Litchfield Day Tour
The perfect easy day from Darwin — safe swimming holes beneath Wangi, Florence and Buley falls, shaded walks and the strange magnetic termite mounds, driving handled.
Litchfield Day Tour
If Kakadu is the epic, Litchfield is the perfect easy day out. Just about 1.5 hours south of Darwin, this is a park made for swimming — a string of waterfalls tumbling into clear safe swimming holes at Wangi, Florence and Buley, shaded monsoon-forest walks, and the strange, tombstone-like magnetic termite mounds. We handle the driving and the plan; you bring your swimmers. Family-owned since 1974, tailored and quoted per enquiry.
What to Expect
Wangi & Florence Falls
Clear plunge pools beneath the falls — the classic Litchfield swim, at marked safe spots.
Buley Rockhole
A chain of little rock pools and cascades you can sink into and cool off.
Magnetic Termite Mounds
Tall, flat mounds aligned north–south by their tiny architects.
Transfers
The pick-up, the driving and the day’s plan all taken care of.

Litchfield Day Tour — FAQ
What does a Litchfield day tour include?
A relaxed guided day in Litchfield National Park — swimming beneath Wangi, Florence and Buley falls, walking to the plunge pools and seeing the eerie magnetic termite mounds, with transfers handled. Tailored and quoted per enquiry — get in touch.
How far is Litchfield from Darwin?
Litchfield is only about a 1.5 hour drive south of Darwin, which makes it the easiest national park day trip from the city — more swimming time and less driving than Kakadu.
Can you swim in Litchfield?
Yes — this is Litchfield’s drawcard. The falls have safe swimming holes at marked spots such as Buley Rockhole and Florence Falls. Always follow signs and your guide, as conditions and closures change with the season.
Kakadu or Litchfield for a day trip?
Litchfield is closer, greener and built around swimming; Kakadu is a bigger, wilder World Heritage day with rock art and wetlands. Compare our Kakadu day tour to choose.
How much does a Litchfield day tour cost?
Every tour is tailored to your group and inclusions, so we quote per enquiry rather than list fixed prices. Tell us your date and plans for a quote.
