Questions about this tour
Are there any extra or hidden fees?
No. The price you see is the final, all inclusive price. The only things not included are optional tips and your personal expenses.
What is the difference between the Old and New White Desert?
The New White Desert is the area most visitors see on short trips. The Old White Desert lies further in, with larger, quieter formations and far fewer visitors.
Is a 4-day White Desert trip physically demanding?
No. Most walks are short and on flat sand. The 4x4 does the driving.
Can the route be changed?
Yes. Every Stars Camp trip is private, so we can adjust the route and pace to your group.
