About this tour
An 8–10 hour guided day tour of Litchfield National Park covering waterfalls, swimming holes, and rainforest trails. Suits anyone from casual walkers to keen explorers wanting a structured introduction to the park's landscape and wildlife. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, water and hot drinks included throughout the day, with transport and commentary from guides. The park's multiple fall sites and natural pools mean you'll move between several distinct swimming and viewing spots rather than stay in one location.
Highlights
- Swim at multiple waterfall-fed pools throughout the park
- Guided walks through rainforest sections with commentary on flora and fauna
- Ancient rock formations and geological features explained by guides
- Full meals and hot drinks included — breakfast, lunch, snacks, water
- Wheelchair accessible transport and facilities
- Suitable for all fitness levels, including families with prams and infants
- Mix of activity and rest stops across the 8–10 hour day
What to expect
You'll be picked up and transported to Litchfield National Park in a coach or van. The day unfolds as a series of stops at different natural attractions — typically starting with a walk to one or two waterfall sites where you'll have time to swim, followed by rainforest trails with guide commentary on the park's ecology and Aboriginal cultural connections. Breakfast is served early; lunch and snacks are provided mid-tour at a designated spot, with water and tea/coffee available throughout.
The pace alternates between short walks (usually 20–40 minutes) and swimming or rest periods. You'll visit multiple pools and viewpoints rather than focus on a single location. The tour concludes with return transport to your starting point in late afternoon. Total time on feet is moderate, with frequent breaks to swim or sit.

Good to know
This tour works well for families, older visitors, and anyone who wants structure and meals sorted without organising their own park visit. It's accessible for wheelchair users and people with prams; guides are trained to support varying fitness levels. The main practical considerations: the day is long (8–10 hours including transport), so early starts are typical; weather in the Northern Territory can be hot and humid, and sun protection is essential; the park can be busy during peak season (May–September); and while swimmable pools are shallow and safe, basic comfort with water is assumed. Inclusions cover meals and water, so there are no hidden food costs. Group sizes vary but are typically 15–30 people per tour.
