🌿 Discover Litchfield National Park – 2 Day Private Tour
Litchfield National Park is one of the most spectacular and accessible national parks in Australia’s Northern Territory. Located just 100 km southwest of Darwin near the township of Batchelor, Litchfield covers over 1,500 square kilometres of rugged sandstone escarpments, tropical forests, waterfalls, and iconic wildlife habitats.
With over 260,000 visitors each year, Litchfield is a must-see destination in the Top End — and a highlight of any Northern Territory adventure.
A Brief History of Litchfield National Park
Litchfield was officially proclaimed a national park in 1986 and is named after Frederik Henry Litchfield, a pioneering explorer who travelled through the Daly River region in 1864. Since its protection, the park has become one of Australia’s most beloved nature-based tourism icons.
🌳 Landscapes, Waterfalls & Wildlife
Litchfield’s dramatic escarpments, lush woodlands, and crystal-clear plunge pools are what make it a standout destination. The central sandstone plateau supports thriving eucalypt forests dominated by Darwin woollybutt, Darwin stringybark, banksias, grevilleas, and other Top End flora.
Monsoon Rainforest & Gorges
At the base of the escarpments and in narrow gorges shaped by ancient waterfalls, you’ll find patches of monsoon rainforest — dense, lush and largely undisturbed. These rainforest pockets are home to water lilies, ground orchids, pandanus palms, paperbarks, and swamp bloodwoods.
🦘 Litchfield Wildlife & Native Species
Litchfield National Park is a biodiversity hotspot and a haven for native wildlife. Some of the most common species you may encounter on a private Litchfield tour include:
- Agile wallaby
- Antilopine kangaroo
- Dingo
- Sugar glider
- Northern brushtail possum
- Fawn antechinus
- Black and little red flying foxes
Nocturnal animals like the northern quoll, northern brown bandicoot, and ghost bat also inhabit the park. Near Tolmer Falls, visitors may catch a glimpse of the rare orange leaf-nosed bat in its natural cave habitat.
🐦 Birdwatching in Litchfield
Litchfield is also a paradise for bird lovers, offering sightings of over 200 bird species. Notable birds include:
- Black kite and other raptors during the dry season
- Figbird, spangled drongo, rainbow bee-eater
- Pacific koel, dollarbird, yellow oriole, and the Torres Strait pigeon
Waterfalls like Florence Falls, Wangi Falls, and Buley Rockhole attract honeyeaters and orange-footed scrubfowl that feed on the abundant native fruits.
🐊 Reptiles and Crocodiles
The Finniss River section of the park is known for hosting saltwater crocodiles (or “salties”), especially during the wet season. Other reptiles such as frill-necked lizards and monitor lizards are commonly seen along forest paths and waterholes — though they tend to hide during the cooler months.
💦 Waterfalls & Natural Swimming Spots
Litchfield is world-famous for its swimmable waterfalls. Whether you're cooling off in the cascading rock pools or taking a scenic walk to a lookout, these are the park’s most iconic natural attractions:
- Florence Falls – a double waterfall plunging into a shaded swimming hole
- Wangi Falls – the largest and most photographed falls in the park, with easy access for all
- Tolmer Falls – a dramatic, high drop into a deep gorge (no swimming, but a spectacular view)
- Buley Rockhole – a series of small cascading pools, perfect for relaxation
- Tjaynera Falls (Sandy Creek) and Surprise Creek Falls – accessible only by 4WD on a private tour, offering secluded beauty and fewer crowds
🐜 Magnetic Termite Mounds – A Natural Engineering Marvel
One of Litchfield’s most unusual and popular attractions is the magnetic termite mounds. These perfectly aligned, wedge-shaped mounds can reach over 2 meters tall and are aligned north to south to regulate temperature. Built by termites that feed on grass roots in flood-prone plains, the mounds rise above water level and act as natural air-conditioners — an architectural feat by nature’s smallest engineers.

GIANT TERMITE MOUNDS
What are we going to see in two days?
Florence Falls
The waterfall descends from an elevation of 64 metres (210 ft) above sea level via a series of segmented tiers that range in height between 9.8–15 metres (32–49 ft)Accessed by sealed road, the falls are found near the northern boundary of the national park, approximately 80 kilometres (50 mi) south of Darwin.
A signpost at Florence Falls mentions two walks for hiking. The 'Shady Creek Walk' is graded easy with a distance of 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) return. The 'Florence Creek Walk' is also graded easy with a distance of 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) return. The Florence Falls plunge pool is listed as "great for a refreshing swim" besides the usual safety warnings.
Buley RockHoles
Buley rockhole is a relaxing set of rock holes with a nice swimming area. It can get quite busy if you don't get there early.
Tolmer Falls Lookout
The waterfall descends from an elevation of 102 metres (335 ft) above sea level in two drops that range in height between 32–42 metres (105–138 ft) into a plunge pool. Accessed by sealed road, the falls are near the western boundary of the national park, approximately 85 kilometres (53 mi) south of Darwin.
The falls were named by explorer Frederick Henry Litchfield after his late father's colleague in the South Australia Police, Alexander Tolmer.
The site is noted for the large colony of orange leaf-bat Rhinonicteris aurantia, which number in their thousands.[3]
Wangi Falls
Probably the most beautiful swimming holes in Litchfield, surrounded by our beautiful top end Jungle. We can swim and go for a beautiful hike in the Forest until the upper pools.

Greenant
Greenant Creek is a walking track to the top of the Tjaetaba Falls in Litchfield National Park.
The walk is a 2.7km return track that starts at the picnic area near the carpark. You can swim at the top of the waterfall. You will swim in a natural Infinity Pool at the top of the hill.
Sandy Creek
Explore this 3.4-km out-and-back trail near Litchfield Park, Northern Territory. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 46 min to complete. This trail is great for hiking and walking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring. The falls plunge pool is very large, deep and popular for swimming in the clear deep water. A great spot to enjoy a picnic lunch and relax by the waterhole.
Surprise Creek
A short walk from the car park, you climb up to find 2 gorgeous rock pools, perfect from swimming or some exciting rock jumping. Not many people come here as it's 4wd access only.
The Lost City
is a series of large sandstone outcrops that evoke the remains of an ancient civilisation.
A spectacular sight, this landmark is located in a remote and hard to access area in Litchfield National Park, just over an hour’s drive from Darwin.
Experienced four-wheel drivers will have their skills tested on the 10km track into The Lost City. Marvel at this natural structure formed by thousands of years of wind and rain erosion, whose walls, narrow passages and domes give the impression that they were man made. Be astounded at the extensive nature of this formation, the complex freestanding sandstone block and pillar formations of the Lost City are spread over an area the size of a small town, and look like the ruins of a city with a maze of narrow alleys. Lay your hand against a sandstone wall that is estimated to be over 500 million years old.
The final 4WD track in to The Lost City is extremely rocky and rough, and closed in the wet season. Only people experienced in handling four-wheel drive vehicles should attempt the journey to The Lost City – caravans are not permitted. The initial approach is a formed sealed road.
