- Tim WElimbah, Australia449 contributionsBeutiful falls, easy accessLovely falls with viewing platform very close to the carpark. Unfortunately it was closed for swimming but can see that this would be a very popular swimming hole. There is also a cafe on site and free wi-fi which is handy. Would love to come back and have a swim one day!Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 22, 2024
- TwinMumma3514Brightwaters, Australia128 contributionsWonderful Wangi FallsBeautiful spot, waterfall is amazing, shame we couldn't swim due to crocs, but it's worth it just for the view. Such an incredible spot, felt very in touch with nature there. The walk to the top of the fall was great too, worth the hike.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 12, 2024
- AglassortwoMelbourne, Australia258 contributionsWongi FallsHad only been open a week after the seasonal croc check when we were there on a busy Monday. Quite a bit of renovation going on so not easy to find a place to change with facilities fenced off, but should be good when it's all done. Easy walk from car park. Plenty of people swimming, often with flotation aids. Had the briefest of dips as I was uncertain of depths. A popular and picturesque spot.Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten July 23, 2024

Very attractive destination within Litchfield National Park. From the lookout, it just feels like you are in front of a huge mesmerizing mural. Having lived in Darwin for more than three years, I have been here more than 20 times but always happy to re-visit. Takes about 2 hours drive from Darwin and you won't need a 4wd at all. There are free wifi, BBQ areas, toilets and small cafe for refreshments. Roads can be flooded and heavy rains can blind your windscreen completely during wet season, especially between December and Feb, but these are the months when the waterfall reaches its best. You will be amazed by the breeze carrying water from the waterfall hitting you while watching. And in dry seasons, when permitted and crocs are controlled, you may choose to swim if you are a good swimmer. Never seen life-savers around though. You may also choose to take a short easy loop walk (about 45 minutes) around the Wangi falls.

Wangi Falls is absolutely beautiful. We had an amazing time spent here. Even though the water at the Falls was closed as there had been a storm the day before and also, it is the wet season over summer this time of year. You could still walk around the area, but couldn’t do any bush walks that afternoon. Still the area is wonderful.

We arrived at lunchtime on a Friday (interstate school hols) and there were lots and lots of people! It is a huge area of water so plenty of space for a swim once you got in. Most of the shaded grass area near the edge was pretty full. There is a cafe which looks set up to deal with coaches of people and had sandwiches, some hot food and cold drinks, tired looking and not very appealing though.
Least favourite of the places we visited in Litchfield.

A large, beautiful waterhole that you can swim in once it has been declared croc safe for the season with the falls dropping into it at the upstream end. Just lovely.
There is a 2km circuit walk that takes up and around the top of the falls, where the stream flowing to them has a number of pretty rock holes and swimming/dipping spots to enjoy. A pleasant walk, a few steps to get up the top, interesting flora and both expansive views across the park and closer views of the waterway and falls.
Easy access on sealed roads means this spot is generally fairly busy.

The falls were still closed for swimming but we are so glad that we could get here to see the stunning view! We did the 1.6 km circuit walk which was one of our favourites as it’s such a tropic rainforest setting, it is fairly easy with some stairs. We saw no crocodiles but saw a croc trap. There is free wifi here, heaps of parking for cars and caravans and it’s an easy bitumen drive in.

Great spot for a picnic and a swim. The falls were 'falling' however I'm sure they would be much stronger in the rainy season. Plenty of covered picnic area with toilets and a cafe. This is a beautiful spot. There is a good viewing area as well as information boards. There is also a free wifi spot.

Depending on when you visit, the Wangi Falls are different during the dry and wet seasons. In the dry season, the falls are not as dynamic as it is in the wet seasons. Swimming in the plunge pool was not allowed when we visited because of the possibility of an increased risk of crocodiles. Regardless, the falls provide a beautiful photo opportunity. The rock face area around the falls and other nearby areas are sacred places for the Aboriginals who believed spirits in the form of humans, animals and plants created the features of the landscape here. History notes these falls were a special place for indigenous women to bathe and swim. It is believed men who looked at the women were lured into the waters and to their death. Be respectful.

Sadly we couldn’t get in for a swim today, but the falls are a beautiful sight, a very short stroll from the car park. Try the easy 30 minute treetop walk loop to experience the savannah and rainforest ecology around the falls. There’s toilets and a cafe and picnic areas by the car parking area.

Went out to Litchfield for a day trip and went to Wangi Falls first and it did not disappoint. Even though it was wet season and we couldn’t swim (as the water levels were too high) we could still do the 1.7km loop walk and stand and admire the stunning waterfall.
Highly recommend.
