No complaints on this bus, a good time had by all! - Tour actually run by Autopia Tours. Bus was near full, 25 people (not "max 21", as stated). However Ricky the driver/guide was excellent & ran a friendly tour. The people with us were all pretty chill too. We got around all the sites, with just enough time to look around &/or take a plunge. All in all it was a great day.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience - My spouse and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was the right length with great variety that showed off the NT landscape and wildlife. Our guide and driver, Tim, grew up in Darwin and shared many personal stories of both the city and the nearby bush, including his own and his family experiences of Cyclone Tracey and its aftermath - it really helped make the experience memorable. Make sure to bring a water bottle - it doesn’t have to be a large one tho, as enough fresh cold water was provided onboard for much-needed refills.

Litchfield National Park Tour - We had a lovely day, it is a long day , starting out early and getting back late in the afternoon, the waterfalls were great and the swimming areas were good, to have a swim and cool down. Our Tour guide was really good, and had lots of information to share. Make sure you take your lunch and snacks or buy it at the first stop, as there is not a place close to the waterfalls to buy any food. The Bluey Rockhole is not as safe to swim at , compared to Florence Falls and the Wangi Waterfalls, the last one is the best one to swim at. Beware it is a long walk down to the Florence Waterfalls, if you have trouble walking , this may not be for you. We did not go on the crocodile tour, we went to Fogg Dam, where we can see some crocodiles from a distance . The termite mounds were interesting to see, and it is amazing how the termites build these mounds.

Well worth the long day - Rachel and Adrian made the day, with their knowledgable and interesting commentary. We went to Fogg Dam and saw so many bird species it was amazing then onto the termite mounds followed by a swim at Burley Rock hole. There were two places along the way to stop and buy food and drink, and a change area at Burley rock hole (which we didn’t know prior to the trip). Due to the high amount of water flowing, we viewed Florence Falls and Wangi Falls but both were spectacular. It’s a long day but the sights were worth it. There was an esky onboard with cold water to refill your bottles or to put any of your own food and drinks in to keep cold. The only negative part was the size of the bus, which was a little cramped but that’s to be expected when travelling in a small group situation.

The best way to see Litchfield National Park! - Our Fantastic tour guide Emily had great knowledge of the area. The waterfalls were stunning and she always kept us informed of the details to our next location. This trip is a great way to see Litchfield National Park all in a day. Highly recommend.
Although we weren’t aware the bus picked up at Palmerston lodge (which is where we stayed) so we drive to the city for pick up and drop off.
