Adventure Travel Australia
The Northern Territory is energising, whether it’s a change in altitude or a change in attitude, the spectacular landscapes and natural attractions gives the adventure traveller a real buzz. The escarpments, rivers, four-wheel drive tracks and variety of camping terrain make Katherine the adventure capital of the Northern Territory. You can explore Katherine River up-close in a canoe or trek through the dramatic landscapes of Nitmiluk National Park. Around Tennant Creek and the Barkly Tablelands there are challenging four-wheel drive tracks and you can sleep under the stars in the outback next to cool billabongs.
The Red Centre has plenty of adventure travel activities to choose from. Take to the skies in a hot-air balloon or helicopter, ride a camel to dinner or trek the famous Larapinta Trail. Climb aboard a quad bike around Alice Springs, or hop on a motorcycle at Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park to explore the topography at ground level. So, grab your gear and make your way to the Northern Territory for your next adventure holiday in Australia's outback.
