Outdoor Activities in Northern Territory

Combine two of the best ways to see the Australian outback - by air and on a quad bike - on a single tour. Fly over Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Lake Amadeus and Kings Canyon, landing to transfer to a quad bike. With a guide in the lead and all equipment and instruction provided, explore the rugged territory, learning about the area's unique flora and fauna.

Take a full-day detour from Alice Springs to visit Palm Valley - a fertile oasis in the midst of the Outback that's accessible only by 4WD vehicle. See ancient rock formations and spring-fed pools, and enjoy a picnic lunch in Finke Gorge National Park. Learn about the area's indigenous history with a visit to the Aboriginal community of Hermannsburg, where you can tour the town mission and a local painter's home.

Feel the ultimate adrenaline rush as you free-fall from a height of 12,000 feet (3,657 meters) on this daring tandem skydiving flight. Strap on your parachute and take to the skies, accompanied by your expert skydiving instructor. After the high-speed free-fall, enjoy glorious views of UNESCO-listed Uluru (Ayers Rock), Lake Amadeus and Mt Conner as your parachute opens up and you float back down to land. Hotel pick-up, equipment and full instruction is included, ensuring a safe experience, and photos and videos of your skydive are available to purchase.

Enjoy an authentic desert adventure right in the heart of Australia, as you ride a camel close to Alice Springs. Mount up for a thrilling 1-hour circuit along red sand tracks and forest trails; and spot wild kangaroos and wallabies from your unique vantage point. Finally, stop for a memorable photo against a dramatic backdrop of the Western MacDonell Ranges.

Enjoy a camel tour against the incredible backdrop of Ayers Rock (Uluru) and Kata Tjuta. Choose an express camel ride in the morning or afternoon, or select a sunrise tour (includes billy tea and baked beer bread) or a sunset tour (includes sparking wine, beer or soft drinks with snacks) and watch the changing colors of Uluru at dawn or dusk. You're led through the outback in Australia's Red Centre by an expert cameleer who shares knowledge of the desert's wildlife and ecology along the way. Hotel transport included.
