About this tour »

This 6 day trip combines beautiful experiences of both the land and culture of Central Australia, doing short walks and spending time with Aboriginal people.

You spend 3 days exploring the West MacDonnell ranges, enjoying fully-supported bush camping and guided walks through some of the highlights of this long and varied range, returning to a camp every evening. You only carry a daypack as you walk and, in the evenings, enjoy our delicious campfire cooking, talk around the campfire and then sleep in cosy swags under the starry bush sky.

Then we take you to a remote and special place on Aboriginal Land: Town Bore Oustation, for the Waritja Trip. Here, you spend 3 days with your Indigenous tour host, Ada Lechleitner. This portion of this tour is designed and hosted by Indigenous people. Trek Larapinta is proud to support this independent Aboriginal enterprise.

An excellent way to connect "through experience, community and country."

Trek Larapinta: visions to reality »

Having a vision is what keeps us inspired. For us, it's the idea of 'connecting through experience, community and country'. This vision has become this company's foundation. It influences all our tours, but it also inspires us to develop new ones.

So we have developed new tours in the West MacDonnell Ranges, such as the All In Good Time Trek and Mt Giles Adventure. We also support new Indigenous Tourism businesses, such as the Waritja and Thakaperte trips.

Participating in any of these tours will give you a new and unique experience of connecting with this land or the people who live here. The Culture and Country tour does both and is for those who want a rounded experience of the Red Centre. We hope to see you out here someday.
