What people love about touring Uluru / Ayers Rock solo
- Australia: Uluru Explorer
Great trip with some really great people and a fantastic host. Such a beautiful place to visit, can't wait to go back. Thanks contiki!
My wife and I did the 3 day tour. The tour guides were Damian and Ell (sorry if its spelled wrong) which did a very good job! We were a really small group (7 people) which was very nice. We had a lot of fun and saw a lot of different things. Damian had a huge knowledge and was happy to answer all our questions. The campsides were cool and sleeping in a swag under the stars and the moon was a real adventure. If you dont like that you can just book a tent, which have beds inside. We had cold and wet weather so I was happy about the sleeping bags they provided (there were no flies because of the coldness which was a big plus). I didn't like the many hours we sat in the "bus" driving but I guess if you do these kind of tours you have to live with it. Our tour guides tried to make it as fun as possible.
3 Day Uluru Kata-Tjuta Kings Canyon (Camping) - From Alice Springs
- Red Centre & Uluru Explorer (10 destinations)
I did this trip just after Xmas 2015. Absolutely loved it! We were lucky with the weather and it was not scorching hot and so could do all of the planned walks - Valley of the Winds at Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and the full Kings Canyon rim walk. Plus there had been a bit of rain so all of the waterholes had enough water to swim in. The Base Walk at Uluru at dawn was a highlight, as well as Kings Canyon. Camping facilities were better than expected, as was the food. Ash, our guide did a sensational job, full of knowledge and interesting stories, plus respect for the aboriginals. I highly recommend this trip!!
