5.00Alex 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

5.00A 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!

5.00It 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...

5.00Very 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 .
Worthwhile trip to do at Ayers rock but a long drive

5.00The 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.
Spectacular canyon walk. A must do experience !

5.00Amazing tour. Alex is an incredible tourguide. I didn't choose to do the rim walk, but his stories during the were incredible. Brad is an amazing chauffeur but also as a guide an the creek walk. Breakfast was delicious. A long day but worth it. And as an extra we saw Mt Conner (from a distance) but it was a nice addition.
Great breakfast,...

5.00This was a beautiful trip full of adventure! It is a bit on the rigorous side, but once you get past the steps in the beginning, it is just some minor up and down (a little uneven) terrain. The views change around every corner, and there is quite a variety of rock formations and plant life. The highlight is the water pools, especially the Garden of Eden. It is a bit of work, but well worth it. The guide was very nice and looked out for everyone to make sure they were doing ok. Highly recommend when taking a trip to the Red Center/Uluru!!
