OFF-TRACK & REMOTE AREA TRANSFERS
Vehicle and rotary (helicopter) transfers are offered across the West MacDonnell National Park and other areas of Central Australia including other national parks, Aboriginal and station land.
Many off track remote areas require specialised planning and preparation, permits and approvals and advanced trek logistics support such as remote area caching. We can assist with all these aspects of remote area trek support.

MT ZEIL TRANSFERS
We only provide our services for treks at Mt Zeil if Parks and Wildlife Commission NT (PWCNT) has reviewed your trek plan, issued you permits and Ok'd your trek.
We will check with PWCNT locally to confirm this. We will also request a copy of the permit and trek plan approved from PWCNT.
If you don't do any of the Pre-Trek approvals with PWCNT, which includes letting them know what you plan do to, and if you are not prepared to share a copy of your trek plan with us and the permit approved by PWCNT, your enquiry with us for trek support will be rejected.
