Testimonies about our Larapinta Trail tours»

What an inspirational week. I had been to many parts of the Larapinta Trail before but now I will see it with new eyes. Your passion for the wonderful land, plants, birds and other creatures was wonderful as was the beautiful eco camp and delicious meals.

Thank you both so much for such an amazing week. I can’t recommend Trek Larapinta more highly: being greeted from a day’s walk with magic in a camp oven and just so much care and finesse. It was all done so beautifully. I felt that the company truly aims to tread lightly on the earth and this is so inspiring.

Your guidance through the incredible West McDonnell Ranges was so gracious, wise and informative. The pace was just perfect and very sensitive to our needs as a group. I loved your love of the country and its fauna and flora. The camp was simple (as it should be!) but full of small things that made it special and very comfortable.

So thank you both for a truly special week. Warm regards, Emma Calver (Sonnie Chalmers group), Robertson NSW
 

When we visit a place we like to learn about it - the people and the place. We also like to tread lightly. Trek Larapinta's tour provided all of that and more. Each day's walk was different and each was interesting in its own way. The pace was just fine and everyone's needs carefully considered. Having such a knowledgeable and patient guide was great for those of us with an interest in plants, animals and geology. Answering the same question several times seemed to be no issue!

Sleeping in swags under the stars was a real highlight, even accounting for the great campfire cooked food and service. There was plenty of everything, including time to enjoy the campsite and places we walked to. That the whole 6 days went so smoothly I'm sure is a testament to the professionalism and attention to detail provided by Trek Larapinta. For us there was also the added bonus of being hosted by a business with a demonstrated commitment to social and environmental sustainability.

I recommend Trek Larapinta unreservedly and wish them all the best. We need more ventures like this.

Thanks for looking after us so well and making it so comfortable. Being able to walk, eat and sleep outdoors for those few days was such a fabulous experience and I have lots of great memories. Your meals were amazing. Thanks too for all the lollies and biscuits while we were walking! Highlights were walking to Redbank Gorge, laughing at people's reactions to swimming in the cold water, the Ormiston walk and of course climbing Mt Sonder on our last day. Ok so it was all great!

Say hi to everyone and good luck with the business, Ruthie Blundell, 6 day trek
 

I had a most challenging, exhilarating and enjoyable trip. My thanks go to all of you for introducing me to bush camping, looking after us so well with your expert guiding on the Larapinta Trail and cooking so well with your exemplary culinary skills back at camp. The Red Centre now takes on a different verve ... Thanks again for the enriching experience and the privilege of sharing it with you.

I could not have asked for a better-run and better-organised expedition than Trek Larapinta. With attention to all the finer details, Trek Larapinta has been shaped to meet everybody's interests - you'll get the hard yakka and important information along the trail; but you'll also get good food and cheer off it.

Trek Larapinta is the perfect means to get to grips with inner Australia, and I strongly recommend the experience to even the most hardened city types! Adam Courtenay, Financial journalist.
