Of what we could see of the falls, they look lovely as they were fenced out due to fluids and crocks.

Another great NT water experience. Easily accessible; walks as well as mini-waterfalls; a nice way to cool off after a day's adventure at the Territory Wildlife Park.

Love this warm spring that has a small drop waterfall, plenty of room to make your own but don't forget your pool noodle or buy one from the kiosk for $6. Love the deep and crystal clear colour of the water, 3 entrances in the water and this nature park has a great 1km walk with a magnificent strangler fig and boardwalk.

A relaxing day out. We took a picnic and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The swimming was great I would recommend taking a noodle if your not a strong swimmer

Another must do in Darwin. Whether you come here on a tour or by car, it's worth a visit. It's a great place to spend the day with kids. Bring a picnic blanket and spend the day on the grass and in the water. The area has a toilet block and small kiosk where you can hire pool noodles and buy icey treats. Upper pools are ideal for small children as it's much shallower. The main pool is quite deep and you will need a pool noodle, particularly if you aren't comfortable treading water. No one in our group could reach the bottom. The water is nice and warm. The area could potentially get crowded with tour buses but it wasn't too bad during our visit.

Just a fantastic place. Great for family and friends. I took my three girls. They loved it and did not want to leave. Well done to all the people who look after this park.

Berry springs is a bit of a hidden gem, not in the sense that it's unknown, but in the sense that it can sound a bit boring when you first hear about it. but i promise you, this is one of the most beautiful places i have ever seen.
its gorgeous, seriously. no photo can really capture the beauty of this place. beautiful blue water, dense green tropical vegetation surrounding the swimming holes, family friendly, and a good atmosphere.
do yourself a massive favor and make a day trip out of berry springs and the territory wildlife park.
best of all, it's free to visit.
bring some pool noodles and a lilo and just relax. It's better than a spa.
And its usually, Croc free and safe.
remember, Be CrocWise.

A wonderful place for an afternoon swim! Particularly good addition to a day at the nearby territory wildlife park
Whist it can get busy it generally still feels quiet when you are in the water
Pool noodles make it all the more relaxing so remember to bring them

It's best to look at the Litchfield NP on the NN Tourism page. It wasn't when we visited but might be now.

Are there a lot of fish in here, ones that like to nibble at you?? I'm a little "scared" of them touching me - more in a phobic way. Eeek!

Any 🐊mr snappy crocs find there way into this part ?
When they say unsafe do they mean during wet season, not because of 🐊 ?

We swam at Berry Springs in July and it was on a Monday we saw a notice on the Friday when we got home saying they had caught a 1.6 meter crocodile at the very spot we had been swimming in. They closed Berry Springs whilst they removed the crocodile and reopened it once they where sure it was safe to use again. There where heaps of people swimming there when we where there Im sure they keep a pretty good lookout for any crocs because so many go there.
Do you need a FWD to access Berry Springs?
