Darwin and Litchfield National Park (1 Days)
Welcome to the Northern Territory - CONTIKI STYLE!!! What a way to start with our first day at Litchfield National Park. It is 650 square kilometres (255 square miles) of top end treasure. It encloses some spectacular scenery including an ancient sandstone plateau and picturesque Florence Falls where you will have the opportunity for a swim. Then it's back to Darwin as we discover the Darwin nightlife!

Darwin to Kakadu National Park (1 Days)
Today you'll discover the amazing history of Darwin with a visit to the Northern Territory Museum and a driving tour of the city, before heading out to the world famous Kakadu National Park.

Kakadu National Park (1 Days)
Rise early and you have the chance to see the wonders of Kakadu from the air. This scenic flight will leave you breathless and it's not the altitude. You really will understand why this is a world heritage region. Then on to Nourlangie Rock, famous for its Aboriginal art. View the wetlands and spend the afternoon on a wildlife cruise.

Kakadu National Park to Katherine (1 Days)
You will be able to appreciate the vast changes in scenery today as we head south out of Kakadu. We'll stop for a swim at either Gumlom or Edith Falls. Then get ready to experience the enormity of Nitmiluk National Park and the Katherine River Gorge System with an optional gorge cruise, bush walk or canoe trip.

Katherine to Tennant Creek (1 Days)
Enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal waters of Mataranka Thermal Pools or take a look at the Elsey Homestead. Onwards to one of the Territory's oldest watering holes for lunch before arriving in the true outback town of Tennant Creek.

Tennant Creek to Alice Springs (1 Days)
Before we leave the site of Australia's last gold rush all nuggets that have been found will quickly be passed onto the Contiki crew. It's then on to the Devils Marbles before heading to Alice Springs for a visit to the Alice Springs Desert Park.

Alice Springs to Uluru (Ayers Rock) (1 Days)
An opportunity this morning to join an Aboriginal Bush Tucker tour. We then cross the oldest river in the world, the Finke River, before turning onto the Lassiter Highway. Continuing past amazing Mt Connor, we reach the modern Yulara Resort, our accommodation for the next two nights. Watch the sun set and rise over Uluru and explore this world-famous monolith.

Uluru (1 Days)
Uluru National Park and the famous 'big rock' await. We'll watch the amazing warm hues of an Uluru sunrise, followed by a visit to the excellent Cultural Center housing a display of information on Aboriginal history and culture. Then why not jump on the back of a Harley Davidson motorcycle to take in more of the Spinifex plains? Maybe take a flight over the area or challenge the vertical and climb Uluru? Later time for a swim and to enjoy a glass of bubbly to toast the Uluru sunset.

Uluru to Kings Creek Station (1 Days)
A last look at Uluru before we drive to the mysterious rock formations known as Kata Tjuta or the Olgas. Hike through the Valley of the Winds or Olga Gorge. This afternoon we're off to Kings Creek Station adjacent to Watarrka National Park. A chance to explore this working cattle and camel station by quad bikes. Enjoy food cooked in true outback style, before rolling out your sleeping swag under a blanket of brilliant stars.

Kings Creek Station to Alice Springs (1 Days)
Up early to take in the stunning sights as we wander along the ridge of Kings Canyon and discover the Garden of Eden and the Lost City. Then onwards to Alice Springs. Tonight why not enjoy a 'drovers blowout' dinner? Try outback delicacies like crocodile and emu.

Alice Springs (1 Days)
This morning there is the chance to watch dawn break over the MacDonnell Ranges from a hot air balloon before taking in the local sights of Alice Springs. We'll visit the ANZAC Hill Lookout and the original Alice Springs Telegraph Station. Time to say a final farewell as our tour ends in Alice Springs this afternoon.
