Reviews
Absolutely fantastic trip, well organised, perfect pick up and guidance from ATT Kings. Super nice sites, great views and unforgettable experience. Very highly recommended. you need to see it once in your lifetime 🙌🙌👍🫶
Our itinerary started with watching the sunrise, and everyone received a hot drink and a snack. Since the sunrise viewing spot was quite crowded, we had to walk a bit further to find a good place for photos. After the sunrise, we went to hike the Valley of the Winds at Kata Tjuta. It was very windy along the way, but the scenery was stunning, and we were constantly awestruck by the valley. Afterward, our guide took us to two more viewpoints where we could see Kata Tjuta from a distance, and it looked beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds.
The grade 3 gorge walk is a bit tough for those who are not used for hiking. There is no break in between. you have to keep walking and then get back, as others walk much much faster than you. It was around an hour return walk
The guide and the driver are energetic and enthusiastic. The walk was a bit rush. There is not much time to take photoes given that the walk is a grade 3. Be prepared to show your park pass even though you might have already purchased it with other travel operator. I spent an extra A$38 for it which was the only complaint
The whole journey was smooth, with hot chocolate, coffee and tea to start our morning with breathtaking sunrise view of Uluru. The tour guide, James, explained so many knowledge about Kata Tjuṯa, including historical, geographical and cultural aspects!
Iur guides Jesse and Celia were amazing. They shared their wealth of knowledge and fielded questions with ease. Sunrise at Uluru was incredible and hot drinks and snacks certainly added to the experience. Kata Tjuṯa Walpa Gorge walk was such a contrast and the final stop gave us a panoramic view of both locations. Miney well spent.
The bus tickets were sold out, so I joined the tour. It's very early in the morning, but it's worth it. The truck will walk with you, so you won't get lost. They also take a lot of photos, so it was a great memory! Thank you!
Everything was perfect. It had rained, so it wasn't hot. There was a cool breeze, and it smelled wonderful. We even saw frogs, which is very rare. Quite an experience!
I was very satisfied because I could tour efficiently and enjoy both Uluru and Kata Tjuta! They stopped at many photo spots. They also gave us snacks here and there, which was perfect for the early morning. I'm so glad I got to see such a wonderful view!
Uluru is located in the center of the world, no matter it is day or night, it can’t hide its beauty. Walking around Uluru, you can slowly experience the uncanny workmanship of nature... But the weather is quite hot, it is best to have Mental preparation.
