Your Travel itinerary

Your guide will meet you outside of your Alice Springs accommodations.
As we journey, for instance, down the gorgeous West MacDonnell Ranges, stopping at historic places, you’ll witness spectacular outback scenery and have plenty of photo opportunities.

Beautiful treks can be found at Simpsons Gap, Standley Chasm (for morning tea), the Ochre Pits, and Ormiston Gorge.

Glen Helen is our next location for a sit-down buffet meal. But we stop at Ellery Creek Big Hole on our way back to Alice Springs. This waterhole is one of the most pure in Central Australia, so bring your swimmers in the warmer months!

The vastness and breathtaking variety of sun-bleached oranges, maroons, and purples on exhibit in the West MacDonnell Ranges’ panoramic panoramas make them extraordinary.
On the way back to Alice Springs at nightfall during the winter, these huge ranges glow brilliantly in oranges and reds.
Around 5:30 p.m., you can anticipate returning to your lodging.
