Easy to book this excursion online and at a competitive cost - regular updates from Viator as we approached the day of the excursion - all worked seamlessly through to our pick up and had a great day out - thoroughly recommend booking via Viator, excellent service.

The tour itself was ok. The creek bed walk was lacklustre.. The tour guide and driver were excellent.

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.

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!

Very early start but well worth it. We took the shorter walk but it was still very enjoyable. We learnt about the different foods you can eat of different trees and bushes. Breakfast and lunch was good and pool was a nice and refreshing after walk as was a very hot day .

The trip is a long day travelling around 600km in total taking 3 hours to get to kings canyon. The journey was worthwhile although a good degree of mobility and flexibility is required, particularly at the starting 500 steep and roughly carved steps no hand rails to start your walk. Although if you are less mobile you get the option for a shorter easier walk and more time in the kings canyon resort. Hayley provided excellent information and ensured the group remained safe at all time. Phil the driver was also excellent and added his own input.

Amazing day walking the spectacular canyon. We went in June and it wasn’t too hot or cool. Make sure you have a little bit of fitness or you will struggle,
