Why Travel With ATA?

Informative and immersive, our tours are for those looking to develop a true-blue understanding of Australia’s inner workings – and have a cracker of a time while at it. Take one comfy 4WD or minibus, a knowledgeable guide, a bunch of fellow adventurers and you’re all set for the Outback. The whole outfit is much more road trip than it is your standard charter bus tour.

Below are some of the features that go into making the Adventure Tours Australia (ATA) difference.

Expert Guides
We’re the only small group company with an in-house guides
training program. Each of our trip leaders has had comprehensive
training in first aid, driving, fatigue management, environmental
awareness and local history and geology.

Indigenous Experiences
The close working partnerships we’ve established with Indigenous
communities continue to inform our understanding of the land, as
well as inspire in our travellers an appreciation for one of the world’s
oldest living cultures.

Exclusive Accommodation
Unique and exclusive accommodation is all part of the ATA experience.
Travelling with us you could be staying on Indigenous-owned land in Cape
York, private wilderness camps in the Top End, underground bunkhouses
in Coober Pedy or an island safari camp off the Kimberley coast.

Flight & Tour Packages
Want to see both the Top End and Red Centre but not too keen
on long driving days? We’ve packaged together some of our most
popular trips with included flights and airport transfers. This also
means you can get all around Australia by simply sticking with us.

Additional Information
  • This trip requires a moderate level of fitness as it involves a lot of walking, allowing you to really get among nature. The hike in Karijini National Park is challenging. Please bring sturdy, comfortable walking shoes and comfortable clothing. You will need two pairs of shoes, one that can get wet.
  • On some days of the trip, you will spend several hours driving, often through very sparse areas of desert. Crank up the tunes and sit back to enjoy landscapes that you would miss in any other form of travel.
  • Temperatures in Western Australia can be extreme. During the day the weather can be hot (and the Australian sun is strong) so please bring appropriate clothing, use sun protection and drink plenty of water. In the evenings temperatures really drop, so ensure you have base layers and warm clothing.
