This unique 2 day West MacDonnell Ranges adventure tour offers the very best of the Alice Springs region: the West MacDonnell Ranges and Palm Valley as well as a night out bush, camping under our magnificent southern stars. Travelling in a 4WD vehicle with a genuine small group (max. 14 people), we explore highlights such as Ormiston Gorge, Glen Helen Gorge, Owen Springs Reserve, the Hermannsburg Settlement as well as 4-wheel driving into Palm Valley.

DAY 1 (Lunch & Dinner)
After an early start and collecting you from your accommodation around 5.45am we head south of Alice Springs to Oak Valley. We now spend the morning checking out the sights of Oak Valley including Rock Paintings and carvings with your Aboriginal Host. Departing the area, we head back along the Hugh River Stock Route taking a short cut across Owen Springs Reserve cutting into the West MacDonnell Ranges. Stopping at Ormiston Gorge we will hike the "Ghost Gum Walk" and take a swim in the beautiful surrounding rock pools for those keen. After a visit to Glen Helen later in the day we then stop at our next bush camp for another night under our magnificent southern stars!

DAY 2 (Breakfast & Lunch)
After breaking camp we head off around Namatjira Drive stopping at Tyler's Pass to view Gosse Bluff (comet crater) along the way. From this point it's on towards Hermannsburg, an Historic Lutheran Mission established in 1877. On arrival at Hermannsburg we'll visit the heritage precinct where you can explore the historic buildings and grounds.

Departing Hermannsburg we lock in the hubs and 4-wheel drive into Palm Valley. After lunch we'll go for a hike through this picturesque valley discovering some of its hidden treasures. After our hike it's back into the vehicle and off home to Alice Springs. We'll have you back in Alice early evening and meet later for a few more quiet drinks and to farewell new found friends.
