On this day trip, you'll have the opportunity to visit West MacDonnell National Park – a diverse landscape home to rock formations, gorges and waterholes. After pickup, you'll travel to the park and begin with a scenic walk at Simpsons Gap, where you'll follow a riverbed to a natural rock amphitheatre. Next, you'll be able to take in Standley Chasm, where you'll pause for tea. A short path from here will lead to the Ochre Pits, a colourful rock wall sacred to the local Arrernte people.
Later, you'll stop for lunch at Ormiston Gorge before heading to a Mount Sonder lookout point. During the summer months, you'll also have the chance to go swimming at Ellery Creek Big Hole before the tour concludes.
