The Ultimate Northern Territory Adventure!
Get ready for the ride of a lifetime as Outback Motorcycle Adventures proudly presents our inaugural Rock to Croc Adventure Ride - a journey spanning 3400km from the heart of Australia to its tropical Top End.
Starting in Uluru, this epic adventure combines sealed and dirt roads as we traverse the entire Northern Territory, experiencing the stunning diversity of its landscapes and iconic landmarks. From the red sands and rugged beauty of the Red Centre, past the soaring cliffs of Kings Canyon and the ancient charm of the MacDonnell Ranges, to the boundless horizons of the Barkly Tablelands, this ride will leave you in awe.
Feel the thrill as the terrain shifts to the lush, tropical wilderness of the Top End, where we'll take on the challenges of Gregory National Park, visit Katherine Gorge and the Hot Springs, plus soak up the stunning sights of Litchfield National Park such as Wangi Falls and the Lost City. Along the way, experience the NT's famous outback hospitality with stops at iconic watering holes like the Daly Waters Pub - a must-see slice of Australiana.
But that is not all. To cap off this incredible adventure, you will have the unique opportunity to attend the Darwin MXGP - the adrenaline-pumping final round of the World Motocross Grand Prix! It is the perfect way to finish your trip of a lifetime.
Due to popular demand, we'll also run a tour in reverse starting in Darwin after the MXGP and finishing with the majestic beauty of Uluru.
Ride through crocodile country in the tropical north, encounter dingoes in the arid deserts of the south, and marvel at birds of prey and other incredible wildlife along the way. With Outback Motorcycle Adventures, you can focus entirely on the journey while we take care of everything else. From expert mechanical support to hearty home-cooked meals and premium equipment, we’ve got every detail covered for an unforgettable adventure.
As proud Northern Territory locals, we’re passionate about sharing the stunning landscapes and unique experiences of our backyard with you.
This is more than a ride; it’s a journey through the soul of Australia...
...Adventure, camaraderie, and unforgettable memories await.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of the adventure of a lifetime!
