Absolutely the bestest day out. Crocs jumping Waterhole swimming was divine Our guide Dylan was knowledgeable and enthusiastic to share this. His stories and yarns were also fun. Very fun and relaxing day. One word of warning. Expect an early pickup
Great experience being out on the river first thing in the morning, with no other boats around, and seeing the crocs jumping was incredible. Damo was a great guide—very informative, knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the day. Would definitely recommend!
Hello Luke, thank you for your review, much appreciated. Glad you had a great day out with Damo and Litchfield Escapes, regards Leanne
Thank you Dylan our amazing tour guide. Great day tour to do if you want to tick off some must see and do items while you’re in Darwin. Getting so close to Brutus and the Dominator was very cool. The dip in the waters was beautiful & refreshing. And the termites were tasty.
Hi Anna, thank you for your review, much appreciated. Glad you had a great day out with Dylan and Litchfield Escapes, regards Leanne
Absolutely fabulous day trip from Darwin. Jumping Croc tour was way better than we had imagined. They can really jump! The tour to Litchfield was beautiful. The swimming holes were really special and we enjoyed every one of them. The guide Lars was a real character and the spread for lunch was great. I’d recommend both companies Adelaide River Jumping Croc Cruise @adelaiderivercruises and Litchfield Escapes. Beware of TripAdvisor charging US$ on the Australian site !!
Hello and thank you for your review, much appreciated, glad you had a great day out with Lars and Litchfield Escapes. Regards Leanne
booked through another booking agency/tour company, and ONLY found out the tour had been cancelled 7 day prior, when I rang the company to ask a clarifying question...although our payment was still accepted!!!! We quickly booked through Trip Advisor/Litchfield Experiences, and within 10 minites I received a call from the lovely Leanne, telling me she had received the booking, that the tour WAS going ahead, advising me of the 'early' pick up time, as well as what we should bring! Anyhous 😉 On the day of our tour we were picked up by our driver, tour guide, comedian, crocodile whisper and flora and fauna expert Dammo, ON TIME! I am a time freak, so appreciated Dammo's time discipline that he adhered to for the whole day! Then our small group were on our way! It wasnt long into the trip that Dammo's character, and Top End sense of humour were apparent, so BRING YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR with you!!! Our crocodile experience was FANTASTIC! Dammo gave us some up close and personal experiences with both female and male crocodiles, having them all come close to the boat as well as leaping out of the water, including the two massive males, Dominator and Brutus! INCREDIBLE! We then travelled to Litchfield National Park where again Dammo shared his extensive knowledge of the flora and fauna, as well as adding many other interesting facts and stories! We stopped and swam at three waterholes, with each offering its own unique, but enjoyable attributes! A MUST see and do!! We also stopped to look at a massive Cathedral Termite mound! However, on the way Dammo provided us with a comprehensive and interesting explanation of the different types of termite mounds, including the Cathedral, Magnetic and I think one other, their occupants and other individual attributes!! My wife and I had an incredible day, and the early start was well worth it! We will not only be talking about this wonderful adventure for many years to come, but also recommending Litchfield Experience to who ever we can! Thank you to Leanne for your timely and very much appreciated phone call! And of course thank you Dammo! Your knowledge of your craft, you sense of humour and ensuring EVERYONE on your tour gets the VERY BEST Experience possible, is to be applauded! You obviously love what you do! And I certainly appreciated your adherance to time management!! A GREAT EXPERIENCE!
Hello and thank you for your review and kind words. Very much appreciated. Glad you had a great day out with Damo and LITCHFIELD ESCAPES. Regards Leanne
We had an amazing day exploring Litchfield National Park and experiencing the Jumping Crocodile Cruise! The waterfalls and natural scenery at Litchfield were absolutely beautiful, and the jumping crocodile cruise was exciting and unforgettable. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole day enjoyable. It was a fantastic experience and a great way to see some of the Northern Territory’s incredible wildlife and landscapes. Highly recommended!

Great day out. We saw and learned about crocodiles, had the chance to swim in 3 swimming holes and a beautiful lunch. Thanyou.
Hi Gail, thank you for your review, much appreciated. Glad you had a great day out with Damo and Litchfield Escapes. Regards Leanne
We had the most wonderful experience! Dylan was an absolutely fantastic tour guide—knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. He kept us laughing and engaged throughout the entire day and made the tour truly memorable. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough!
Hi Joanne, thank you for your review, much appreciated. Glad you had a great day out with Dylan and Litchfield Escapes. Regards Leanne
My wife and I went on this tour on 21/7/26. Multi-talented Damo was our super driver, guide, entertainer and cook. The tour was top notch, excellent value and is a must to do in Darwin. However, I am here particularly to tell how helpful Damo was. I got lost returning from the Florence Falls and was late for bus pick up. Without inconveniencing the others, Damo dropped them at the next falls and came back to pick me. After arriving at the hotel, I found out that my phone was missing. Damo located the phone in the bus and promptly returned it to me.

Amazing experience! You got a perfect amount of time at each stop and the whole tour was very well organised. Our tour guide was amazing and kept us entertained the whole time while giving us a wide range of facts about all the different locations and animals seen on the trip! Would highly recommend. :)
