What people love about Uluru / Ayers Rock 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!
- 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!!
