Please note that if you book this trip while it is On Request, or very close to departure, it may take us longer than our usual 2-4 business days to provide you with an outcome about whether it can be confirmed. This is due to a number of external factors, such as staffing levels at some of our hotels which may impact their ability to confirm services in a timely manner. We would like to thank you in advance for your patience when requesting your trip. Alternatively, if you require a faster outcome, you could choose an alternative date further in the future that can be confirmed immediately by us. SINGLE SUPPLEMENT A single supplement is available if you\u2019d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of your trip and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information. END POINT LOCATION This trip's end point location is Yulara, however if you are flying out of Alice Springs you can opt to end your trip there instead. We offer a drop-off in Alice Springs as an optional service. Please speak to your booking agent for more details. Travel is always an adventure and, as destinations reopen, there are a few challenges as everyone gets back up to speed and adjusts to the new normal. Our leaders are experts when it comes to dealing with anything unexpected along the journey, so pack your understanding and flexibility, sit back and relax while they take care of the rest.
