Itinerary

You will be collected from select Darwin accommodation at approximately 7.00 am and then our adventure begins as we travel towards Litchfield National Park.

Magnetic and Cathedral Termite mounds are plentiful in this region and can stand as high as six metres.
They are an amazing architectural feat containing arches, tunnels and chimneys and we stop to view some of these amazing insect habitats as we make our way into the park.

Once we arrive you will explore waterfalls, spring-fed streams and the rugged sandstone escarpments of Litchfield National Park with opportunities to swim, hike and explore Litchfield’s famous Florence and Wangi Falls*.
