Itinerary
Where to Stay:
Desert Palms offers comfortable, air-conditioned studio 3.5 star accommodation with kitchenettes and private verandahs set in an atmosphere of tropical paradise amid graceful palms and trailing bougainvillea. For relaxation there is a large fully tiled island swimming pool with waterfall and the Alice Springs golf course is our backyard.
What to do:
Experience the Red Centre at a relaxed pace on this five-day small group adventure from Alice Springs. 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.
Your magical night on your Spirit of the Outback dinner with star gazing starts with sipping a complimentary beverage whilst you experience the evening ambience from our ancient sand dune as the sun sets over the majestic East 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.
