The itinerary is very comprehensive for all the main sights, while many of the other aspects were very engaging, such as the roadhouse and outback hotel lunch stops
We had an outstanding Travel Director and safe drivers, we couldn't fault them. Accommodation was generally first rate, as were the dinners provided on most nights. The drinks vouchers were appreciated! The 7500km we travelled went very smoothly.
I thought travelling straight up the centre there would not be a lot to see. However I was wrong. We saw it on the ground, from the air and on the water. Nothing disappointed. Most of all we had a good crew and a good group of people to travel with.
Definately recommended to anyone who wants a great holiday. Filled with extra things like helicopter rides above Kings Canyon. Importantly we had a good crew, nothing was too much trouble. Would do another trip with them.
I would have loved to complete the tour- due to Covid I missed 11 days of the tour. I’ve been given a credit from Trafalgar to use in the future, and I hope I’ll eventually see the remainder of the trip I booked for

Active Trip Details
Navigation Close Icon
What is an Active Trip? This is an "Active" lifestyle itinerary, with walks and hikes most days. Hikes will range from easy/moderate to strenuous. No technical climbing skills are required but a reasonable level of fitness is required to make the trip more enjoyable. Understanding that not all people want to hike at the same pace or even on the same trail we will, where possible, host map orientation and then let everyone disperse to enjoy the trails best suited to them.
What to Pack Guests should bring lightweight hiking shoes or boots, broad brimmed sun hats, sunglasses, layered clothing, reusable water bottle(s), a hiking day pack and hiking poles (optional) Weather & Altitude While the itinerary is laid out below, we are at the mercy of the weather and so reserve the right to adjust the program as necessary. Please keep in mind that the higher elevations and possible variations in weather and temperature can increase the perceived level of difficulty of our activities. Elevation ranges up to 9,000 feet for Utah’s Mighty Five and up to 11,000 feet for California High Country Adventure.
Everyone reacts differently to altitude and so if you do have any health issues you should check with your doctor that this trip is suitable for you.
