You have the option to do an early sunrise tour on your own dime, or you can take it easy in the morning instead. Later you'll travel through desert scenery, passing Curtin Springs Station and Atila while your guide talks about cattle station history and what life's like out here. Keep an eye out for wild horses and camels roaming the area. By afternoon you reach Kings Canyon Resort to relax before dinner. After you eat, head out to experience the Light Towers, a Bruce Munro art installation that really transforms the landscape at night.

Kings Canyon to Alice Springs
Get up early because there's a rocky climb ahead to the canyon rim, where sunrise views of Watarrka National Park are waiting. Then you follow the rim past several lookout points, or if you'd prefer, drop down into the 'Garden of Eden' oasis for the full roughly 3-hour circuit walk. There's also an easier option if you want to walk the canyon floor instead. After that, you'll head back to Alice Springs via Erldunda, a classic roadhouse that sits right at the junction of two highways.
Included Activities
- Kings Canyon Rim Walk to sunrise viewpoint
- Canyon rim walk with lookout points
Optional Activities
- Full circuit walk to 'Garden of Eden' oasis (approximately 3 hours, rocky and steep, high fitness level required)
- Easier shorter walk on canyon floor
