A small-group day from Darwin to Litchfield National Park with local guides: waterfalls and cool swimming, wildlife, giant termite mounds and scenery away from the crowds and big coach tours. And because you'll want to see crocodiles too, the day ends on a private boat on the Adelaide River where you can see the big ones.

AI summary of 91 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the tour guides for their knowledge, entertaining commentary and humorous storytelling throughout the day, as well as the successful viewing of jumping crocodiles on the Adelaide River and the beautiful natural swimming holes in Litchfield National Park. What stands out most often is the exceptional value for a lengthy full-day experience, with included fresh lunch and snacks, convenient hotel pick-up and drop-off, and the early morning departure which allows guests to see crocodiles before crowds arrive and avoid the worst of the midday heat. The most common caveat is that the tour involves a very long day with an early start (typically around 5.45am), though this is frequently presented by travellers as worthwhile given the amount of activity packed into the itinerary.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
“Northern Territory Litchfield Escapes”
A long, hot but brilliant day in Litchfield with the croc cruise and the waterfalls. Our guide Dylan was friendly, funny and full of knowledge, and I'd pick this local family business over the big operators.
“Great day out!”
We were in awe of the crocs leaping right beside us first thing in the morning, then swam in beautiful waterholes. Damo was a great storyteller, stopped for anything interesting and made a delicious lunch.
“Extremely pleased”
One of the best tours we've done. Our guide Dillion mixed humour with real knowledge of Darwin, Litchfield, crocs, wildlife and termite mounds, and the lunch spread he prepared was excellent.
“Epic Litchfield Experience”
Damo was punctual, messaged us the day before, and was funny and engaging with everyone. Having their own croc boat run by the guide meant no rushing, and we saw Brutus and Dominator on the same trip. Lunch included was a nice touch.
“Best Top End Tour”
Touring with Damo is a must in the Top End: he's knowledgeable, very funny and kept us engaged all day. Watching the crocs launch out of the water up close was mind-blowing, and he explained what we were seeing.
“Great adventure”
We saw jumping crocs, swam in three natural pools and saw huge termite mounds. Dylan's humour and storytelling made the long round trip fly, and the early hotel pick-up and drop-off made it easy.
