TREK PACKAGE ADD-ONS

The Trek Package Add-On are extra services you can add-on to your booking, whether this is a trek package or transfer. The Add-On's provide great trek package options to enhance your Larapinta Trail trek, make life a little easier and  muscle up your trek or preparation. 

​

You can now add on extras after you have made your initial booking, but

the extras cost more if you add on later. 

​

It is cheaper if you add on extra's when you first make your booking.
