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, accessible via sealed roads from Darwin.

Relax in the expansive picnic areas 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 carpark, or a return option to the Treetop viewing platform. Wangi also provides access to the extended 39 km walk on the Tabletop Track. Visitors intending to undertake this hike must book before arriving in the park and be well prepared.

The falls are closed to swimming during the wet season from October to March, as currents can become strong and dangerous and saltwater crocodiles cannot be excluded from the pool. During this time however, the fast-flowing falls make for spectacular photography. Camping and picnic facilities remain open year-round.
