Poor, not the bus drivers fault, should provide refund

Simon_W, Mar 2026
When picked up at the designated hotel, bus was late, we were all told that if we had booked direct with Utopia we could have all been picked up from out individual hotels. When we arrived to the Adelaide River jumping crocodiles, after driving up and down the river for an hour and hearing all the excuses why there are no crocodiles, we never saw a crocodile. Once we entered Litchfield NP, we were then told we could not do any swimming in any of the locations, even though at Buley Rockpool people were simply sitting in the edge of the top rock pool with no issues from flowing water. We then got stuck in a downpour of rain when trying to look at another waterfall, even though the tour guide said it won’t rain if we are quick. Then the termite mounds had either collapsed, again the poor tour guide apologised for that, then the remaining standing termite mounds were overgrown with spear grass which is conducive to the time of the year. The tour bus driver was good at trying to make the best out of the day. However, overall we were disappointed to spend $940 and all we got was a bus trip from Darwin and Litchfield NP and back with a storey teller, who we think felt guilty because of the day we had whereby we saw nothing the tour description said we would experience.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

We’re truly sorry your Litchfield experience didn’t meet expectations. Nature and weather can be unpredictable, but we appreciate your patience and kind words about our driver’s efforts. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to welcome you on a better day soon.

A great day out in the wet season

Tour guide Darryl was very knowledgeable, gave us plenty of info and cultural background of Darwin throughout. Jumping crocodile cruise was fun seeing the wildlife so closeup. We were also very lucky didn’t get caught in the rain during this wet season.

We’re so glad you enjoyed the Litchfield National Park Tour! Wonderful to hear the guide’s knowledge and great company made it a 10/10 day 🌿🐊

Good value for what it is.

Cameo_C, Nov 2025
Good way to see the highlights of Litchfield National Park. Coach was air conditioned and comfortable. Guide was knowledgable about local wildlife and local history. Make sure to bring your own towels and gear for swimming and brief walks (0.5-1.5km). Stops for lunch and restroom breaks were only at service stations stations, no time to order a full meal. Recommend you pack snacks and lunch.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the park highlights and our guide’s insights. Great tip on packing snacks and swim gear, super helpful for future guests! 🌿🦎🚌

This is a great experience regarding the natural beauty of NT. If you are swimming savvy then this is the one for you.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks so much for sharing! We're glad you enjoyed the stunning natural beauty of the NT. Litchfield is definitely a swimmer’s paradise. 🏞️💦

Really good experience,...

Milan_V, Jul 2025
Really good experience, lovely nature. Guide was very knowledgeable and nice, gave us lots of info about history, area etc while driving so we also got to spot/understand some things while driving to specific spots mentioned in the itinerary. Only thing that couls be better is to give us a chance to swim at two waterfalls, not just one, as water looked amazing!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for sharing your positive experience! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the beautiful nature and found our guide knowledgeable and friendly. It's great to know that the information shared during the drive enhanced your understanding and enjoyment of the area. We appreciate your suggestion about allowing more time for swimming at the waterfalls. Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve future tours. We hope to have the chance to take you on another adventure soon, with even more opportunities to enjoy the stunning water spots! Vs.

Litchfield tour was great

Emmajane_N, Jul 2025
Long day, packed full but very good and our tour guide / driver was great fun. Some of crocodiles on the “jumping croc” boat tour were feeling lazy but the boys on board made sure we got to see what we came for. Make sure to wear your walking shoes if you want to do the 3km walk near Florence Falls and definitely take a floaty device for the waterfall pool swim at the end.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hey! Thanks for sharing your experience. Itsounds like a full-on day, but a great one! Glad to hear your guide kept things fun, and that the crew on the croc cruise made sure you didn’t miss out (even if the crocs were feeling a bit lazy 🐊). Cheers!

Fine for the cost price but not amazing

Imogen_W, Jul 2025
Exploring of Fogg Dam is a bit of an overstatement as we weren’t able to get out of the bus for any viewing platforms despite waiting for the crocodile cruise to return for 20 minutes. Litchfield itself is great and worth the visit but you’d be better off doing a full day at the park if you weren’t doing the croc cruise.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks for the honest review! It’s helpful to know the Fogg Dam part didn’t quite live up to expectations, especially with limited access during the wait. We're glad Litchfield made up for it with its natural beauty. Great tip for future travelers weighing the full park experience versus the cruise! 🐊🌿

Its a long day but we'll...

Nathan_S, Apr 2025
Its a long day but well worth it if you want to get out and enjoy the country, very knowledgeable guides too

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for your time in writing us feedback! We’re happy that you found the long day worthwhile and appreciated the knowledge of our guides. Exploring the country can be a rewarding experience, and we’re happy you enjoyed it. Cheers! Vs.

Gerald_W, Mar 2025
For us the guide helps fulfill the promise of the tour. Dani, our guide, was great, as was the tour itself. The Park was wonderful to see, a treasure. The second part of our tour was the Croc cruise. Great day for this 7km cruise; we saw birds of prey (Black Kite, I think) and of course Crocodile (Saltwater). Lots and lots of information shared that was sort of academic but it was really interesting. Then the 'teasing' of the crocs to jump for food, we met Roger and Mama (special).

Response from Host, Mar 2025

G'day, Thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review! We're so happy to hear that Dani helped make the tour such a memorable experience for you. It’s great that you enjoyed both the park and the Croc cruise—it sounds like you had a truly special day! Seeing the birds of prey and getting up close with Roger and Mama must have been incredible. We’re thrilled you appreciated all the interesting information shared along the way. Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon!

Bucket list must.

Neil_C, Nov 2024
Swimming at the rock pools and water falls is an experience worth the time and heat visiting. Take a towel and bathers and sunscreen and your set. Some fly spray might help as well.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Hi Neil, Thank you for sharing your tips! Swimming in the rock pools and waterfalls truly is a unique experience, and it’s great to hear you enjoyed it.

Wouldn't do it again

Wendy_M, May 2024
Two times 2 hr drive for two swims and a view of a waterfall, was probably not worth it for me. But it was an easy going day.

We aim to provide a relaxing and enjoyable experience, and we're glad to know you had an easy-going day. Your comments are valuable to us, and we'll consider them as we strive to improve our tours.

Great value tour which made Litchfield so accessible. It was great having someone who knew all the places to go and I didn't have to drive myself around. We had plenty of time in each place for a swim and to soak it all up. Rick was a lovely guide who provided insightful and interesting commentary on our drive and friendly chats.

Pleasant but not worth the cost

Johanna_H, Nov 2023
Swimming at the waterhole at Wangi Falls (blissful) and Buley (lovely though I was a but worried getting in by the slippery, rough, hot riccks( and the crocodile tour were all great - but it didn't really add up to a day worth $220.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hi There, Thank you for letting us know your feedback! We are saddened to hear our tour did not meet your expectations. Please feel free to email us directly to discuss further! We do hope to see you again on tour again soon! Kind Regards, Shania
