What people love about Australian Outback Tours from Alice Springs
- 3 Day Uluru Kata-Tjuta Kings Canyon (Camping) - From Alice Springs
The 3 day/2 night tour of the Red Center was spectacular. Our tour guide Sheeana was amazing!!! She was so informative, full of energy the entire time, and very accommodating. We weren’t able to fully climb certain hikes, so she modified our experience. It was so good to not feel pressured to go over our physical limitations and have a guide to tell us details about everything we were seeing. The camps were beyond expectation. We aren’t really camping people, so we were nervous about what we were getting ourselves into. The private tents were comfy, the showers and toilets were not scary at all, and we had electricity to charge phones in the main common area. It was perfect for groups, couples, or individuals that aren’t heavily experienced outdoors people. We highly recommend this tour!
- 3 Day Uluru Adventure
Had such an amazing time, our guide Luke was fantastic!! Very funny and informative. Only downside was the flies, but no one can do anything about them! It was very hot, follow the advice and drink loads of water! I would definitely recommend this trip, and would use the company again. Can't fault them in any way. Thanks again for a fabulous time.
