Fly Free to Alice
Choose from short escapes, luxury getaways, road trips packed with art and culture, wildlife adventures, solo trips and itineraries planned around major regional events, such as the Henley on Todd Regatta or Desert Mob. There’s over 20 itineraries for you to consider, taking you across Alice Springs, Kings Canyon and Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Packages start from $1049 per person twin share, and are available exclusively through NT Now and Australian retail travel agents.
“Fly Free to Alice removes one of the biggest barriers to travel and allows visitors to put more of their holiday budget into what they’re actually coming here for – more nights on the ground, local experiences and discovering more of Central Australia,” said Danial Rochford, Tourism Central Australia CEO. “People come for the icons, but many leave talking about the places, stories and experiences they didn’t expect.”
