilngan-Wulna people (who are active in the reserve's management) are one of the most spectacular places to explore the diverse wildlife of the Top End, home to numerous species of birds, turtles, water pythons, and of course the iconic Saltwater Crocodile.
We'll visit some incredible monolithic Magnetic Termite Mounds and then have an opportunity to cool off in one of Litchfield's beautiful natural plunge pools like Buley Rockholes or Wangi Falls. Visit a thundering waterfall-like Florence Falls or Tolmer Falls and marvel at the sheer beauty carved out amongst the rocky escarpment. Fully relaxed and rejuvenated after a day in the stunning tropical national park we make our way back to Darwin.
From October to April: You are likely to experience high heat, humidity, and potential monsoonal rainfall. During the wet season, some areas, including waterfalls, may be subject to last-minute closures or changes to road conditions due to flooding or other weather-related factors. While we make every effort to inform guests of any changes, please be aware that such closures may occur without prior notice. To stay comfortable, we recommend packing light, breathable clothing, as well as a light raincoat, umbrella, and/or poncho.
