Litchfield National Park

Nature & Parks

Litchfield National Park is famous for its stunning waterfalls and swimming holes, including Florence Falls, Buley Rockhole, and Wangi Falls. Less than two hours from Mary River Wilderness Retreat, it’s a must-visit destination for swimming, picnics, and exploring the Top End’s natural beauty.

Just under two hours from Mary River Wilderness Retreat, Litchfield National Park is a Top End treasure known for its spectacular waterfalls, crystal-clear swimming holes, and dramatic sandstone landscapes. It’s the perfect place for a day trip or an extended adventure.

Among the park’s highlights is Florence Falls, a double waterfall that plunges into a deep swimming pool surrounded by monsoon forest. A short walk leads to a viewing platform overlooking the falls, while stairs descend to the pool for a refreshing swim. Nearby, Buley Rockhole is a series of cascading rock pools where you can find your own private spot to sit back and soak in the cool water.

Another must-see is Wangi Falls, one of the most popular and accessible attractions in the park. With its twin cascades, large swimming lagoon, picnic facilities, and a short rainforest walk, Wangi Falls is a favourite for families and a great place to spend the day.

Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, enjoying a picnic, or exploring the walking trails, Litchfield National Park offers the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation in the Northern Territory’s great outdoors.
