Just a short drive from Darwin, Litchfield National Park is a true wonder of the Northern Territory’s Top End. Known for its idyllic waterfalls, pristine swimming spots, beautiful walking trails, and hidden natural wonders, Litchfield is a destination visitors will remember for a lifetime. Perfect for a day trip or an overnight adventure, this park offers a unique experience for everyone.

Discover the Highlights of Litchfield National Park:

Wangi Falls: Featured on many a Territory postcard, Wangi Falls boasts picturesque walking tracks and stunning waterfalls cascading from sandstone cliff faces. With camping as the only overnight option, you'll find all the facilities you need, including a kiosk, hot showers, and barbecues. Whether you choose to explore the walking tracks or relax in the refreshing freshwater, your time here will be unforgettable.

Florence Falls: Often considered Litchfield National Park’s best-kept secret, Florence Falls is a secluded plunge pool set in the heart of a monsoon rainforest. The shaded area offers a cool retreat from the sun, while lookout points and walking trails provide different perspectives of this beautiful location. Open for swimming most of the year, Florence Falls is a must-visit spot.

Buley Rockhole: Another favourite among tourists and locals, Buley Rockhole is a beautiful swimming hole fed by waterfalls in the middle of a tropical rainforest. With picnic and barbecue facilities available, you can enjoy a leisurely day by the water or relax in your private rock pool.
