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.
