Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Finke Gorge National Park, Finke Gorge National Park, Northern Territory

Palm Valley

We will follow the scenic Palm Valley 4WD track along the famous Finke River to the uniquely astonishing landscape deep in Palm Valley. We will pass the amazing pinnacles of the Amphitheatre and through the beautiful Cycad Gorge before arriving at more than 3,000 giant Red Cabbage Palms. Our guide will share with you the mystery behind these special trees, the only palm trees found in Central Australia. On the way enjoy a sumptuous European-style morning tea with a selection of home-made buns, fresh fruit, yoghurt, teas and Italian-style brewed coffee.

You will follow the Mpulungkinya Walk (5km, 2 hrs return) through this ancient oasis, along a river bed with towering palms and stunning lookouts from the valley escarpment. You will discover Palm Valley’s unique environment including rare relict plant species and the spring-fed pools that support an array of unusual plants and animals. Our guide will also enlighten you on the cultural significance of the region to the local Arrernte Aboriginal people.

Duration: 4 hours

Stop At: Hermannsburg Historic Precinct, Hermannsburg Road, Hermannsburg, Northern Territory 0872 Australia

Known as Ntaria to the local Aboriginal residents. Established in 1877, Hermannsburg was a Lutheran mission for more than 100 years and the historic Heritage Precinct is wonderfully preserved today.

Hermannsburg was also the birthplace of the renowned Aboriginal landscape painter Albert Namatjira, and the origin of the Hermannsburg School art movement. Walk through the mission and gain a fascinating insight into life for the pioneering missionaries and their early contact with Aboriginal people. You will also have an opportunity to purchase art or souvenirs in the art gallery and gift shop before returning to Alice Springs after an unforgettable day in the Outback.

Duration: 1 hour

    Despite getting our dates wrong, Filippo organised a trip for us with less than a days notice. Our driver and guide was Dale who was very friendly, a lot of fun , enthusiatic and easy going. She drove expertly over the rocky terrain and took us on the longer walk which was truly beautiful. As Melbournites we especially appreciated the stove top coffee and home made cakes. One minor criticism would be that we would have expected a better lunch for the money. Highly recommend.

    Thanks to Filippo Gelada and his Outback Elite tours are long overdue. He was the only operator we could find in Alice Springs’ September Covid 19-ravaged tourism sector to make a trip to Palm Valley a reality. I think it’s fair to say he left no stone unturned and the upshot was that at short notice Andrew Langford became our tour guide. Andrew is a man of many talents – a sought-after didgeridoo player willing to give us an open-air workshop, a horticulturist explaining the families of plants around us, as well as knowledgeable about the area’s geology, something which is often neglected. He was able to answer our questions about communities and artists, having worked in the region for over 30 years. We appreciated him accommodating our son with disabilities, plus he was mean negotiator of creek beds in the state of the art 4WD. The food was good too...After being in NT for two weeks, this trip to the Finke Gorge National Park was something else with the ampitheatre at Kalarranga Lookout the highlight. Thanks for making it possible Filippo and Andrew!

    My friend and I purchased a VIP tour of Palm Valley through Outback Elite Tours. Our guide Andrew was excellent and knew a lot of interesting information about a range of subjects - geology, aboriginal stories, music, plants and spiritual connections. He was willing and able to tailor the excursion to suit our interests. It was a wonderful day and we learnt a lot. It was easy to get the information and to book the tour. Everything including our lunch was fresh and tailored to our needs. Worth going with Phillipo and Andrew.

    Outback Elite Tours were great. Our driver Andrew was very knowledgeable on how the land was formed, the fauna and local stories. This was definitely 4WD (with a very high wheel base) country and we felt safe the whole journey. It's such a beautiful part of Finke Gorge National Park and the walks were easy. The morning tea and lunch was also good. I would highly recommend.

    Outback elite tours made the best out of this trip. James was a wonderful guiede, very knowledgable concerning flora, fauna, history and culture. Here all the advantages of this day-trip : no lengthy pickup of lots of other travellers from their hotels, and consequently beating the crowds in the valley, expert 4WD trip into palm valley, wonderful long hike (as far as we know the only tour to offer the full circle) with plenty of time to just enjoy the views, second hike to the lookout, trip to Hermannsburg village with time of our own to explore, excellent food that we enjoyed very much. The trip was not cancelled even though we were only two participants (max. 4 people)

    It was a great travel experience for four of us. This was a private VIP tour run by Outback Elite Tours. Craig, our driver, performed professionally. He did a great job and we enjoyed his service. Morning tea and lunch were good. We would highly recommend others to book their tours. Thank you Josephine Hui
