Things to do in Litchfield National Park, Northern Territory: The Best Waterfalls

January 14, 2022 Rosalyn Ihle

A top destination for all visitors to the Northern Territory’s Top End is Litchfield National Park, just a 90 minute drive from Darwin. The area is famous for its stunning landscapes, swimming holes and iconic magnetic termite mounds. Numerous waterfalls from natural springs cascade into pristine rockholes, surrounded by monsoonal forests and pandanus. This adventure playground offers great four-wheel drive tracks, and bush walks that vary from one hour to three days.

A short walk from the car park, you climb up to find 2 gorgeous rock pools, perfect from swimming or some exciting rock jumping. Not many people come here as it's 4wd access only. You can also camp there.

Went out to Litchfield for a day trip and went to Wangi Falls first and it did not disappoint. Even though it was wet season and we couldn’t swim (as the water levels were too high) we could still do the 1.7km loop walk and stand and admire the stunning waterfall. Highly recommend.

Bring your swimmers for this unforgettable experience of a swim in the cool waters beneath a natural waterfall ..... there is an easy walk ( after first descending 150 stairs ) from the car park along an easy , shady walk along a forest stream .... the pathway is well constructed with rock, & is an easy walk, traversing the creek at least half a dozen times via sturdy bridges .... which also serve to protect the forest floor from our clomping feet ... this walk is not recommended for those who are mobility. ” challenged “. But requires only a moderate level of fitness otherwise .... A truly wonderful experience in the rainforest . We didn’t see any wildlife, but this was not surprising given the heat of the day, & the ( also unsurprising) number of fellow travellers enjoying the bush .

A short walk to the lookout and being the wet season and a wet one at that the falls were at their best. Well worth the walk a must do if visiting the area.
