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.

Uluru 3 day trip

4.00Tour guide Echo was great. Don't understand how they can do so much guiding and drive. Good stops in between to have a break. Definitely a must visit location in one's life. Tent was clean, recommend bringing a torch. Bathroom away but not too far, remember thongs. Only issue which is a Central Australia problem is the flies. Need a fly net. And if not wanting to wait in line for food remember to bring own instant food.
Best tour guide ever

5.0010/10 Elyse was the best tour guide ever! She brought so much joy into the experience and some really cool music. I was lucky to be in a small group of only 6, and the atmosphere throughout the whole tour was great. I really enjoyed all the activities we did, especially the sunrise base walk around Uluru, the kings Canyon hike, and the campfire in the evening. Thank you again to Elyse, it was definitely a highlight of my trip to Australia!
Fantastic 3-Day Red Centre Tour

5.00We did the “Uluru Tour with Kata Tjuta & Kings Canyon (Eco Tent)” with Adventure Tours Australia, starting from Alice Springs, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our Australia trip. The itinerary covers the key places in the Red Centre – Kata Tjuta, Uluru (sunrise and sunset), the Cultural Centre and the Kings Canyon Rim Walk. The walks are active but very manageable if you enjoy being outdoors. If you enjoy being active and don’t mind early starts, this tour is fantastic. The schedule was very well organised so we could see a lot without ever feeling rushed. For accommodation you can choose between a swag under the stars or permanent Eco Tents. We chose the Eco Tent option and were very happy with it. You don’t sleep directly under the open sky like in a swag, but you get much more comfort with a proper bed and mattress, plus good protection from insects and the temperature differences between day and night. We slept really well. We slept in two different camps, both with good bathroom facilities with showers and toilets, and one even had a swimming pool, which was perfect after a hot day hiking. The food was another highlight of the tour – breakfast, lunch and dinner were all excellent. Our guide Lisa (“Echo”) prepared most of the meals herself, except for one dinner which was prepared by the camp hosts. One evening Lisa cooked dinner for the group – her amazing Thai curry, which really impressed us, especially considering she prepared it in the middle of the outback. We are vegetarian and she made sure we always had great options like falafel and tofu as well. There were also snacks during the day, so we were very well taken care of. A very special mention goes to Lisa (“Echo”). She was not just a good guide – she was exceptional. Extremely organised, very knowledgeable and always clear about the plan and timing. At the same time she created a very relaxed and positive atmosphere in the group, and you could really feel her passion for what she does. We were also lucky with the group size – only 13 people, which made the whole experience relaxed and personal. Highly recommend this tour.
Great trip, excellent knowledge!

5.00A great trip that included a perfect mix of sight seeing whilst learning and educating myself on the area which was my aim of the trip. Tour leader Simon was amazing and went the extra mile stopping on the side of the road to show us a special lizard which made our trip!
Awesome trip, great value

5.00I had an amazing time on this trip! The highlight was my tour guide, Madi, she was very knowledgeable and made the trip extra great! Every part of this trip was fun, Kata-Tjuta, Uluru sunset and base walk, King's Canyon hike was all very fun and beautiful. I also want to say Madi was a complete professional when an unexpected medical emergency (not related to the trip) happened with one of the guests who had a pre-existing medical condition. Madi stayed calm and cool despite it being a really intense situation. After all that, we all still managed to have an amazing last night and a great hike the next morning. I highly recommend this trip as the cost alone is way cheaper than renting a car and driving yourself, and you get all the extras of food, accommodation, plus a guide to tell you things about the area and I am not usually a tour type of person.
Digging the Outback!

5.00Amazing hikes and scenery, especially King’s Canyon! Our guide was very knowledgable about aboriginal cultures, the local plants and animals, and the geology of the area. We enjoyed our tour group and are glad to have experienced this unique part of the world with this tour. Bring along or purchase a fly head net, available at all of the local stores.
A really good trip

5.00The bus was comfortable and the friver/guide took really good care of me and I felt OK despite being 67 (so I don't walk as fast anymore) in a group where 13/16 were under 30. Recommended if you are fine with getting up early (4:30am).
Lorrie was the best!

5.00I had just the most amazing time on this trip! Such a once in a lifetime experience! But what made the trip most memorable was Lorrie. She really just made everything seem easy. Working clearly very long days, in extreme heat and having to deal with a large group of us- she did it with ease- and was knowledgeable and funny at the same time. I don’t know how she did it! Thank you Lorrie❤️
Amazing!!!

4.00Die Tour stand unter einem besonderen Stern. Denn wir haben zwar keinen einzigen Stern gesehen, dafür Wasserfälle am Uluru. Wenn ihr recherchiert, werdet ihr nachlesen können, dass um den 12 Februar 2026 ungewöhnlich viel Niederschlag in der Region Alice Springs - Uluru gefallen ist. Die Tour war anders als geplant und Dank unseres erfahren und flexibelen Guides ein einmaliges Erlebnis, da er aus der Wetterlage das Beste gemacht und immer eine Plan B, C und D hatte. The tour turned out to be something special. Although we didn't see a single star, we did see waterfalls at Uluru. If you do some research, you will find that around 12 February 2026, there was a lot of rain in the Alice Springs - Uluru region. The tour was different than expected, but thanks to our experienced and flexible guide, it was a unique experience, as he made the best of the weather conditions and always had a plan B, C and D in place.
