What people love about touring Australia Northern Territory solo
- 3 Day Uluru Kata-Tjuta Kings Canyon (Camping) - From Alice Springs
Really amazing experience with the 3 Day Red Centre Uluru Kings Canyon tour! Everything was extremely well organized, and our guide, Jordan, was incredible. His warmth, kindness and humour set a great tone for the group and made for an exceptional experience! Highly recommended!
- 3 Day Uluru Adventure
Decided last minute to join a trip on my own to see Uluru. This was a daunting task for me as I have mad anxiety. I almost cancelled going on this trip so many times to then be welcomed on the trip by a guide called 'Wildman' was a bit scary. However, it was three days of laughs and I felt welcomed. I listened and learnt so much and truly felt the magic that the places in the centre had to offer. I am so glad that I had Wildman as a guide and really felt like I achieved a lot in the three days while learning so much about such an amazing place.
- Kakadu, Katherine & Litchfield Explorer
This trip was better than I expected, from the strong local knowledge of Rick, our tour guide, to the dynamics of the 12 people, of varying age and country. Magnificent scenery, wonderful aboriginal culture and many refreshing waterholes/watwrfalls. Highly recommend this trip to people of all ages.
