Excellent tour. I have no hesitation in giving it 5 stars. The bus was on time, our guide was charming, well informed, knowledgeable and added to the whole experience. The walk was stunning and made even more interesting by the talks and explinations by our guide. I will definately be recommending your base walk to my friends and I will be using Viator the next time I am in Australia.
Else, our tour guide, was exceptionally knowledgable not just about the cultural and spiritual significance of the different sites around Uluru but also about the flora and fauna of the area. She was attentive, changing the pace of the walk according to the requirements of the group - there were 12 of us - ensuring that we returned to the hotel in time to get our flight back to Sydney. My wife left her camera on the tour bus and this was returned to us by post. Breakfast, included in the price, was excellent. My one small gripe was that I hadn't realised that the tour didn't include the entry fee to the National Park, which I had to pay by cash on the morning of the tour. I'd recommend this tour because the bigger tour groups that we saw didn't appear to fully take in all the wonders of one of the most amazing places on earth
Fantastic way to see the "Rock". We had a really knowledgeable guide; and a beautiful morning to watch the sunrise. Our son Thomas, aged 10 years, enjoyed the walk a lot - it wasn't at all taxing despite the distance - lots of rest stops and a gentle pace - terrific !!!
This was a very easy, flat 12k walk meandering through the nooks and crannies of Uluru. A wonderful commentary by Nicki and Kylie, and the rockpools were a highlight. Not to be missed.
Although the sunrise was hidden by a very overcast sky and we did not get to see the famous colour changes, the walk around the base was very refreshing and exhilarating, the landscape and Uluru was fascinating. Due to the recent heavy rain, the landscape surrounding Uluru instead of being the barren red earth (which we see in most picture of Uluru) was surprisingly lash green with vegetation.
Be warned this is a 5 hour walk, therefore pray you have a strong bladder or be prepared to go behind a bush, as the only toilet facility is near the end of the walk. Plus do not forget to take a hat and face net to keep the flies off your face. Also try not to do this walk just before flying – if you have no choice then make arrangements with your hotel to some kind of washing and changing facilities– take my word, you will need it.
This was a very interesting place to see. Beautiful at sunrise and our gide was very informative with her stories about the lifestyle of the Aboriginal people.
a lovely way to start the day
