Today starts around 6:30am with breakfast at our accommodation. We aim to be in our vehicle by 7:30 for a 40 min drive out to Standley Chasm. Starting in the morning early is the best time to hike and gives us plenty of trail time for our Brinkley Bluff return (19km). This is one of the best and most exposed hikes on the trail, with a variety of landscapes and continuous ridgeline walking. The hike is graded hard, but the structure allows you to reduce the distance and walk at your own pace as needed.

A comfy bed and a hot shower at the end of the day can make all the difference! We’ll be based out of fully equipped, twin share apartments.

Food

The food will be provided by both our guides who will prepare and cook your delicious and nutritious dinner, lunches and breakfast. We love our food so be prepared to have freshly ground coffee, great snacks and fresh fruit, beautiful vegetable based salads, wraps and cheeses. All this food is energy filled to sustain you on the track - oh! and lets not forget a sneaky desert or two and a relaxing beverage. We can cater for a range of intolerances and dietary requirements. Contact us if you have any particular requests, however please note that due to the isolated nature of the trip and limitations with food transport on the trail, we will do our best to cater for you.

Where we're going

Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia

What our adventurers have said

"I had never been to Northern Territory although it had been on my wish list for years; it seemed like an expensive place to visit and maybe difficult to get around. I LO-VE wild and wide open spaces and, being an introvert, to be in a wild place with no one around for as far as the eye can see…. Well, that is simply Heaven!! Being an introvert also makes it challenging to be 24/7 with people, especially people you don’t know. One of the great things about a group like TSA is that people are excepting of each others’ differences. We all want to have a great time and we all have things in common, otherwise we wouldn’t have all ended up on this one trip! And every person brings their own personal challenges – it’s a great environment to get and give any support, tips and encouragement needed. My favourite day was the first day – I saw Alice Springs for the first time – and then every day was my favourite, for all of the magnificent new beauty and extraordinary places I saw. And I got to those places under my own steam. It’s very rewarding!" - Belinda Lees

WHY CHOOSE
TAKE SHAPE ADVENTURES

FRIENDSHIP

Most of the people that come on our tours come by themselves. Our community is built on friendships that have been made on our trips, experiencing something life changing together, the shared memories and also goals to do more in the future! We encourage people not to be anxious about coming on these trips by yourself as we promise you will leave with some like minded friends and be really glad you made the decision to get out of your comfort zone and join in.

BELONG

Our community is our backbone. We have had so many people start with no hiking experience, basic fitness and not knowing anyone on our trips. These same people have gone on to do some incredible multi day hiking trips with us and their friends they have met in our community. Witnessing the development of their fitness, confidence, experience, friendships and happiness is why we do what we do. Come join us and let us help you get from the couch to the top of the mountain!

ADVENTURE

Experiences, not things. The moments that take your breath away. The feeling of accomplishment and the realisation that you are capable of so much more than what you thought. The views that blow your mind and the ticking off of bucket list items. We take all the hard work out of it for you. We organise the lot so you can just turn up and get the best of your experience without all the headaches of organising/logistics. We make it easy for you to do all the thing you want to do – you just need to turn up and be ready to jump into life!
