Fantastic trip

5.00The whole trip was thoroughly enjoyable. Picked up promptly at designated time, driver and guide was really knowledgeable and kept us entertained and informed with lots of fun facts. Shout out to Rachel and Kevin. The cultural centre was really interesting and the drive around the rock was fabulous. The short walk to the watering hole at the base of the rock was great, I should say here I am in a wheelchair for long distance and it was all very accessible. I would recommend a fly net it you are irritated by flies. The sunset was magnificent, it sets behind you and not behind the rock., we had biscuits, cheese, cold meat, dips and sparkling wine as we sat and waited for the sun to go down. I cannot say enough how wonderful the BBQ was, lots and lots of food and drink in a beautiful setting all finished off with a short talk on the night sky which was filled with thousands of stars. It is very hot so plenty of sun cream required, the bus had water available to fill up water bottles. Highly recommend this excursion.
Highly recommend this...

5.00Highly recommend this tour as this is the only company that allows you to eat inside the national park. Well, the food was not amazing. The view and the experience was stunning. It’s a magical place. Thank you, Rachel and Karen for a lovely evening.
Totally Worth It!!!

5.00The view of Uluru was spectacular. The staff was extremely kind. The food was DELICIOUS and plentiful. It was a beautifully clear night with the most stars we’ve ever seen. The guide was friendly and professional. He let us know that he was not an astrologer. He only knew a few facts about a few stars he pointed out but he did relate them to how the Anangu may have used them to navigate. Our adult children weren’t thrilled when first hearing about this excursion but quickly changed their mind being there. The 7 of us highly recommend this tour!!!
Spectacular, amazing, a must see

5.00Viewing the changing colours of Uluru as the sun sets are something everyone should experience. When the sun set the sky became alive with stars, pictures can do this awe inspiring spectacle justice. The barbeque is of great quality including kangaroo in the range of available meats. The whole experience is something they will stay with us forever
Good tour

5.00After watching the sunset with a glass of bubble an some snacks and then having an Aussie BBQ with the full super moon on display at the edge of Uluru is an absolutely surreal experience. Recommend it immensely

4.00We where unfortunate to be advised that the BBQ would be cancelled because of the weather but we were able to delay by one day. Again the weather on the following day prevented the BBQ from proceeding so we took the option of going on the tour to see the sunset and enjoy drinks and small eats. The staff at AAT Kings did a great job in getting us to the viewing platform. Chloe was our bus driver and provide information over the PA system on the bus. She spoke very clearly and was very knowledgeable about the tour for an East Londoner.
