2-Day Alice Springs and Kings Canyon Tour from Ayers Rock

Ayers Rock, Australia

Experience Alice Springs and Kings Canyon as you travel through the heart of the red center on this 2-day tour traveling from Ayers Rock and concluding at Alice Springs.

Day 1: Ayers Rock - Kings Canyon
Depart Ayers Rock at 12.30pm and travel through the vast desert landscapes of the Australian 'Outback'. Stop to view the amazing Atila (Mt Conner) mesa, or flat-topped mountain. Continue to the impressive Watarrka National Park, home of the remarkable formation of Kings Canyon and the George Gill Ranges.

Overnight Accommodation: Kings Canyon Resort - Located just seven kilometers from Watarrka National Park, the home of the extraordinary sandstone formation of Kings Canyon. Designed with the utmost sensitivity to the environment, the Resort is a single-storey construction that blends in quietly with the surrounding area while providing a range of quality accommodation. There is a restaurant for fine dining, a cafe for affordable light meals and an outdoor BBQ area.

Day 2: Kings Canyon Rim Walk - Alice Springs
For the more energetic, enjoy an early guided walk to the rim of Kings Canyon enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and the towering orange walls. Continue through the domed rock formation of the 'Lost City', then descend into the lushly vegetated valley where the 'Garden of Eden' is found (good supportive footwear, hat and water are essential - the walk takes around three hours and requires a reasonable degree of fitness). An alternative easy walk along the canyon floor is also available, affording stunning views of the canyon walls looming above. Depart for Kings Creek Station, an operating cattle station, start to learn a little about life on an 'Outback' property. Together with its day to day cattle operations, Kings Creek Station herds and exports wild camels to Arabian countries for breeding and racing. Early in the afternoon, depart for Alice Springs.

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._br/_ 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 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.

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!
