Wangi Falls

Wangi Falls is the best-known and most popular attraction in Litchfield National Park – a park renowned for its accessibility and pristine natural beauty. The falls are found near the western boundary of the park, 150 kilometres south of Darwin along sealed roads.

Relax in the expansive manicured lawns of the picnic area and watch the water from the two falls cascade over the rock escarpments into the large plunge pool below. Take a dip in the pool, which is surrounded by lush monsoon rainforest. There is a kiosk, picnic tables and barbecues with a campground and hot showers nearby. All campsites bookings must be made online before you visit.

There are various walking tracks, including a three kilometre loop track that takes you up and over the falls and back to the car park, or a return option to the Treetop viewing platform. The falls are regularly closed to swimming during the wet season from October to March, as currents in the pool can become strong and dangerous. During this time however, the fast-flowing falls make for spectacular photography. Camping, kiosk and picnic facilities remain open year round.
