Description
Your guide will collect you from outside your Alice Springs accommodation at 7:45am.
You’ll see spectacular outback scenery and have ample photo opportunities as we travel along the magnificent West MacDonnell Ranges, stopping at historic sites.
Enjoy beautiful walks at Simpsons Gap, Standley Chasm (for morning tea), and the Ochre Pits.
Our next stop is at Ormiston Gorge for a bushman's lunch. On our way back to Alice Springs, we stop to spend time at Ellery Creek Big Hole. This waterhole is one of Central Australia’s most pristine, so don’t forget your swimmers in the warmer months!
The panoramic landscapes of the West MacDonnell Ranges are extraordinary for their immensity and the spectacular array of sunburnt oranges, maroons and purples on display.
In the winter months, these mighty ranges light up in brilliant oranges and reds at sunset on the return journey to Alice Springs.
You can expect to be back at your accommodation at approximately 5:30 pm.
