Excellent day trip with Lizzie at the helm. Her knowledge of the bird life at Fogg Creek was amazing as well as flora and fauna and termites! A really informative and fun day sampling waterholes on the way. Highly recommended.

We had a great day with our guides Jay and Paul. Swims at Florence Falls and Buley Rockhole were amazing, we wish we could have spent a bit more time there. Wangi Falls looked great but we couldn't swim there due to crocodiles. Regarding crocodiles, the optional crocodile jumping tour is definitely worth the extra money. You also definitely need at least 2 liters of water so please bring a big bottle as requested. You'll be able to purchase more drinks at various stops throughout the day. Some improvements for the initerary: please mention that there are changing facilities at the swim stops, that's nice to know in advance. Also, be aware that if you choose the optional crocodile cruise, it will replace the Fogg Dam birdwatching stop. That wasn't clear to me, I thought it was an additional thing. Nevertheless, choose the crocodile cruise! Overall it was a great day which covers all the highlights of Litchfield.nicholasg751

Litchfield National Park - Top End Day Trip from Darwin was fantastic!!! A great way to see all the best the Top End has to offer in one day. You have the option of doing the Jumping Crocs which is highly recommended. Litchfield National Park is beautiful and we visited Florence Falls (stunning), Buley Rockhole and finally Wangi Falls which was probably my favourite spot in the Top End. Paul and Jay were our tour guides and they were very energetic and knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. It is much easier to hop on a bus and be driven around to all the spots rather than do all the driving yourself and try to work out where to go. This is my pick of tours for the Top End.49DarrylG

Autopia Tours arranged a private four wheel drive tour for us {four adults) for three days - Litchfield, Darwin and Kakadu. Our driver/tour guide Bianca was wonderful. She was extremely patient, caring and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to ensure we had the most positive outcome for our trip. I would certainly recommend Autopia for anyone considering travel to the NT. As the tourism industry is now beginning to welcome guests again, it must be remembered that they have been severely impacted by COVID and are starting to rebuild their teams and tours. We were very fortunate to have Autopia and Bianca look after us in Darwin before we joined the Ghan. We had a fantastic time.Susan_D
