A tour with Ethical Adventures is one that will stay with you long after it’s over. My 2 day/1 night Litchfield trip was fantastic! Rob is knowledgeable and passionate about the NT - we went to the most stunning locations for walking and swimming and our overnight camp - he guided us to places away from crowds so we often had swimming holes to ourselves! The food was great and we enjoyed banter a plenty!
Rob’s passion for the environment and the ethics behind travel are second to none. This is the kind of travel operator that will ensure the longevity and sustainability of the ‘WOW moments’ we all seek as a traveler.

Amazing 2 day experience in Litchfield. Everything is fully catered for all you have to do is turn up and enjoy the experience.
Rob has so much knowledge of the area, carefully plans each hike, lagoon swim around what will give you the best experience. For me that meant I got to see the beautiful natural areas without the crowds.
I highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore the natural wonders of Litchfield.
