5.00We were a small group and we had so much fun. Maya was an excellent guide and the scenery was spectacular. Wish I had taken my swimming togs for the waterholes.
Awesome One-Day Outback Experience

- Review from Viator
5.00This tour an awesome one-day Outback experience, booked through Viator; fulfilled by Autopia Driver/Guide Kirsten, aka "Kirstie"; was exceptional. Kirsten safely and thoughtfully guided us through a knowledgeably narrated tour. She was a well informed guide who showed enthusiasm and was equally awed in what we were experiencing. Be prepared to have your every sense piqued. She'll look after the rest. This tour under her stewardship is an 11/10 !
