Very good day all round really good experience
We’re delighted to hear that you had a very good day and a really positive experience all around. Thank you for sharing your feedback; it means a lot to us. We look forward to continuing to provide you with great experiences in the future!
This was a full day tour that delivered on its promises. Early pickup was on time and we drove to the crocodile jump cruise. Some did that while the rest of us drove through the Fogg dam area. After picking up the cruisers we drove into Litchfield via Batchelor and visited 3 quite different swimming holes with various kinds of waterfalls. June is the perfect time for this tour. 31/32 degrees and low humidity. The amount of time spent at each venue was more than fair. Dylan, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and looked after us well. We viewed termite mounds then were dropped off at our pickup point.
Thank you for your detailed and lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the variety of stops throughout the day, from the Fogg Dam area and termite mounds to the beautiful swimming holes in Litchfield. It’s great to hear the timing and itinerary worked so well for you, and that Dylan made the experience even more enjoyable with his knowledge and care. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
Excellent tour, it was a big day but there were plenty of stops. We really enjoyed the scenery and the swimming. Dylan our tour guide was exceptional. He was very caring, funny but most of all very knowledgeable. His knowledge went far beyond Litchfield NP flora and fauna, as we travelled he also told us aboriginal culture and special sites in Lichfield and about Darwin history and current info. He wasn't short of stories either he had the whole bus in fits of laughter. There were 4 people in our group and everyone enjoyed their day. This is a must do trip when in Darwin. Viator have also been excellent to deal and super helpful when I contacted them with any queries. Lyn

I really enjoyed the day. Eric was a wonderful driver and guide. The people on the tour were also very enjoyable people. The waterfalls were beautiful and we did swim. The water was awesome. Termites what an interesting creature. The crocodiles were a great addition as well. Overall a perfect day to explore and enjoy. The only thing was the website said we had to purchase our own park pass. This was not so. It was included in the tour. Please change that for others in the future. I obtained one on line and it was not necessary. Again hats off to our guide Eric, a great calm and interesting person....

Did this tour in the wet season but still covered lots of places of interest & had a croc free dip! A well organised trip - the bus was air-conditioned, had an esky to keep our food cold & plenty of cold water to refill drink bottles. Daryl was a great guide & driver giving us enough information but not overloading us. We stopped at some great roadhouses to get supplies & well-timed rest stops! He also was great at ensuring everyone had a good time & did his best to drop everyone back near their accommodation. Went to Fogg Dam, the Zebra stone centre, saw both types of Termite mounds, Florence falls & a lovely long stop at the Buley Rockholes for a refreshing dip. Also stopped at Wangi Falls on the way back, to see the amazing waterfall there - closed for swimming at present due to crocs - this is where they recently caught a 4.6m one! Once you accept that at this time of year there will be limitations to what you can do, you enjoy all that you can do. Would love to come back in the dry season to see the difference.
Thank you for sharing your detailed experience! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour despite the wet season and appreciated the well-organized arrangements, from the comfortable bus to the supply stops. It's great that Daryl provided a balanced mix of information and fun, ensuring everyone had a good time and was comfortably dropped off near their accommodation. It sounds like you visited some fantastic sites like Fogg Dam, the Zebra Stone Centre, Wangi Falls, and Buley Rockholes, and enjoyed a refreshing dip at Buley Rockholes. We understand the limitations during the wet season, especially regarding croc safety at Wangi Falls, and appreciate your positive outlook on making the most of the trip. We look forward to welcoming you back in the dry season to experience even more of this beautiful region!
Kate and Duncan hosted us at their farm. In sum, it was a great experience. Learned so much about the farm country, their lifestyle, and was made to feel part of their family for a day. Would definitely recommend this experience.
We’re happy to know Kate and Duncan made your farm visit truly special and memorable.
I did 2 different tours with Autopia Tours while in Darwin and really got a good insight in to the Top End. Our guide to Litchfield Park, Daryl, gave us loads of information on the area and covered a lot of ground in one day. Swimming at the rockpol was very refreshing. The jumping crocodile tour was an unforgettable experience. I really enjoyed the day.

Swimming at the rockpool is indeed refreshing, and we're thrilled that the jumping crocodile tour left a lasting impression.
