| Alice Springs Helicopters are working with a number of locally based operators to provide unique experiences for visitors
to the region. In conjunction with Discovery EcoTours guests now have the opportunity to visit Black Tank Community for
a unique full day experience with a private guide. Santa Teresa Art Centre can also be visited for those wishing to view
and purchase art at a community owned art centre. All tours are conducted as private charters with maximum passenger
numbers of four per helicopter. Heli-Touring is without a doubt the most incredible way to travel the vast expanse of the
central desert in comfort, luxury and style.
