Outdoor Activities in Northern Territory

Take a full-day detour from Alice Springs to visit Palm Valley - a fertile oasis in the midst of the Outback that's accessible only by 4WD vehicle. See ancient rock formations and spring-fed pools, and enjoy a picnic lunch in Finke Gorge National Park. Learn about the area's indigenous history with a visit to the Aboriginal community of Hermannsburg, where you can tour the town mission and a local painter's home.

Enjoy a camel tour against the incredible backdrop of Ayers Rock (Uluru) and Kata Tjuta. Choose an express camel ride in the morning or afternoon, or select a sunrise tour (includes billy tea and baked beer bread) or a sunset tour (includes sparking wine, beer or soft drinks with snacks) and watch the changing colors of Uluru at dawn or dusk. You're led through the outback in Australia's Red Centre by an expert cameleer who shares knowledge of the desert's wildlife and ecology along the way. Hotel transport included.

Enjoy an authentic desert adventure right in the heart of Australia, as you ride a camel close to Alice Springs. Mount up for a thrilling 1-hour circuit along red sand tracks and forest trails; and spot wild kangaroos and wallabies from your unique vantage point. Finally, stop for a memorable photo against a dramatic backdrop of the Western MacDonell Ranges.

Combine two of the best ways to see the Australian outback - by air and on a quad bike - on a single tour. Fly over Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Lake Amadeus and Kings Canyon, landing to transfer to a quad bike.
