What you'll see

Welcome to the breathtaking Top End! Meet your guide early this morning at 6.45am at Mantra on the Esplanade, ready for a pre-departure briefing, dressed and ready for the day’s hikes.

Litchfield National Park beckons today. Discover the magnetism of this 1,500-square-kilometre national park, famous for its crystal-clear waterholes, gushing waterfalls, majestic termite mounds and rugged Tabletop Track. Your first hike is an easy 1.6 kilometres of wildlife-spotting as you traverse the popular Wangi Falls track. You will have the chance to swim at the base of the falls, so be sure to bring your bathers and a towel.

Following lunch, you will embark on the easy-to-moderate 5-kilometre hike along Walker Creek, where you will have the opportunity to admire the sweeping views and plunge into one of the many sparkling waterholes.

This evening, settle into your accommodation on the edge of the park, and enjoy time at leisure before a hearty two-course dinner prepared by your tour guides.

Following breakfast and lunch preparation this morning, you’ll journey into Litchfield National Park to visit Tolmer Falls, Green Ant Creek, Florence Falls and the Buley Rockholes. You’ll be walking approximately 5 kilometres today, so be sure to wear lightweight cotton clothing, a hat and sunscreen.

Climb to the lookout at Tolmer Falls to witness the majestic beauty of the plunging waterfall. Continue to the meandering Green Ant Creek walk, and keep an eye out for the region’s incredible flora and fauna. Colourful red-winged parrots, double-bar finches and kingfishers are abundant in the area. Afterward, continue to Florence Falls, a spectacular double-plunge waterfall that leads to a large waterhole surrounded by monsoon rainforest. Keep an eye open for the termite mounds – architectural feats complete with tunnels and nursery chambers.

This afternoon, let the serenity of Kakadu envelop you as you’re guided through woodlands and dark ribbons of rainforest to Ubirr, an Aboriginal rock art site dating back some 20,000 years where you can see fascinating examples of traditional x-ray art and representations of important Dreamtime ancestors.
