— What You Can Expect —


Embark on a full-day exploration of the magnificent West MacDonnell Ranges, a
region known for its striking red rock formations and breathtaking outback
scenery. This immersive tour offers an in-depth experience of one of
Australia's most awe-inspiring landscapes. Departing from your Alice Springs
accommodation in the early morning, you'll travel through the majestic ranges,
stopping at historic sites, gorges, and waterholes. Your guide will provide
insightful commentary as you marvel at the towering red cliffs glowing under
the desert sun.


Throughout the day, you'll enjoy leisurely walks at stunning locations like
Simpsons Gap and Standley Chasm, where you’ll stop for morning tea. Visit the
ancient Ochre Pits, a sacred site for the local Indigenous people, before
heading to Ormiston Gorge for a delicious sit-down lunch. In the warmer
months, don’t miss the opportunity to take a refreshing swim in the pristine
waters of Ellery Creek Big Hole.


The day culminates with the return journey to Alice Springs, where you'll
witness the West MacDonnell Ranges transform into a palette of brilliant
oranges and reds at sunset, a perfect end to a memorable outback adventure.

Itinerary

  • Your guide will collect you from outside your Alice Springs accommodation. 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.

  • The next stop is at Ormiston Gorge for a sit-down lunch. On the 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!
