Why We Love This Unique Experience
Alice Springs Experience Gifts: Discover the wild beauty of the Northern Territories with this unforgettable private walking tour of the Ormiston Gorge and Pound.
The West MacDonnell Ranges are made for hiking, and with pristine native bush, thrilling chasms and vast red plains, the Ormiston Gorge and Pound are the jewel in the region’s crown. Spend a full day trekking through the dramatic, arid landscape on easy to medium trails. It’s a real adventure as you navigate dirt paths, traverse sandy creek beds, circle lazy waterholes and scramble over rocks. In the summer months, take a refreshing dip in Ormiston Gorge and then bask in the sun on giant boulders as you dry. Ghost Gum Lookout is another highlight with spectacular views across the river. Your experienced guide can tailor the tour to your fitness level and preferences and a visit to gorgeous Glen Helen Gorge on the banks of the Finke River can be added to your itinerary. With door-to-door transport, drinking water, and entry fees included all you’ve got to bring is your walking boots and sense of adventure!
This hiking tour of Ormiston Gorge and Pound is perfect for sharing with active friends, and would make a phenomenal experience gift for a nature lover’s birthday.

Experience Overview:
Full Day Walking Tour Of The Ormiston GorgeSeize the day, spend an extended amount of time at one of the most exquisite destinations in the West MacDonnell Ranges. A day trip from Alice Springs. Easy to Medium walks across semi-arid country. Easy walks – flat, compact dirt paths. Medium walks – dirt paths, sandy creek bed, up/down hill and or scrambling over rocks. Soaring orange cliffs hang high above a once raging watercourse that left behind a lazy waterhole. There are boulders to lie upon like a lazy lizard in the hot sun after a swim (warmer months). Walk, swim, explore nature, relax, contemplate, dream! If inclined, a visit to beautiful Glen Helen on the salty sands of the ancient and wet Finke River, abreast the majestic Mt Sonder is not out of the question.
