I did this hike and I am glad I did but in saying that I could not do it again! It was a climb up in some places and I noticed it fast. So if you are out of shape or overweight, think twice, be prepared and go at your own pace. Otherwise it will seem even longer. But it is beautiful scenery and kind of surprising.
Great trip, very well organised and amazing guide!
Pioneer was mediocre. the Kings Canyon Wilderness Lodge was Fantastic, great food exceptional service and the Staff were very knowledgable about the area. Great Time , Would Highly Recommend this to all travellers.
Enjoyed it very much Good value for the $ Explanations along route were informative we also did the King canyon long walk climbing the steep 500 stairs escorted by Rowan (one guide for 2travelers) as the others preferred to sleep She was very good and helpful.
Sehr empfehlenswert; war ein tolles Erlebnis dass ich nicht missen moechte, stunning adventure - highly recommended
Excellent tour starting with a meet and greet at the airport with a personalised programme. We were three days with our guide Michael and he was outstanding. With hindsight we should have selected a hotel a grade above the Desrt Garde..
Our walk around the Kings Canyon rim was superb in no small measure due to our guide, Rowan, who was absolutely outstanding.
Amasing journey with beautiful landscape
discovering arborigenes history is very captivating
Memorable trip thru the red country with gorgeous sunset or sunrise
Driver Guide very nice and ineresting
A wonderful trip. I read the reviews before and was open minded. This is a great way to see Kings Canyon, the drive is long but the driver was good with updates and I investigated the times before. Everything worked smoothly and was on time, our driver John, helped me arrange an additional helicopter trip and was very accommodating, thanks. A great way to see Oz in comfort and not having to do the driving yourself.
The Resort was similar to Ayers Rock with food prices and the trip is clear about inclusions. Yes no live bugs in the room and given that we are in the Outback I was impressed with how clean the room was, on the same standard to Ayers Rock. Very quiet and I felt safe.
I did not realise that Viator were an Agent until afterwards, the trip was the same price as booking direct and I will be using again for other trips.
We visited Kings Canyon en route to Uluru, and were happily surprised by the beauty of the park. We hiked the whole ridge, about 3h hike, but it took us a bit longer as we stopped numerous times for taking photos or just taking in the scenery. Day started with rain but it did not take away the red color of the stones, just a different feeling. As morning progressed, sky cleared up and we had blue sky and sunshine, giving high contrast between the red rocks, the blue sky and the green flora. The Garden of Eden well deserved its name, with singing birds and lush trees. Definitely recommended, and only the first 5-10 minutes are tough, the rest of the hike pretty easy!
From the description, I thought, I would be going directly to Ayers Rock Uluru with this trip. Apparently it just meant being picked up in the town of Ayers Rock, so I had to quickly book a trip at 8am to see the red rock up close and be returned by noon so I could get on this tour. Also, the Kings Canyon hotel is very basic and as low budget as a motel, with ants everywhere and no ice in the entire motel. Glad I was only there for one night. The Kings Canyon Rim Walk was excellent!
We had anticipated a tour of Kings Creek Station and not just call to have a cup of coffee. Very limited information offered for evening meal and also very limited choice. Coach driver gave very little commentary on points of interest.
Our tour guide was interesting, knowledgeable and entertaining. We enjoyed our tour of Ayers Rock and learned much about the Outback and the creation beliefs of the Aboriginal people. Great tour. Thanks.
Ayers Rock was great, being able to run your hand over pictures hundreds of years old, now wish I had walked on the rock. Many people were walking to the summit. Cattle ranch was amazing. Kings Canyon was also very good, but I never did the rim walk & later regretted it. There is no time limit, take your time & go for it. Dropped off at hotel in Alice Springs, which was a bit of a letdown. We were on the bus anyway, would it have hurt to do a 1 hour tour of Alice Springs before the drop off? Our driver was very informative & funny.
The tour company was great. Viator failed to deliver key information to us, though, and that made the trip a little confusing at the first.
Fantastic tour. We chose the deluxe option and the hotels were good, especially the Kings Canyon Resort. We enjoyed the spectacular views of Uluru and Kings Canyon. Be aware that there is a lot of coach travel involved, but the guide we had made it very enjoyable and added to the experience.
