The scenery of the Kings Canyon was spectacular. Prior to booking this trip I was concerned about the difficulty of the rim walk. Glen, the tour guide, took safety seriously & he looked after everyone with extreme care, reminding all of us to drink a bit water at a time to avoid dehydration. The tour wouldn’t be so successful without Mike, the driver & co-tour guide. He farewelled us with a big smile after driving the whole long day. This tour totally exceeded my expectations. Well done, Glen & Mike!

I took the trip and it was fantastic. The very early start time was not a problem as the very comfortable bus allowed good snooze. Just before sunrise we saw wild horses and camels roaming around. The hike through the canyon was fantastic ... views breathtaking. Garden of Eden ... a true miracle in the desert.

At first I was hesitant to book this tour due to how expensive it was. Honestly I think a lot of the AAT tours, while great for some people, are a bit overhyped and overpriced if your main goal is to have an active adventure and learn along the way. Though without a guide, often you end up just looking at pretty sights while missing out on the learning. This tour had just the right balance of “touriness” and adventure. Although the drives to and from Kings Canyon were around 3 hours each starting at 4 AM from the resort, there were sufficient stops along the way (a very good and satisfying breakfast buffet stop on the way there at Kings Creek Station, and Kings Canyon Resort lunch and Curtin Spring visit on the way back). Our guides were also regularly telling us stories about the geology, wildlife, plants, and history of the area (after giving us enough time to nap!), which kept things engaging. For me, the guides truly made the difference from this being a great tour to being an unforgettable one. Our driver Dan (and guide for those two did the shorter creek walk) was really entertaining and knowledgeable, and our guide Glen for the rim walk (the one I did) on the canyon was an absolute joy to be around. He was extremely kind and a great source of support during the trip, and his passion and knowledge for the land and its history was infectious! The rim walk hike itself was also one of the most enjoyable walks I’ve ever done due to the level of challenge and the scenery. It has a couple of slightly more challenging parts to keep more experienced hikers entertained, but the majority is accessible to most levels, and even the easier parts are absolutely beautiful, enhanced further by the 5% chance rain we had which created some really rare waterfalls and streams. (Note that if doing this when it’s hot and sunny out, which is most of the time, you will need 3 L of water and good sun protection! And it will NOT look as wet as it is in my photos, even the “Garden of Eden” oasis spot in the center of the canyon.) All in all, this has become my favorite day spent during my 10-day Australia trip by far. Of course definitely also check out Kata Tjuṯa and Uluru too (I did them independently with the audio guide app and hop-on hop-off buses in one day, busy but good enough for me), but the Kings Canyon day trip is not to be missed and is (in my opinion) worth every dollar. If you have to spend money on just one tour while in Uluru, make it this one. Thank you again so much Glen and Dan!!

Michelle (guide) and Franck (driver) were absolutely fantastic to make this big day unforgettable. Full of live memories and invaluable insights/learning (on landscapes, recent and geological history, First people local culture)! The rim walk is physically demanding so listen to very clear guide advices. Absolutely not to be missed though (if your health/age condition permits).

The rim hike was awesome! We did it on a really hot summer day (105 F/41 C), but early start made it bearable. If you can make it up the first 500 steps, the rest is very enjoyable. Mitch was a great guide
