Northern Territory

The Northern Territory is a remarkable region of contrasts—from vast, sunburnt outback to lush gorges, waterfalls and swimming holes. Teeming with unique flora and fauna and rich with 40,000 years of human history in the hands of Australia’s Indigenous custodians, this is a region of staggering beauty and significance.

The red heart of Australia is a magnificent desert wilderness. Out here you’ll find some of Australia’s most iconic images, including the sacred monolith of Uluru (Ayers Rock), the striking rock domes of Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and the rugged peaks and ridges of the MacDonnell Ranges.

Following the spine of the West MacDonnell Ranges and passing dramatic rock formations and tranquil waterholes, the famous Larapinta Trail is one of the greatest desert treks on Earth. Being the first to operate treks on the Larapinta in 1996, World Expeditions has pioneered sustainable adventure treks on this incredible trail ever since, offering everything from Larapinta experiences to the full 223 km trail.

And in the tropical ‘Top End’ of Australia, you’ll find lush landscapes alive with unique Australian flora, fauna and culture. Hike through the breathtaking Kakadu National Park, an expansive World Heritage Listed habitat littered with ancient rock art galleries and home to sacred gorges, lush wetlands and waterfalls; canoe along the spectacular Katherine River; or tackle the Jatbula Trail, our outstanding full-pack trek along the stone edge of the Arnhem Land escarpment, one of Australia’s most exceptional wilderness areas.

Our pioneering small group eco adventures are designed to get you deep into the heart of this incredible state. Join us as we explore the dramatic Red Centre and tropical Top End of Australia!
