About this tour
Pack a full day into [Litchfield National Park](/places/litchfield-national-park) with a local guide steering you through the Top End's most striking landscapes. Start with a crocodile-spotting cruise where saltwater hunters launch themselves at bait, then cool off in crystal waterholes beneath cascading falls. Hunt for wildlife amongst the rust-coloured termite mounds—some cathedral-shaped, others magnetic—before settling in for sunset drinks with prawns and champagne. Twelve hours, small group, air-conditioned transport between stops.

What to expect
You'll spend most of the day moving between natural highlights in air-conditioned comfort. The crocodile cruise is brief but thrilling—expect crowds at the railing and a barrage of snapping jaws. Waterhole swims are the real reward: the water is cool and clear, though crowded midday. Termite mound walking involves moderate pace on flat terrain; bring a hat and water bottle. Lunch is a picnic spread. The final hours build toward sunset, when the group gathers for champagne and prawns overlooking the landscape. Energy levels flag by 6 p.m., so pace yourself early.
Good to know
Bring swimmers, towel, sunscreen and hat. Park entry fees ($10) aren't included; have cash ready. Selected hotels only for pickup—confirm yours before booking. Public transport alternatives exist if needed. Suitable for all fitness levels but involves walking between sites and some standing time.
