Adelaide to Alice Springs 5 day tour

We support local businesses and communities throughout the duration of our tours. We visit many small outback towns from Adelaide to Alice Springs. We support Iga Warta Aboriginal Community with a commitment that is included in our itinerary for all of our tours.

The nature of outback communities ensures that local staff and produce are utilised at all times. In the remote outback towns that we visit, almost all of the businesses are run by locals and while some produce is transported in we always give preference to local fresh produce. We promote close relationships with our outback suppliers and have long standing partnerships with many. We are a certified Eco Tourism Australia Tour company. This certification involves an in-depth submission regarding economic, environmental and social sustainability.

Our guides all have a keen interest and respect for our flora and fauna. Wildlife is viewed but never provoked, chased or cornered. We explain to our passengers that noise must be kept to a minimum, to avoid rapid or sudden movement and to avoid camera flashes and to use safe night lights. Disturbance of flora is kept to an absolute minimum.

The primary social/political situation in the areas that we visit relates to indigenous issues. Our guides have broad understanding of all the issues involved and are sensitive to the indigenous perspective. These issues are present and discussed with passengers throughout the tours. As an example, the traditional owners view Uluru/Ayres Rock as a sacred place and prefer it not to be climbed. Whilst climbing the Rock is an accepted Tourism activity with most companies, our guides explain the spiritual significance and the vast majority of our passengers take pride in not doing so.
