Throw back to when our first ever Brolga flew (the bird was carried through the air) the entire length of the Larapinta Trail 😊 - looking forward to hosting our guests again in special and amazing Central Australia on the Larapinta 👌🏾
Anyone recognise these guides? 🤗

Winner, Winner, Ecotourism WINNER!

We're thrilled to announce that Trek Larapinta won the Ecotourism category at the Brolgas, the Northern Territory Tourism Awards, over the weekend.

As ecotourism is at the core of every action we take, we will continue to foster a genuine passion and practice for sustainability in everything we do.

Our Managing Director, Holger Strie, and Finance Manager, Nic Edwards, were proud to collect the Brolga for Ecotourism, and hope you'll join us on a small group tour of the magnificent Larapinta Trail in 2024.

10/11/2023

Wish us luck as we compete to win a Brolga tonight!

The Brolgas are the official tourism awards program for the Northern Territory, and recognise and encourage tourism businesses that strive for excellence in every area of their operation.

Trek Larapinta is entered in the Ecotourism category, and we're hoping to make it three in a row for Gold!

The preservation, conservation and presentation of the Larapinta region is of principal importance to Trek Larapinta, and we consider it a real privilege and honour to operate in this region of the Northern Territory.

Being small we focus on tour quality and sustainability, maintain strong local knowledge of the landscape, and build meaningful connections within our community.

Remote, arid, beautiful, changing and breathtaking are the landscapes of the Larapinta Trail, a truly transformative multi-day eco experience that leaves an imprint on your soul.

You will be introduced to this ancient and spiritual country and find comfort in knowing you will depart without leaving an environmental impact.

Meet Riley 👋

With the Larapinta season finished for 2023, we took a moment to catch up with Riley and find out what he loves about hiking.

👉 What is your favourite Trek Tours Australia trip and why?
16-Day End to End: to experience the Larapinta Trail in its entirety is something special. It’s a rewarding challenge with every day providing unique terrain and views revealing another beautiful facet to Tjoritja.

👉 What hike/wilderness would you really want to experience and why?
Snowman (Bhutan): having travelled the mountain country of Nepal and Northern India and enjoying the village-to-village hiking, I’m looking forward to covering some of the remote and wild eastern Himalayas along the Snowman Trek.

👉 Number one piece of outdoor kit needed for your guiding to be bulletproof?
My Buff: trusty, versatile, light and colourful. This simple cylindrical piece of fabric has provided me much comfort doubled over as a beanie substitute or neck warmer.

Those end of the day feels 🧡

It's always a highlight when the day's trekking is complete and you sit back and watch the sunset over this incredible country.

29/09/2023

While some people think finding the best cafe for lunch is a competition, ours is finding the best views for lunch 🥪

We might be biased, but we think we win 🧡

07/09/2023

We love helping everyone explore this incredible corner of the country 🧡

Thanks for sharing your experience Karel.

25/08/2023

There’s no denying we love our guides and think they’re the best in the business.

We caught up with Miranda in between treks on the Larapinta Trail and asked her a few questions about her hiking journey.

👉 What is your favourite Trek Tours Australia trip?
There is no better way to truly immerse yourself in nature than by experiencing the amazing Tjoritja National Park and the Larapinta Trail from start to finish.

👉 What trek would you love to experience and why?
I would love to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. Over 4200 km, what an adventure. Hiking through the American wilderness for 5 months would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

👉 Number one piece of outdoor kit for any trek?
My set of hiking poles. They help me to hike all day in challenging terrain. They provide additional support and balance, reduce lower limb loading and fatigue and are great for pointing out cool things during a hike.

Our dedication to sustainability runs deep, and with each trek, our goal is to protect this beautiful land, ensuring it remains untouched, the exact same way we found it 🌿❤️ As we look ahead to 2024, we look forward to sharing with you the awe-inspiring wonders of the Northern Territory. Join us on the Larapinta Trail: trektoursaustralia.com.au/tours

We're always chasing the incredible sunrises and sunsets over this beautiful country 🌅✨

When it comes to the clothing you pack for your trek, our best advice is to think about layers. As good as our guides are, they can’t control the weather, so having the correct attire for different conditions is vital. 👉 Light-weight long pants are good to have, though shorts will also be very handy for most of our hikes 👉 Warm, lightweight jumpers for those morning starts and a good raincoat are essential 👉 Thermal layers are perfect the chilly mornings and nights, plus they're nice and light in your pack 👉 Once the trekking is done for the day, you’ll just need some casual clothes and a few warm layers for those chilly night temperatures

What a season! We loved every minute of each hike of the season. We’re thankful to every trekker who has come along, choosing to experience this great landscape with us and living our values of wilderness conservation. Thanks for a great season, and we’ll see you again soon! 🧡 The Trek Larapinta Team

Wondering what 16 days on the Larapinta trail looks like? Here’s your sneak peek into the 16-day end-to-end trek. trektoursaustralia.com.au/tour/16-day-end-to-end-larapinta-trail-trek/

Exploring your own backyard just got a little bit easier. We’ve recently completed an overhaul of our websites and brought ALL our treks into one place. Whether you want to explore the wild west coast of Tasmania, the rugged Larapinta Trail in the Northern Territory or the wilderness of Kangaroo Island, it’s now even easier. Which trekking adventure are you adding to your plans? trektoursaustralia.com.au/

To get the most out of your experience, it's essential to remember three things: 👉 You don't want to be lugging everything around daily. Bring a good-quality day pack with a comfortable harness and a second larger soft duffel bag to hold everything else back at camp. 👉 Everyone loves breaking out the swags, and what's better is if you don't feel like sleeping in your tent, you can move your swag outside and sleep under the stars. 👉 Blisters are the one thing you don't want on this trip; prevention is better than cure. Ensure your boots are broken in, and you've brought some form of blister prevention with you. Northern Territory – Australia
