In the event of rain or inclement weather, your experience will still go ahead, unless contacted by the provider.

      West Macdonnell Ranges (Tjoritja) & Standley Chasm Tour

      Known traditionally as Angkerle Atwatye, meaning โ€œGap of Waterโ€, Standley Chasm is a 3-metre-wide, 80-metre-high gorge amongst the West MacDonnell Ranges.

      We hope to spot the native wildlife as we explore this beautifully rugged area before we track west and are tempted to dip in Ellery Creek Bighole, known traditionally as Udepata, surrounded by tall red cliffs and sandy Ellery Creek. Onwards to where massive geological forces created the towering red walls of Ormiston Gorge.

      Spend time here admiring nature and its finest before we begin our leisurely journey back towards Alice Springs, with our final stop at another amazing feature of the Tjoritja West MacDonnells region, Simpsons Gap, where several dreaming trails and stories cross. Featuring a permanent waterhole this is also a great place to spot resident wildlife.

      Now weโ€™ve had our fix of some of the best of central Australiaโ€™s natural icons, we deliver you back to Alice Springs to your chosen accommodation and evening plans as you reminisce on your day of exploration.


      Meals: Lunch. Driving Distance:  310 km. Walking Distance: ~3km / 4km.
