Itinerary


Where to stay:


Make Discovery Parks - Alice Springs your ultimate pit stop. Just a quick hop from the CBD, we're your escape to natural wonders and rich local culture. Stay your way, with cosy cabins or laid-back safari tents. Cool off in the pool, let the kids bounce away on the jumping pillows and best of all, experience our brand-new water park, perfect for the whole family to enjoy. It's time for an adventure in the unforgettable NT.


What to do:


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.

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.

Discover the unique birds, plants and animals of Alice Springs Desert Park on a self-guided tour. Get up close with dingos, wander through the kangaroo enclosure and listen to fascinating presentations. Park entry includes access to talks, walking trails, the world's largest nocturnal house and more. 

This afternoon excursion takes place just 18kms outside of Alice Springs at Simpsons Gap, a natural wonder that explodes with colour as the sun sets, making it is the perfect spot to paint with watercolours! In this workshop you will learn the basics of watercolour painting in a series of exercises designed to help you to loosen up and have fun.


Where to eat:


Smack bang in the heart of the Red Centre, Alice Springs Brewery is where good beer, great people, and the Aussie outback come together. Brewed locally with passion (and a deep understanding of what it means to be thirsty out here), our beers are made for easy drinking, hot days, and stories shared with mates. Whether you're a local legend or just passing through, you'll find cold pints, bold flavours, and a warm welcome waiting for you. Your package includes one Voucher each person for a pizza and a schooner.
