We took a day trip tour to Palm Valley, along the southern road of the West MacDonnell Ranges, with AAPT Tours. You stop off at Simpsons Gap to begin the early journey from Alice Springs, then onwards to the MacDonnell Ranges This trip is definitely for 4WD vehicles, as the last 60 kilometres follows rough tracks along the Finke river. You get bounced around plenty for a few hours. Scenery is quite striking once you are off-road and you complete two simple hikes to get a sense of the geology and ecology of this area. Good idea to bring your own snacks and drinks, as the morning tea and lunch provided is basic. I recommend checking the night before with AAPT as to the number of guests booked. It appears that if it’s a smaller group (less than 8), their choice of vehicle might lead to sand bogging and the need to disembark (in sections) so that the vehicle can negotiate the track. Sadly, an additional annoyance for our group was a dashboard alarm that didnt want to stop for half the trip. Kind of spoiled the mood....

I did this tour on Sunday october 2023, first stop after long drive(120km) is Hermannsburg historical precinct. unfortunately, this precinct will be closed till April 2024; so we just had morning tea/coffee outside the attraction. There is church service in the nearby lutheran church. Then we headed west to the unsealed road to Palm valley; it’s fun, bumpy jumpy ride along the way to the first stop(picnic area) for toilet, After that we stilopped at cycad gorges where santuary of ancient trees thrives for thousand years. Finally, we arrived Palm valley, nature wonders that palm trees grow in isolated area , thousand miles from their counterparts; I did bush walk along the valley then climbed up to the ridge , walking back to the car park. It concluded my tour with wonderful experience.

Like many of the previous reviewers, I can highly recommend this tour....even though the drive up the Finke River was the bumpiest journey I've made in a 4WD vehicle. Our driver Martin did an excellent job. The combination of the visit to the historic Hermannsberg Mission site and then the chance to explore the landscape of this extraordinary part of the world was a wonderful balance.
