Litchfield Fly & Swim

Tour Overview

Elevate your Litchfield National Park experience. Literally. The Litchfield Fly & Swim is a boutique helicopter tour designed for those who want something beyond the usual. From Darwin, you’ll soar above the Top End’s iconic cascades, then touch down at a secluded spot for a private swim in the rock pools. Whether it’s a romantic proposal, anniversary, or simply a desire to do something extraordinary, this is one of the most intimate ways to experience the park.

Your flight path includes sweeping aerial views of Wangi Falls, Tolmer Falls the Cascades, and on the return leg, Florence Falls. The highlight is the landing at Sandy Creek Falls (also known as Tjaynera), where you’ll have about an hour to stretch your legs, explore, and soak in the serenity of this remote setting.
