LITCHFIELD DAY TOUR
Available ALL YEAR – The schedule below is a GUIDELINE and does vary through the year.
Begin your small group luxury Litchfield tour with convenient pickup from your Darwin accommodation around 7.00 am. Journey south in Mercedes comfort along the Stuart Highway to the crystal clear waters of Berry Springs.
BERRY SPRINGS NATURE RESERVE
Berry Springs includes a diverse range of habitat and options. In addition, from the depths of the earth, clear geothermal waters rise to the surface and cascade over a small waterfall. This creates the perfect opportunity to sit and enjoy a relaxing water massage. The moment also lends itself to savoring homemade mango muffins and morning coffee.
After the massage perhaps paddle or swim around and watch the abundant aquatic wildlife. Maybe you would rather just sit stay in the waterfall or go for a serene rainforest stroll along the creek.
Reluctantly leaving this piece of heaven we set our sights on the wonderland which is Litchfield National Park.
Note: Berry Springs is usually seasonally closed from November to end of April and as such will not be included in the itinerary during this time.
