Waterfalls, swimming holes and savannah skies—nature’s playground in the Top End.
Overview
Litchfield National Park offers a more accessible slice of the Top End’s wild beauty, just 90 minutes from Darwin. It’s a place where waterfalls plunge over sandstone cliffs, magnetic termite mounds rise like monuments, and natural swimming holes invite you to linger. Less remote than Kakadu but no less spectacular, Litchfield is ideal for a day trip—or an overnight escape under the stars.
See and Do
The local favourite
Cool off in the crystal-clear waters of Buley Rockhole, a series of cascading pools surrounded by tropical forest. Bring a picnic and spend the day dipping and relaxing.
A scene of pure natural beauty
Wangi Falls is the park’s most photographed site, and for good reason. Twin waterfalls drop into a broad plunge pool fringed by rainforest—perfect for swimming, hiking, or just soaking up the serenity.
Adventures in nature
Explore the Lost City rock formations, walk the Tabletop Track for multi-day hiking, or discover Florence Falls via a short forest walk with a refreshing swim at the end. Don’t miss the park’s magnetic termite mounds—aligned with the Earth’s poles for natural temperature control.
