LITCHFIELD NATIONAL PARK HIKES

Hiking in Litchfield National Park can be a relaxing affair or it can be a challenging adventure. That’s what makes Northern Territory bush walking so great, there is a trail for everyone!

From easy short walks to difficult terrain and climbs, the diverse landscape in Litchfield Park is absolutely worth the effort. This Top End sandstone country is up to 1.8 billion years old and you can immerse yourself in a monsoon forest, gullies, gorges, ravines and cliffs with views that will take your breath away.

Litchfield’s grasslands and paperback wetlands are home to some of the most unique and endangered Australian species. From Kangaroos and wallabies to wild dingoes and a huge range of diverse bird species, Litchfield National Park is a paradise for nature lovers. If you hike to Tolmer creek falls, you can even discover the unique orange leaf-nosed bats in cool caves!

Dry Season

Litchfield National Park in the dry season (May to October) is a sight to behold. You can hike early morning before the scorching sun rises and then relax in a natural plunge pool in the afternoon. The swimming holes are loved by the locals and the park has an energetic buzz around it during the dry season.

Wet Season

The tropical Northern Territory is dominated by monsoonal rainfall for one-third of the year and is experienced during the wet season (November to April). The dramatic climate change from dry to wet is something to experience and the waterfalls in Litchfield put on a show!

We recommend hiking in Litchfield National Park ALL YEAR ROUND. Whatever your level, there is an adventure and experience for you.

Our hiking tours from Darwin are available ON DEMAND, get in touch for a bespoke tour itinerary.
