Review of Darwin’s Litchfield and Jumping Crocodile tour, with waterfalls, swimming holes, lunch, termite mounds, and a small-group river cruise.

“Our guide, Will, was amazing! He drove the bus while telling good stories and a wide range of local knowledge the whole time; history, bush tucker, everything! Will also pointed out everything we needed to know. He had a great sense of humour and kept it fun but very safety conscious with the jumping crocs. It was very well organised, he's great at his job.”

4.Blue Mountains National Park Tour with River Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 701 reviews · 10h 30m · from $70Best value

Review of Oz Trails’ Blue Mountains tour from Sydney, with waterfalls, Scenic World, Sydney Zoo, local guides, and a Parramatta River cruise.

“Les was my guide, he was amazing the whole trip. First you stop in the zoo, we were the first ones so the zoo was empty (around 9am) and it was great because we could enjoy the whole area without waiting long queues. The trip is worth it, stopping in some points where you can enjoy the Blue mountains with “three sisters”in front of you. Then you stop in other points to see the waterfall and other cool places. I highly recommend.”
