TREK PACKAGE OPTIONS

CHEWINGS TREK EXPRESS PACKAGE

The express package provides the basics needed to complete this outstanding 4-5 day trek - the two transfers and a food drop to Standley Chasm. Both transfers are located at remote trailheads which require high clearance four wheel drives to access. The drives along these remote access tracks are at times rough but they are scenic and many hikers enjoy the 4WD to and from these places.

All prices in AUD/Inc GST
