3 Day Darwin to Alice Springs Tour Itinerary
If you want to go to Alice Springs or further on to Uluru, the Darwin to Alice Springs Tour is for you. This tour gets you from Darwin to Alice Springs in just three days and includes stops at must-see destinations along the way. Not only will you be able to see unique destinations, but you will also have fantastic photo opportunities at every stop to show the diverse and incredible landscapes of Australia.
Day One (Dinner)
Departing Darwin at 7 am, your first stop is to Litchfield National Park. You will be able to take a dip in the refreshing waters of the Buley Rockhole, Florence Falls, Tolmer Falls, and Wangi Falls. We will then take a walk to view the unique Magnetic and Cathedral Termite Mounds. The day will conclude in the town of Adelaide River. Here, we will enjoy a delicious pub dinner before resting up for another adventurous day.
Day Two (Breakfast & Dinner)
You have another chance to swim today at Edith Falls in Nitmiluk National Park. You can swim around in the gorgeous cascading waterfalls before taking a break for lunch (own cost) in Katherine. After lunch, we will make our way to Bitter Springs, where you can float in the tranquil thermal stream before visiting Mataranka Hot Springs. These natural springs are refreshing and worth a dip in the crystal clear waters. You will then continue to Daly Waters Pub -once a watering hole for drovers and explorers. Here, we will enjoy another tasty pub meal, accompanied by live music.
Day Three (Breakfast)
Departing on our final day of adventure, you will continue to Alice Springs, but not before stopping at Karlu Karlu (The Devil’s Marbles). This impressive site is a great opportunity to snap a photo of you amongst the giant granite boulders perched on top of one another. These boulders are a work of nature, some are even broken in half, due to erosion and the weather. They are not to be missed. After a nice break for photos and listening to the rich history of the area and the significance of the boulders to the local community, you board your bus for Alice Springs.
