- 【Alice Springs】Uluru Ayers Rock & Kings Canyon 8 Days Touring Package
We all has a really fantastic time and enjoyed every minute of it
- 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 ????
- 3 Day Uluru Adventure
My Adventure Tours 3 Day Uluru Safari trip was amazing. Mel (Our guide) was an awesome lady! Super friendly, great cook and knowledgable with whatever we asked her. My favourite part of the tour was the cultural walk with Vincent around the base of Uluru! Vincent was so knowledgable and passionate about telling us the aboriginal stories that he had my full attention the entire 2 hours. Overall, really really awesome experience! Highly recommended
