Overview

This day tour from Darwin pairs Berry Springs Nature Park with the better part of a day inside Litchfield National Park, all from a single vehicle carrying no more than 11 travellers. The meeting point is 15 Smith St, outside the Darwin Information Centre, with an 08:00 start and a return to the same spot roughly 10 hours later. Transport is air conditioned and park admissions are covered.

The day opens with about an hour at Berry Springs, where the water runs warm and several travellers described it as an easy, pleasant warm up for the day. The rest of the itinerary, around 7 hours, is spent in Litchfield itself, moving between swimming holes and waterfall pools. The walks from the vehicle to the water are short, and reviewers repeatedly said the swimming is the point of the day. Some chose not to swim at all and still enjoyed the scenery.

Food is supplied rather than improvised. A picnic lunch comes from The Harvest Press, with gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options on request, and there are snacks, fruit, biscuits, coffee and tea along the way. Pool noodles are provided for the water. The format suits families, solo travellers and anyone who wants an overview of the park without hiring a car, though it is a long day with a fair amount of driving.

What Is The Cancellation Policy?

A full refund is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time, using local time for the cut off. Cancellations or changes inside 24 hours are not refunded or accepted.

What Should I Bring?

Swimmers, a hat and thongs are the essentials, since the tour centres on swimming holes and reviewers say to be ready for the water early in the day. The tour runs about 10 hours, so anything needed for a full day out should come along.
