Both our driver Barry and tour guide Hailey were fantastic. Hailey was so knowledgeable, funny and looked after us so well. Her bedtime stories were so informative with Barry adding up more information along the trip. The rim walk was so amazing. Great views, once in lfetime oppourtunity. We had a great time. Highly recommended

We took the shorter walk but it was still very enjoyable. We learnt about the different flora along the way. Breakfast and lunch was good and pool was a nice and refreshing after walk as was a very hot day .

A beautiful place! I opted for the easier creek bed walk. Our guide, Steph, did a great job explaining the history of the location and pointing out the medicinal plants and their uses. She was also very kind and helpful. The walk was mostly level, but some areas were rough, natural stones, making it difficult for people like me who have knee and hip problems. Two things the tour operators should highlight up front: if you choose the rim walk you are required to carry two to three liters of water; and if you choose the creek bed walk with the option of a helicopter ride, the helicopter is a separate charge.
Easy to book this...

The tour itself was ok. The creek bed walk was lacklustre.. The tour guide and driver were excellent.
There is the easy walk...

There is the easy walk and the hard climb. Both are exciting depending on age and mobility. We enjoyed our 'easy' adventure.

Alex our guide was excellent and took us at just the right pace around the rim walk. The our bus driver was also really informative and made the whole trip excellent. Stopping at the stations there and on the way back was also excellent and helped us really understand the area and how people had settled it

A Challenging walk but fortunately cloud cover kept the temperature down. The landscape is unique. Access enabled because of stone steps and wooden walkways when required.
What a FANTASTIC day!

It was a long, but fantastic day! I did the canyon wall walk and my wife did the valley walk. We both enjoyed our walks. Being 66, the first part of the canyon wall walk was a bit challenging (starting the first climb of 500 steps), but after that, the walk was very doable. Both walks had great views. The guides were knowledgeable and interesting. They were very aware of their surroundings and conscious of safety. The breakfast was good and filling and was included with the trip. Lunch had a good selection and was also good which you buy. I would highly recommend this trip. You see and experience the outback. It is an amazing long day!
