Itinerario
Dopo il prelievo al tuo hotel di Alice Springs, parti con la tua guida e un piccolo gruppo nel Parco Nazionale delle West MacDonnell Ranges per iniziare la tua esplorazione delle numerose attrazioni naturali della zona. Durante il giorno, la tua guida esperta condivide commenti informativi sulla storia naturale e culturale della regione.
Inizia con una passeggiata panoramica al Simpsons Gap, uno degli spazi più famosi del West MacDonnell Ranges. Segui un letto del fiume fino a un anfiteatro di roccia naturale mentre cerchi wallaby di roccia dai piedi neri in via di estinzione che saltano tra i massi.
Quindi ammira le alte pareti rocciose di Standley Chasm mentre passeggi tra gli alberi che fiancheggiano i binari tra cui acacie, cicadee, gengive fantasma e pini di cipresso. Prendi un tè mattutino allo Standley Chasm prima di dirigerti verso la tua prossima destinazione, le Ochre Pits.
Un breve sentiero conduce a pareti rocciose ricoperte da strati di ocra bianchi, gialli e rossi. Assicurati di portare la tua fotocamera per scattare foto delle tonalità mutevoli. Considerato un sito sacro per le popolazioni locali di Arrernte, le fosse ocra fornivano materiale tradizionalmente usato per cerimonie e commerci.
Più avanti lungo la strada, fermati per un pranzo da boscimano a Ormiston Gorge, che contiene una pozza d'acqua semipermanente. Cerca uccelli acquatici come l'airone del Pacifico e l'airone facciabianca, entrambi visitatori comuni della pozza d'acqua.
Continua verso Ellery Creek Big Hole, un sito geologico significativo e una delle pozze d'acqua più incontaminate dell'Australia centrale e rinfrescati con una nuotata.
La tua guida ti riporta al tuo hotel di Alice Springs per terminare il tour.

The day tour to West Macdonnell Rangers had lots of stops to see different places (plenty of toilet stops)- lovely walks to see stunning scenery and wildlife. We were not rushed and there was plenty of time for photos and given just enough information about each stop. Lunch was make your own wrap which was easy for all. Morning tea was provided at Stanley Chasm after walk. A very enjoyable day out in nature thanks to our guide/driver Andy from Emu Run Experience.
We really enjoyed this tour ! The pick up from our accommodation was right on time . Our tour guide Alex was new and did an amazing job ( very knowledgeable) Our bus driver Edvino was also very knowledgeable about the area. Our morning tea and lunch was delicious and the extra spots they took us to was great
The scenery was beautiful and walks were easy. Nice tea break and lunch. Andy gave us lots of information about the area. Pickup and drop off was easy. Great day.
We saw some great scenery. Even though our tour was modified because of road closures, they made up for it by taking us to other extremely interesting places in Alice Springs.
It was beautiful and interesting
Thanks so much for your review! We’re happy to hear you found the trip beautiful and interesting. Really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back again one day! Regards, Patrick - CEO
This was an excellent day tour with a very nice driver, guide. She was very informative and helpful. The visits to Simpsons Gap, Standley Chasm and Ormiston Gorge were amazing with outstanding views all round. Visiting the ochre pits with their amazing colours and history was another interesting site. The stop off at Ellery Creek also offered wonderful scenery and for some the opportunity to go for a swim. I would recommend this tour to anyone staying in Alice Springs.
Thank you for your kind words, John! It’s great to hear you had such a memorable day exploring the West MacDonnell Ranges and enjoyed the scenery and stories along the way. We really appreciate the recommendation and would love to welcome you back again in the future. Regards, Patrick - CEO
A great day out, due to an unexpected park closure, we had a lot more options of where to visit. It helped that there were only three of us, and had met the day before on another tour with the same company. Our guide Kylie accommodated all the visit requests, made other suggestions and generally ensured we had a great day. Note to the parks department, short notice cancellation of access for a staff party is not an acceptable practice.
We really enjoyed our day trip to the West McDonnell ranges on the small group bus tour. Matt was a great guide/driver and had an impressive knowledge of the history of the area. Most interesting. We enjoyed all the places we were taken to and found this to be a really good way to visit the key sites nearby. We had some overseas guests travelling with us and they were also very impressed.
Thanks so much for your kind words Judith! We’re glad you and your guests enjoyed the West MacDonnell Ranges tour and that Matt made the day so enjoyable with his knowledge and guidance. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon! Regards, Patrick - CEO
Loved what we saw just a shame that the guide was new and still learning. The guide was the only let down. The sights were beautiful
Beautiful day experiencing one of the marvels of Alice Springs region. Matt, our guide, was informative on the region, told great stories, and was a great driver as he drove us to all spots on itinerary and then added a few additional stops for more scenic pictures. It was a great tour!
