“Do the big hike!!”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

The worse thing of attending this National Park is the over the top prices to enter. Most national parks charge you for the car (ie: Kosciuszko National Park, the most expensive I have been to thus far....until now...is $27 a car)....here, they slug you $25 PER PERSON!!! Yes, it is a three day pass, handy if you want to stay... More

“Lovely walk”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

Lovely walk and beautiful picture opportunities. It's nice to go on a tour but I did feel a little restricted by time. Glad I came back here again. It won't be the last time.

“AAT KINGS - what a nightmare”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

Visit the Olgas - YES, but avoid AAT Kings. The guides were only interested in how good they were and not whether the party could keep up with them.In a coach of about 30 there will be mixed ability, we are not all 20 something year old trekkers!. Given that there is a choice of a more taxing walk and... More

“Wow”

Reviewed 29 April 2013

What a great place to go to really feel the peace of the outback. There are a number of different walks to do, with varying degrees of difficulty. We did all of them (and note that the longer one incoporates that hard bits from the first two and then is quite easy). Definite place to see on your trip to... More

“Sunset Tour & Barbecue (AAT King)”

Reviewed 29 April 2013

All the Uluru tours are pretty overpriced and you could probably do them yourself without much loss of value if you have a car and are armed with a good guide book. Leaving that aside, this tour was interestingly presented by our guide, Jenny, and not too arduous. Kata Tjuta is definitely worth a visit – culturally less interesting than... More

“Absolutely a must”

Reviewed 25 April 2013 via mobile

We took the Uluru express buss. Stopped to watch the sun rise and by 7.45am we were on our way for the 3 hours walk among the Olgas. A terrific, spectacular and breathtaking walk. I suggest you wear comfortable walking or mountain walking shoes. Here you get to a point where you can choose left or right to start the... More

“Interesting views and walks”

Reviewed 13 April 2013

We drove first to a viewing area close to Kata Tjuta and walked a short distance for a good view of the area. They are like a row of giant red rock rounded mountains from a distance. We next drove to Walpa Gorge car park and embarked on our first walk. The walk was 2.6km return and took us close... More

“Don't miss to walk between mountain!”

Reviewed 12 April 2013

One hour drive from Ayer’s rock to visit this beautiful mountain, don’t forget to take a walk around the mountain. Pro: 1. Nature beauty 2. Sunset and Sunrise. 3. Walking around the rock or inside between rocks 4. Roads are good 5. Plenty of car parking Cons: 1. Flies everywhere when you travel in summer. Better travel around June-Aug. 2.... More
