Overview

This full day trip from Darwin is built around three of Litchfield National Park's water sites, Florence Falls, Buley Rockhole and Wangi Falls, plus a stop at the Magnetic Termite Mounds. It runs for 10 hours and is operated by Offroad Dreaming.

The shape of the day is simple. Roughly half an hour goes to the termite mounds, then the bulk of the time is split between three water sites, with about two hours at. Entrance fees are covered by the tour, so there is nothing to pay at the gate.

Lunch is not included. Travellers can bring their own food or buy from cafes at the locations, though the booking page advises checking opening times in advance. With a cap of 48 travellers, this suits people who want a structured day covering the park's main stops without organising a hire car, and who are comfortable in a large group. It is not wheelchair accessible.

A timber viewing boardwalk beside tall wedge-shaped magnetic termite mounds in golden grass, a couple of tiny visitors far away.

Common issues. The main limitations come straight from the booking page. The group can be as large as 48 travellers, which will not suit anyone wanting an intimate tour, and the trip is not wheelchair accessible. Lunch is an extra cost or something you bring yourself, and cafe opening times at the stops are not guaranteed. The tour needs a minimum number of travellers to run and depends on good weather, and if either forces a cancellation you are offered a different date, a different experience or a full refund rather than a guaranteed rebooking. Pickup arrangements are not stated on the booking page, so confirm them on the booking page before assuming hotel transport.
