NZ's North Island Self Drive Tours

Take a leisurely tour north on a 13 day Alice Springs to Darwin road trip and marvel in this ancient landscape and the civilisation that has dwelt there across the ages. The drive between Darwin and Alice Springs is a straight 1500km stretch following the Stuart Highway - with plenty to see and do along the way. Highlights will be the days spent in Alice Springs, Nitmiluk National Park and Darwin. This is a land of contrasts - high canyons, lush rainforests, desert basins and spectacular sunsets setting across tranquil bodies of water and desert skies.

Take a thrilling journey to the heart of the Red Centre, sacred homeland of indigenous Australians for over 50,000 years. A sunrise trek round the base of Ayers Rock, a bone-4WD safari to Palm Valley Oasis, and breathtaking hikes among the giant rock formations of Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon. Can there be a more exciting introduction to the great Aussie Outback?
