Best way to see highlights of West Macdonnell Ranges - Was great not having to drive to the many sites and just sit back and enjoy the view. Very informative tour and we stopped at all the beautiful highlights the ranges have to offer. Morning tea and lunch were supplied. They looked after everything for us, including entry passes. Great day and all walks were manageable in the time limits.

Very satisfied tour - The Guide's explanation was very interesting. I learned a lot from all the things I wouldn't know if I wasn't on tour. The view was amazing, I went up the mountain for about 15 minutes and saw the river below and it was a very satisfying experience. It was winter, so I didn't take my bathing suit, but I regretted not taking it because the temperature was hot and the water was cold enough to swim. It was good to visit various places. Muchas Gracias, Miguel.

West MacDonnell Range highlights - Had Bluey as our guide along the West MacDonnell Ranges. Bluey’s knowledge was second to none. Learnt so much from him, and was amazed by his narrative and descriptions throughout the whole day. Had a terrific day, with lunch and morning tea.

A day trip not to miss. - An excellent day covering the highlights of the West MacDonnell ranges- Stanley Chasm, Simpsons Gap, Ormiston George amongst others. Some nice walks and nothing felt rushed in a need to get to the other sites. A brilliant guide in Bluey. He's a master storyteller, an absolute fountain of knowledge - whether it's history, the geology, the flora, the people. Your own personal wikipedia for the area.
