OVERVIEW

Take your time to explore the Northern Territory on foot—it’s the best way to connect with this ancient, awe-inspiring land. Wander through the dramatic escarpments and wetlands of Kakadu, feel the spirit of the land in Katherine Gorge, and cool off in Litchfield’s crystal-clear waterfalls. Discover the sacred majesty of Uluru and the soaring red cliffs of Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park. Then, if you are up for it, challenge yourself on the Larapinta, where desert landscapes, mountain ranges, and star-filled skies await.

Walking these remarkable trails makes you slow down, lets you soak it all in, and helps you experience the NT in its raw, powerful beauty.

Auswalk is Australia’s oldest dedicated walking holiday company, delivering self-guided and guided walks worldwide.

With over 30 years of experience, 30,000+ satisfied guests, and more than 3 million kilometres walked, you’re in expert hands!
