★★★★★Viator review
A true blue tour - once in a lifetime
Caitlan_H, October 2026
Don’t let the early start fool you. This tour is absolutely worth it! Our group had Dylan as our guide and he was like a fountain of local Northern Territory Knowledge, could tell you almost anything you wanted to know about the wildlife, flora and fauna, history of the land, aboriginal cultural practices and even more. He knew how to get us pumped about the next location and kept all his jokes in good taste. Croc tour was great, got super close to quite a few despite being their mating season. Swimming in the waterfalls was a dream and the guide knew when it was ideal to swim based on croc presence. Even got bit by a brim but no harm! The food provided was fresh and perfect after a swim, and our guide accommodated everybody’s different diets and needs. Termite hill was also surprisingly cool. Would recommend this to anyone visiting the top end.

An amazing, memorable day!
Juelz_S, October 2026
What an amazing day! Such a well organised tour, with a very knowledgeable and fun tour guide. Seeing the crocodiles on the Adelaide river was equal parts exhilarating and terrifying! The waterfalls and swimming locations were breathtakingly beautiful. An amazing lunch, and great snacks. Just an amazing and memorable day. Driver and tour guide Dylan was an absolute legend.

Great adventure
665udayas, September 2026
We had a great day with Litchﬁeld Escapes visiting Jumping crocodiles, three natural swimming holes and monstrous termite mounds. The day passed like clock work. Our lovely guide Dylan made the 420km round trip tireless with his great humour combined with knowledge and way of story telling. A bit of an advice, just listen to Dylan during the long drive without sinking into listening to your music etc cos he is one of a kind entertainer. The early morning pick up and drop off from our hotel made the day so much easier. We highly recommend this tour. Udaya and Manouri

Great day out
Charlotte_S, September 2026
I had a great day, Damo was a knowledgable tour guide and shared heaps of local knowledge and stories. The swimming locations were amazing and the lunch was yum. A great way to see Litchfield. The croc cruise was epic and we saw some huge crocs. I would recommend.
