What people love about Uluru / Ayers Rock Tours from Alice Springs
- 3 Day Uluru Kata-Tjuta Kings Canyon (Camping) - From Alice Springs
Such a spectacular place to visit. Whilst Tristan was quite knowledgeable, it was a shame there was no visit to the cultural centre or any further acknowledgment of country. Felt quite rushed, not really enough time to soak it all in when we were at the top of Kings Canyon. Maybe more than 3 days to explore would be better? A group of 21 is challenging to be a part of. Especially when so many of them want to talk with each other loudly as we are walking around such incredible natural areas. Overall I loved being out there, who wouldn’t be in awe of this part of Australia?!
- 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.
