Is this trip right for you?

Your accommodation on this trip is at private semi-permanent tented campsites, you'll have stretcher beds to sleep on. Please bring your own sleeping bag. Alternatively you can hire a sleeping bag at an additional cost. Please request a sleeping bag for you if you'd like to take advantage of this option. Please note that winter nights can get cool. Please take into consideration the weather and the season in which you are travelling. Facilities are shared with other nearby campsites, including toilets and shower blocks, which are a short walk from where we camp.
On some days of the trip, you’ll spend many hours driving through very sparse areas of Australia. Think of it as a great way to get to know your fellow travellers. It’s as much about the journey as the destination, and half the fun is the camaraderie.
This trip requires a moderate level of fitness as it involves a lot of walking. Some hikes are longer and more challenging than others. Please bring sturdy, comfortable walking shoes and comfortable clothing.
Group participation makes up a lot of this trip, so you'll be required to help with the preparation of meals and cleaning up. These are the kind of tasks that bring a group closer together.
Temperatures in the Top End can be extreme. During the day the weather can be hot (and the Australian sun is strong) so please bring appropriate clothing, use sun protection and drink plenty of water. In the evenings temperatures really drop, so ensure you have base layers and warm clothing.
Minimum age: 15 years old.

Trip itinerary

A scenic view of the twin cascades of Florence Falls, framed by lush overhanging foliage and rugged red sandstone cliffs in Litchfield National Park.

Welcome to the Northern Territory! Your adventure begins in Darwin (Gulumoerrgin in the language of the local Larrakia people, who are the traditional owners of the land on which Darwin is now located). You’ll meet your group early, and then set off south to Litchfield National Park. Overflowing with picture-perfect waterfalls, your first stop is to Wangi Falls. Here, there’s a chance for a serene swim or take a short loop walk with your leader. Next, it’s on to Florence Falls, where you can explore the nearby plunge pools and stop for a picnic lunch. Then, you’ll swap bubbling creeks for iconic earthly towers at Litchfield’s famous Magnetic Termite Mounds. After leaving the park, a First Nations owned and operated Cultural Ecological Experience will provide you with an understanding of the customs and traditions of the Aboriginal people of the Northern Coast Wetland region. You’ll then head to Mary River and your accommodation for the night.

Today's first meeting and pick up will take place at 7 am this morning. Please see the Joining Point instructions for further details. It’s very important that you are on time today as we will be collecting insurance and emergency contact details at this time, and then head out to Litchfield National Park right away. Make sure you stock up on snacks for this morning, as we won't be stopping for breakfast or coffee. And have your swim wear handy, as you'll have plenty of options to take a dip. Your travel time today will be approximately 4.5 hours.

Lambells Lagoon - Pudakul Aboriginal Ecological Experience
Litchfield National Park - Magnetic Termite Mounds
