Watarrka National Park
The main attraction of Watarrka is undoubtedly Kings Canyon – a humungous gorge enclosed by sheer rock walls hundreds of metres high. Offering a welcome escape from the dry desert heat, this site’s deep gullies and hidden rockpools provide shelter to more than 600 species of native plants and animals. Your guide will point these out on a guided trek that takes in the canyon’s most famous sites – the Lost City, Garden of Eden, Amphitheatre and North and South Walls. Then it’s lunch, rest, and back to Alice for farewells.

5.00An amazing outback experience! With the ultimate guide Luna. Camping is the way to go . No sitting I hotel rooms, more interactive and great for all ages
Incredible landscapes, but the human experience matters too

3.00The landscapes were absolutely incredible and I was lucky to be with a lovely group of people! 🫶 Unfortunately, the guide had a big impact on the overall atmosphere of the tour. While I completely understand the need for organisation and timing in remote areas, the communication often felt cold, stressful and sometimes quite condescending, which made the experience feel more rigid than enjoyable. At times, I honestly felt more managed than welcomed. What disappointed me most was the lack of enthusiasm and genuine human connection throughout the trip. Interestingly, we had a different guide during part of the return journey, and the atmosphere immediately felt warmer and more relaxed, which really highlighted the difference. I still feel grateful to have seen these incredible places, but the energy of the tour definitely affected my overall experience more than expected.
Incredible adventure

5.00Amazing 4 day adventurous camping trip. You get to experience Uluru & Kata Tjuṯa during sunrise and sunset, go for walks, hike in Kings Canyon and sleep under the stars. The food is fresh and the snackboard/drinks during sunset at Uluru were ace. And to top things off our guide Wayne was spectacular.
Great tour

5.00I had the most amazing time on this tour. Everything about it was well-organized. The food was really good (also as a person with dietary issues) and so were the campsites. Sleeping in a swag under the stars was also amazing, would recommend doing that! The sites, walks and activities were also very nice, I had a three day tour and it was packed with the best activities. Also our guide, Adam, was very nice, relaxed and knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour!!
Fantastic tour!

5.00Simon was an absolute legend! We were on his alice springs to uluru tour for 3 days 2 nights and everything was great! All of the staff we encountered were lovely. The scenery was beautiful, and we couldn't have asked for a better trip to the outback. Simon was very professional and made for a very fun adventure.
Wonderful tour of the Red Centre with Elysse

5.00We were so pleased to see the stunning Uluru and the Red Centre. We loved the hikes, the sunrises and learning more about the indigenous culture. Elysse was wonderful, so sweet and friendly and she seemed genuinely excited to share her knowledge with us. Just be aware of the flies - you can buy a face covering fly net from a service station and it was definitely a must for us!
Great outback and Uluru camping

5.00Absolutely loved this tour. We did our research and made sure that we were in a tent (which included a bath towel, bed linens, solid beds and a small table), not a ‘swag’ that you have to set up every night and tear down every morning. Half of our group were not aware of this and definitely were not prepared for this experience. Lisa, our tour guide was amazing. She was very informative and accommodating for our requests which were not many. The food was good and the staff very friendly. We arrived in Yulara on 23 March 2026, just after the heavy six weeks of rain. It wasn’t as dry as expected, it was hotter than the surface of the sun and thousands of flies(like our houseflies only smaller)invaded and covered our bodies. Do Not Forget a Fly Net to cover your head. It was our lifesaver! It was a 4 hour drive from Alice Springs and when we arrived to the campsite in Yulara lunch was ready for us. Then we headed to Kata Tjuṯa. The landscape of Kata Tjuta was beautiful but this tour is scheduled for mid afternoon so it’s at the highest temperature of the day. After that we drove to Uluru to watch the sunset. Lisa had snacks and drinks set out for us but we had so many flies wanting to feast too that we had to grab and go quickly. That night, steaks were on the menu. There was always plenty of food during this tour. The next morning we walked the base of Uluru just before sunrise. Beautiful!!! Every morning is an extremely early morning so be prepared to pack up your bedding, even if you have a tent, ready to leave after Uluru and an early lunch to head to Kings Creek. A 3 hour drive to Kings Creek, prep veggies for dinner, set up camp and then a walk to the pub to enjoy the air conditioning and a beer is on the schedule. Then a quick sunset walk before dinner and an early night for another very early morning to Kings Canyon. The Kings Canyon Rim walk is absolutely stunning and a must do!! Absolutely Amazing!! This whole tour was an amazing experience!
