Set out from Ayers Rock Resort and journey through the desert landscape to Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park, pausing for a hearty breakfast at Kings Creek Station. On arrival, prepare for the highlight of the day — a climb to the canyon rim, where dramatic cliffs and sweeping views of the Red Centre unfold before you.
Follow your guide along the rim circuit walk, a rewarding 3-hour hike past lookout points and ancient rock formations. If conditions allow, descend into the Garden of Eden, a sheltered oasis with rare plants and permanent waterholes.
For those seeking a gentler option, an easier trail at the canyon floor offers a closer look at giant boulders and the scale of the cliffs. After exploring, enjoy free time for lunch (own expense) before the relaxing drive back to Ayers Rock Resort.
The transportation is good the driver and guides Michelle and Jessica were both very nice and accommodating. The rim walk was incredibly hard but it’s amazing, no regrets, loved it! Jessica was very nice as she made me feel safe. Great experience, thanks team!
The bus tour was long but very comfortable. The driver was excellent . He was also an excellent guide for the canyon walk.
Absolutely wonderful day trip. Fantastic way to experience Kings Canyon. Everything was taken care of and their knowledge was brilliant. Throughly recommended this tour.
Michelle, our guide, absolutely made this day fabulous. she provided wonderful insights into the characters who first explored and settled the area. She provided just the right amount of info (sometimes guides are either too quiet or just plain annoying!) I did the rim walk. The first 100 stairs up are the hardest, but from there, the pace and difficulty are achievable for most people. I’m a solo traveler and usually go alone but this was one trip I’m glad I went with Wonder Travel. Brilliant day.
Mitch and Colin were amazing on this full day tour! The pick up was on time and the coach was fantastic and comfy, reclining seats and a bathroom on board. The breakfast and the station was delicious and just what we needed after an early wake up. The information about the places we were visiting was fantastic and both are very knowledgeable. We decided to do the 3hour hike off the rim and boy was it worth it! Although the feedback from the base walkers was also great, so whichever you choose will be worth it for you! The toughest part of the rim walk was definitely the beginning but after that it was a great time with lots of stops to share information about the area. Lunch options were awesome and the so at Curtin Springs was great! Highly recommend to all!
Had a great day, everyone was great from the driver Andrew to the guides Mitch and Hayley. I completed the 3hr Rim walk and had a lovely time with so many beautiful spots and views throughout the hike.
Mitch was AMAZING! PLACE WAS FANTASTIC and challenging. allowed it. Thanks Mitch!
