A great way to see an extraordinary place... - The boat trip down Katherine Gorge is fantastic, made even better by excellent commentary and information on animals, rock formations and history. Our tour guide Becs was great, looking after everyone and bringing a complex and long day of traveling to a very satisfactory conclusion.

Darwin to Litchfield National Park. FABULOUS - AAKing tours took us to Litchfield National Park. Lovely coach, great aircon (much needed). Cold water available at every stop. Driver was Russel, lovely, helpful and very knowledgeable. Saw water falls, termite structures, the icing on the cake was Wangi Falls, easy to access and a great place for a cooling swim. Thought it would be freezing but it was fabulous. This trip with AA King tours was amazing.

I loved swimming at three... - I loved swimming at three different spots in Litchfield. The stop at Howard Springs was the least valuable part of the tour.

Meh, not the greatest - Litchfield was beautiful, the places we visited were gorgeous! However, more time at the destinations would have been preferred. Unfortunately we spent more time at service stations - one in particular for 30+ minutes that did not hold significance, attractions, other than a coffee break while we were given an hour for Florence Falls. The itinerary was difficult to follow to calculate the times prior to the event, and the guide gave information overload before disembarking the bus regarding where the toilets, entrance, parking, time.

Litchfield is great but do not use AATkings - Litchfield national park has some interesting termite mounds and nice waterfalls and is worth visiting. We did a one day tour of Litchfield National Park with AAT. The bus driver provided virtually no commentary. We visited some falls, and there were some fruit bats in the trees, no mention at all by the bus driver. For some reason the buses first stop was at a servo, for coffee. A total waste of half an hour. This half hour would be better spent at one of hte water falls. Visit Litchfield Park, but do not use AAT

Waste of money - We did the tour through kings as recommended, nice big airconditioned bus. The tour itself was way too long, travelling to the outback dry old park. Firstly to termite mounds looked like big rocks ,not very interesting 5 minutes would have been enough. Then onto some various falls the only one worth doing was where we walked down 100s of rocks & steps to have a swim, not long enough there just to have to climb back up. Should have knocked out the one where couldn’t do much. Buffet lunch was in a shed consisting of packaged deli meat & salad! Next stop sounded nice Berry Springs for an ice cream but was only a service station & ice cream on us!Then to an old airfield on the road consisting of 3 cut out planes 🤣 To long & exhaustingly hot.

The Beauty of Litchfield National Park Amidst Challenging Conditions - My recent visit to Litchfield National Park, although awe-inspiring, was a true testament to the ruggedness required to navigate the natural challenges presented by such a wild and untamed environment. Led by Cam, an exceptional guide brimming with knowledge about the park's diverse sites, the tour was an educational journey through some of the most picturesque landscapes Darwin has to offer. However, accessibility to some of the park's treasures, like the swimming hole at Florence Falls, proved difficult for me. The descent involved a daunting 65 stairs, a journey that my knees simply wouldn't allow. This unfortunately meant missing out on what I anticipated to be a refreshing reprieve from the day's oppressive heat. The tour continued to Wangi Falls, another stunning location promising a cooling dip. Yet, the extreme temperatures and humidity took their toll on my well-being, leaving me feeling too ill from the heat to even manage the short walk to the water's edge. The weather, unforgiving in its intensity, was of course no fault of the tour company, but it did underscore the importance of preparing for the physical demands and climatic conditions of the park. The bus, our main mode of transport, offered comfort, though the internal temperature was kept low in an attempt to help guests acclimatize—a decision that was less comforting and more challenging to endure. This, coupled with the underwhelming lunch experience at Litchfield Cafe, where the basic salad buffet left much to be desired both in substance and setting, painted a stark contrast to the natural splendor we were there to enjoy. Nonetheless, the day was not without its high points. Cam's initiative to feed the barramundi at Howard Springs Nature Park was a delightful surprise, a unique encounter that I will remember fondly. It was these moments of wonder that shone through and reminded me of the intrinsic value of exploring places like Litchfield National Park. In reflection, future visitors with mobility concerns may benefit from a more detailed understanding of the physical requirements for each site. As for the tour operators, there's an opportunity to enhance the experience by ensuring the comfort and well-being of guests in all aspects, including transport, food, and hydration—especially under the extreme weather conditions that are characteristic of this beautiful yet demanding landscape.

Very disappointing - Very boring. A waste of money. So hot that's causing dehydration. The pick up cancelled and need to go to a hotel to gather. No bottled water provided on bus but a plastic bucket containing water for drink, questionable about hygiene. The lunch was so simple and doesn't worth the money. The 2nd waterfall was very tiny but very hot to visit, regret going. After return discovered the payment charged was in USD dollars rather than AUD, so it's around $70 more than advertised, it's cheating and misleading. Why would you be charging US dollars in Australia and didn't make it clear enough. Not worth the money. If you have money go to Cairns, much more to see and better experience.
