Discover Alice Springs with Hertz
Alice Springs is the perfect base for a wider Northern Territory tour. However, it’s a fantastic city, and you should schedule some time to discover what it’s all about.
Watch a picturesque sunrise from new heights with a hot air balloon ride from Alice Springs. Soar over the Macdonnell Ranges as the sun comes up from the east - all before your morning breakfast. It’s certainly a refreshing way to start your day. If the early start doesn’t take your fancy, you could enjoy a helicopter ride from Alice Springs instead. Fly across the East and West Macdonnell Ranges with an expert pilot before returning to the city. It’ll be an amazing trip and one that you can’t experience elsewhere.
After a morning excursion, it’s time for some food. Thankfully, Alice Springs has plenty of options on offer. Choose from Goods Coffee Shop, Page 27 Cafe, and Base Cafe for brunch - you won’t be disappointed. For dinner, there are many great places, like The Locals, Rooftop Bar, or Epilogue Lounge, just to name a few.
One of the fantastic parts about Alice Springs is its proximity to nature. It embraces its uniqueness in many ways, which will be transparent as you spend time here. One of the amazing activities on offer is a camel ride through the West Macdonnell Ranges. Ride one of these glorious animals while simultaneously spotting other native animals: kangaroos, wallabies, and more.
Drive the Outback with Hertz
Alice Springs is located in a fantastic geographic location.
Discover the East and West Macdonnell Ranges, where visitors are spoiled with learning experiences, hikes, swims, and impeccable views. Admire the vast landscape from either park before heading for a swim at Ellery Creek Big Hole.
