Red Centre Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- Uluru & Kings Canyon Family Adventure
Fantastic trip! A short but sweet adventure through Australia's Outback! Be ready for some hot days, simply stunning hiking through King's Canyon, the grand Uluru and the Olga red rocks. A must-do if you're short on time or a must-see extension to your trip!
- 【Alice Springs】Uluru Ayers Rock & Kings Canyon 8 Days Touring Package
covered lots of areas with good coordination Enjoyed learning and having the transportation and bookings taken care of.
- 3 Day Uluru Kata-Tjuta Kings Canyon (Camping) - From Alice Springs
Overall experience was good and we throughly enjoyed it!! Just a few points we’d like to mention to make the tour better 1. More alternative milks for cereals and hot drinks as one carton didn’t last 3 days! 2. More drinks offered with meals , other than just water which goes warm when our walking all day! 3. Different lunch options rather than 3 days of wraps! 4. Beans and eggs would have been a good option for breakfast too , especially when you’re going out walking for 4 hours! Apart from these little observations , the tour was excellent and the guides were very knowledgeable. Would recommend you to others. Thanks ????
