Immerse yourself in the raw beauty of the Australian outback with our Alice Springs Desert Park Entry & Transfers experience – it’s a wild, memorable half-day adventure that you can experience with the flexibility of transfers from your accommodation and entry to one of the Northern Territory’s hidden gems – Alice Springs Desert Park.
Your adventure starts when our bus collects you from your Alice Springs accommodation at roughly 7:45 am. Just grab a coffee and sit back for the ride to the Alice Springs Desert Park – an amazing destination.
Once you arrive, you’ve got a few hours to get to know the place at your own pace. Look out for the unique landscapes, native plants and animals that make this desert home.
Recommended experiences include:
Nature Theatre Show – this one’s a real highlight – watch free-flying birds of prey do their thing and learn about the important role they play in the desert ecosystem. The show runs twice a day – at 10:00 am during summer and both at 10:00 am and 3:30 pm during winter.
Nocturnal House – a fascinating visit to the desert after dark – where else can you see creatures you wouldn’t normally catch a glimpse of?
Survival in the Desert Presentation – get an insight into how the amazing plants, animals and Indigenous cultures have adapted to live in this incredible but extreme environment.
Wildlife Encounters – really get up close with the wildlife – kangaroos, dingos and birds – and explore the aviaries and see the amazing desert birdlife.
Kata Tjuta: Walpa Gorge Walk & Big-Screen Movie – really get immersed in the storytelling and cinematic experiences that tell the story of the deserts – truly mesmerizing!
When you’ve finished up, we’ll get you back to Alice Springs in comfort. We aim to get you back at approximately 12:00 pm.
This Alice Springs Desert Park Entry & Transfers deal’s generally pretty accessible, even for families or older visitors. The walking paths are designed to be easy to navigate, but there might be some uneven ground to watch out for – and guests with mobility needs are welcome to get in touch to make sure everything’s okay for them.
Sorry, but food’s not included in this experience. If you’ve got dietary needs, it’s a good idea to bring your own snacks and water to keep you going.
If you need to cancel your day tour or transfer more than 4 days before it’s set to happen, you can get a refund minus a $20 administration fee.
But if you cancel within 3 days of the experience, sorry – you won’t get your money back. However, the booking amount will be held as credit until the end of the season, so you can still use it later if you want to.
And if the tour operator has to cancel because of weather or other reasons, you get to choose between a different date or a refund, depending on what works best for you.
