Litchfield National Park and Fogg Dam from Darwin
Enjoy one of the locals' favorite places on earth: Litchfield National Park. Just over an hour's drive from the city. You leave Darwin and make your way towards the world-class Litchfield National Park surrounded by thick pockets of tropical rainforest, it offers cool respite from the Top End heat.
Stopping along the way you'll have an opportunity to jump on the famous Jumping Crocodile Cruise (optional extra) on the Adelaide River, alternatively, you visit the Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve. The traditional lands of the Limilngan-Wulna people (who are active in the reserve's management) are one of the most spectacular places to explore the diverse wildlife of the Top End, home to numerous species of birds, turtles, water pythons, and, of course, the iconic Saltwater Crocodile.
You'll visit some incredible monolithic Magnetic Termite Mounds and then have an opportunity to cool off in one of Litchfield's beautiful natural plunge pools like Buley Rockholes or Wangi Falls. Visit a thundering waterfall like Florence Falls or Tolmer Falls and marvel at the natural beauty carved out amongst the rocky escarpment. Fully relaxed and rejuvenated after a day in the stunning tropical national park you make your way back to Darwin.
