The scenery is dramatic and so different. King's Canyon and Uluru are at the top of my 'like' list. They are just beautiful.

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!!Show more

Debora, our well travelled, Italian born tour guide, did a great job of making all ages (20-72) and nationalities part of one happy group. We all had a great time! Deb certainly knew her stuff and passed on a lot interesting info. The success of any tour relies heavily on the competence of the tour guide. We were lucky to have Debora. As far as itinerary goes, the Red Centre doesn't disappoint. The scenery is dramatic and so different. King's Canyon and Uluru are at the top of my "like" list. They are just beautiful. The day's starts were very early but gave us more time to enjoy the journey rather than feeling rushed. The King's Canyon camp was the best - isolated, peaceful, starry nights and the best location to try sleeping in a swag. This trip (PAY4CY) was not the basic backpacker cheapie, meaning that a host was already at camp with meals prepared ready for our arrival. Special thanks to Angela, our host at KC camp. She was just lovely. Everything done with a smile and lovely food. Intrepid will miss her. On Day 4 Debora gave us the opportunity to choose between the 24km Palm Valley detour, as per the itinerary (2 bumpy 4wd hours each way), or a series of detours to Redbank Gorge, Ormiston Gorge, Ochre Pits and Simpson's Gap. We all voted for the latter and really enjoyed a relaxed, easy day. Some even swam. Good suggestion Deb! Yes, I'd choose Intrepid again. One of our group had done 4 previous trips with them and been happy with all. I'm now looking at Intrepid's S.American options.Show more
