With a flexible itinerary and expert local guide, you’ll explore iconic sights like Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon, and both the West and East MacDonnell Ranges. Discover hidden gems like Trephina Gorge and Emily Gap, swim in outback waterholes, and connect with local Arrernte culture. By night, the outback sky comes alive. Enjoy a First Nations night sky experience, where ancient stories and knowledge transform the stars into a living cultural landscape, followed by unforgettable stargazing in some of the clearest skies on Earth. This is a true Aussie adventure with the freedom to slow down, connect, and explore.
To really appreciate the amazing landscape over Alice Springs is to see it from above. Experience the breathtaking feeling of floating silently above the Outback in a hot air balloon as the morning light begins to illuminate the MacDonnell Ranges.

After dinner and as darkness of space emerges, your star gazing experience will go galactic. Kick back as your astronomer will share the magic of the zodiacs and constellations with a laser-guided journey through the southern night sky. Be introduced to the Earth Sanctuary Space Observatory and deep sky telescope viewing of celestial highlights for this special occasion.
