TREK TRANSPORT OVERVIEW
Our vehicles are equipped to carry out various trek support options for hikers walking the Larapinta Trail. Our fleet also includes specialised 4WD vehicles to support trekkers walking off-track, cross-country in remote areas of the West Macs NP and other areas of Central Australia.
Our vehicles are now subject to our own strict cleaning procedures to ensure the vehicles are COVID-19 safe when your board them. Our vehicles are thoroughly cleaned with TGA approved antibacterial agents before and after each use, multiple times a day, no exceptions. Our Hiace bus cabin air filter systems are now installed with BOSCH High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters.

WHAT WE DON'T OFFER
Max 5 hikers per booking
We don't offer our services to groups of more than 5 hikers. If you make an enquiry regarding a trek for 6 or more people, we will ignore it.
No Airport Pickups
We do not offer any transfers to or from the airport. There are taxi's and bus services that ferry people to and from the airport.
No Stove Fuel - No Transfer
We have a 'No Stove Fuel No Transfer Policy'. There is an official NT Parks 'No Open Fires' law on the Larapinta Trail. This means stove fuel only!
If you cannot show us your receipt from your stove fuel purchase before the start day of your trek, you will void your booking which means 100% loss of your booking fee and being stranded last minute on the day of your transfer. If you don't intend on taking any stove fuel for your trek please consider another transfer provider.
There are no exceptions to this policy.
We Don't Pick Up Hitchikers
Hitchhiking in the NT is illegal.
Don't get offended when we drive past ignoring you if you're thumbing it (unless of course, it is a medical or serious emergency, in which case we will assist any way we can).
No Accommodation - No Transfer
We have a 'No Accommodation No Transfer' Policy.' You need to have official accommodation in town before and after your trek if you would like to use our services. We do not service caravan parks, private residential homes, pub accommodation and AirBNBs. (Unless you are a local Alice Springs resident)
No Booking - No Pick Up
We only provide transfer services to people who have a booking. We do not pick up people if they haven't gone through our booking process. If you don't have an LTTS Booking Code, we can't take you (unless it is a medical or serious emergency).
