5.00The tour is well run with a small group. The guide is very knowledgeable. The scenery speaks for itself and is perfect. The afternoon provides an added delight of being able to swim in the waterholes surrounded 350million year old geological formations. It is like being cradled in the jewels of the earth.
Great relaxed tour

5.00Thank you. Thank you. This was an excellent tour with our very knowledgeable guide and driver Fred. It was a small and manageable group of 12 all picked up from our respective hotels in Alice Springs. It was a really well-paced tour seeing all the sights of the West MacDonnell Ranges. We never felt rushed and had time to chat and get to know our fellow tourists. The bus was really comfortable, There were plenty of supplies of food and drink on a really hot day, a lovely inclusive lunch at Standley Chasm, and an opportunity to swim at 2 beautiful waterholes. It was also well-priced. I highly recommend this tour to anyone with a day to spare who has a love of nature and history.

5.00This was an ideal look at the West Macdonnell Ranges. I don't think we.could have fitted in any more stops. Fred from France was our guide and had an extensive knowledge of the Red Cente. He was also very sensitive to Aboriginal culture. We had 2 swimming experiences at Ellery Creek Big Hole and Ormiston Gorge. Could have stayed at either all day. Lunch was at Standley Chasm. Great if you like Burgers. The overall tour was relaxing and there was no hurry up and rushing to the next.spot. Overall a wonderful experience. Thanks Fred.
Highly recommend

5.00I had an amazing time on this trip! Our guide, Sana, picked me up from the Mercure Hotel, and we headed straight to our first destination. Every stop was breathtaking, with two beautiful waterholes perfect for swimming. The weather was ideal, and the colors of the landscape were simply stunning—my photos turned out fantastic. The company provided light snacks, including apples, mandarins, and crackers, along with a fresh and nourishing lunch. There was also plenty of drinking water available to refill our bottles, which was much appreciated. The bus was spacious and comfortable, making the entire journey relaxing. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Alice Springs—it’s an experience you won’t want to miss!
A great experience

5.00We travelled to the West MacDonnell Ranges with Fred, an excellent and knowledgeable driver and guide. The sites were accessible and beautiful, with opportunities to swim at two of them. We had an excellent lunch at Standley Chasm and plenty of snacks and cold water available all day. Fred was able to tell us a lot about the geology and flora at each place, and give us culturally significant information too. Highly recommend this tour, especially if Fred is your guide.
The best day!

5.00I’ve just returned from a day touring the West MacDonnell Ranges with tour guide James. The scenery was outstanding. We saw beautiful gorges, mountains, waterholes, flowers, trees and wildlife (including kites, buzzards, goannas and wallabies). The pace was relaxed, allowing plenty of time to enjoy each location. James’ commentary was interesting and knowledgeable and he was happy to answer any questions. He facilitated the group to feel connected, friendly and fun.
Great day tour.

5.00I had such an amazing day exploring the West MacDonnell Ranges, absolutely stunning! James, our guide, was a total 10/10. Super knowledgeable and passionate, he shared so much about the culture, history, and wildlife, and you could really tell he loves what he does. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide, group, or day. I’d 100% recommend this tour!
10/10 day! Highly recommend

5.00Honestly, what an unforgettable trip! Couldn’t recommend it enough. The West MacDonnell Ranges are truly a stunning part of the country – rich in beauty, culture, and history. James was the perfect guide: a true gentleman with endless knowledge about the land, its stories, and its people. The tour wasn't rushed at all. Plus we got some extra little hidden gems. I walked away having learned so much. Only thing left is for him to finally conquer his fear of horses 🤣
