Worth the very early morning start !!! Worth the 4.30am pickup !!!Taken to a viewing platform to watch the sunrise over Uluru. Breakfast wasn’t included, but they offered coffee, tea and hot chocolate and some cookies.
Once the sun was up, we had a 45 minute ride to Kata Jjuta where we walked into Wolfpack Gorge, this was over very rocky and uneven terrain but worth it for spectacular views with sun coming through the rocks.
On way back to the hotel, we stopped at a viewing platform where we could see 6 or 7 of the 36 domes all at once
But my top tip is get a fly net there are hundreds of them and they're all over you when out and about I didn't need lunch as I'd eaten so many of them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mike,
Thank you for such a detailed and entertaining review! We’re glad the early 4:30am start paid off with a beautiful Uluru sunrise and those spectacular views at Kata Tjuṯa and Walpa Gorge. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the hot drinks and the scenic stops along the way too.
And yes — the flies definitely like to make themselves part of the experience! 😄 Your tip about a fly net is spot on and will be very helpful for future guests. Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure (with fewer flies next time!).

Totally Worth It!!! The view of Uluru was spectacular. The staff was extremely kind. The food was DELICIOUS and plentiful. It was a beautifully clear night with the most stars we’ve ever seen. The guide was friendly and professional. He let us know that he was not an astrologer. He only knew a few facts about a few stars he pointed out but he did relate them to how the Anangu may have used them to navigate. Our adult children weren’t thrilled when first hearing about this excursion but quickly changed their mind being there. The 7 of us highly recommend this tour!!!

Spectacular, amazing, a must see Viewing the changing colours of Uluru as the sun sets are something everyone should experience. When the sun set the sky became alive with stars, pictures can do this awe inspiring spectacle justice. The barbeque is of great quality including kangaroo in the range of available meats.

Good Way to See Uluru and Kata Tjuta This tour began super early so we could catch the sunrise over the rock. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but we still got great views of Uluru. There was a light breakfast afterwards. From there we headed to Kata Tjuta, which I really knew nothing about. It was a real bonus to see this other site that is sacred to the people indigenous to the land.Be sure to use insect repellent. Flies everywhere.

Wow, it sounds like an incredible experience, even with the clouds! Sunrise over Uluru must have been magical, and it’s great that you still got amazing views. Kata Tjuta is such a fascinating place—I love that you got to see another sacred site and learn more about the culture and land. Thanks for the tip about insect repellent; those flies can definitely be relentless out there!

I enjoyed the Kings Canyon day tour Friday 27 December. Michelle (Rim Walk guide) and Jake (Creek Bed guide and bus driver extraordinaire) were fabulous and friendly. A very pleasant bus trip followed by a nice breakfast. I opted for the Creek Bed Walk with 2 others. Jake provided relaxed and informative knowledge about local history, wildlife and vegetation. Very cruisy and pretty walk - strolling through Namatjira paintings. The rest of the intrepid crew did the rim walk.
After our walk we went back to resort - I took a helicopter tour then had snacks and 2 swims at the pool. Luxurious. So many lovely birds, some butterflies and other critters. A couple more stops on the way home made for a great day. Thankyou

As an Australian, all my life I have wanted to see Uluṟu 🇦🇺😍
I was so appreciative from the support of Rachael when I phoned and booked in and her fantastic knowledge of the tours I needed to do, to encompass and appreciate everything that Uluṟu has to offer, so that I didn’t miss anything - there was no way that I could have organised the 6 different tours I did, without her guidance.
It was a dream come true 😍🇦🇺🤩
Every guided tour I did, was done professionally and perfectly - I couldn’t have asked for more! 😍
One of the very special moments was the drone display over Uluṟu, with a class of young indigenous children included as well - they were just beautiful, interacted with other children there and behaved perfectly 😍
It made the night even more special 🥰

This company are a class act. In total, we had 4 tours / transfers with them from Alic Springs and Uluru and it all worked like clockwork.
The West Macdonnell tour from Alice Sorings with Pierre was superb! His knowledge and humour really made the tour!
The transfer from AS to Yulara was long but excellent. Regular stops made it easy and the remote service area with emus were amusing!
And then Uluru. More amazing than we expected with fantastic commentary from Ned on the sunrise tour. Again, many stops and very well managed.
Then the sunset tour and BBQ. Absolutely lovely, guided by the incredibly knowledgeable Celia. Just brilliant. And the BBQ in the middle of nowhere after dark - just amazing. What a lovely experience. We didn’t get to see the stars or Milky Way because of cloud but it was still amazing.
And Rachel’s final fun fact on the coach on the way back - I won’t spoil it but very good!
Finally - AATKing’s coaches feel a bit higher quality than others we’ve experienced. Aircon that work, good knee room and much quieter engines. This makes a difference when you’re on a coach for 12 out of 36 hours.
We’re not massive fans of coach tours but these guys are excellent.

Magical experience A special experience to see Bruce Munro's amazing Field of Lights. As the lights dim on the installation, and the stars fade, the sun rises providing incredible views of Uluru and also Kata Tjuta from a special platform.

Beautiful vista Beautiful sunset. Great wine and nibbles. It’s a very populated area so manage your expectations but everyone is enjoying the shared moment. Due to the number of people our guide didn’t check on those needing to return back to the resort. This left a confusing situation of trying to board a remaining bus. All resolved but a tad disappointing.read moreread less

What a FANTASTIC day! It was a long, but fantastic day! I did the canyon wall walk and my wife did the valley walk. We both enjoyed our walks. Being 66, the first part of the canyon wall walk was a bit challenging (starting the first climb of 500 steps), but after that, the walk was very doable. Both walks had great views. The guides were knowledgeable and interesting. They were very aware of their surroundings and conscious of safety. The breakfast was good and filling and was included with the trip. Lunch had a good selection and was also good which you buy.
I would highly recommend this trip. You see and experience the outback. It is an amazing long day!

Our room was perfect with a view of Uluru from our balcony, a welcome anniversary cheese and fruit platter waiting for us, the food for dinner at the Pool Bar was exceptional and the staff were polite, friendly and professional. What more could you want?

The scenery and overall trip were absolutely stunning, and I greatly enjoyed the rim walk itself and the accessibility provided. The driver was also kind and professional.
Unfortunately, the experience with our guide left much to be desired. While I appreciate an emphasis on safety, the risks of the rim walk were overstated repeatedly to the point of scaring a number of people in the group, which felt unnecessary. During the trek, the guide required everyone to stay behind her and would raise her voice at anyone who didn’t, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere. There were also a few remarks made that came across as inappropriate and unprofessional.
For the cost of this tour, I had expected to feel supported and encouraged, not treated like a school child. While the views were breathtaking, the lack of patience and professionalism from the guide significantly impacted the overall experience.

We booked the Day Red Centre Highlights (U4LS) tour which included accommodations and I really must commend AAT Kings for the wonderful service and arrangements. Everything was planned and organised beautifully from the moment we landed until we returned to Ayers Rock Airport. Of the many tours that we were a part of (which were all wonderful), Jessica was our tour leader for two and she was fabulous. Witty commentary, knowledgable about the area and attentive to our needs. She single handedly managed a big group that hiked Kings Canyon and was very patient throughout. Thumbs up AAT Kings and the team you have at Yulara. We will be back.

Did the Kakadu day tour. It's an early start but there's a pitstop for breakfast. First stop for rock art, then a buffet lunch. Then the Yellow River cruise which was amazing. The highlight was choosing the scenic flight. So totally worth it as you can see soo much from the air, our Driver and Guide Mel was wonderful as was Prem who did the return trip home. I think guided day trips like these are much better than hiring a car and driving. You learn soo much from the commentaries.

Much less than the resort tours! A large bus picked us up at the resort. Write drove around Uluru and were given commentary on the sacred sites we passed. It was very hot, so I was happy to be in an air conditioned bus for the ride around the rock. We stopped at the cultural center. There was interesting history written within wall art , many photos, and a short movie about the local peoples. There was a gift shop and clean toilets. There was a short walk to a watering hole containing native artwork. Our guide Mitch did a great job telling us about the area and keeping people organized and together. We were taken to a viewing area for the sunset. There was plenty of champagne and light snacks to enjoy while we waited for the sunset. On our visit, there was a huge cloud obstructing the sun, so we didn’t get the colors we were expecting. We did get some amazing lightning in the opposite direction. You can never predict nature! It was great that Mitch kept reminding everyone to keep drinking their water. There was plenty of cold water on the bus and we were able to refill our water bottles at each stop. We were offered folding stools to sit on while waiting for the sunset, but they were too low for this senior citizen. We walked over to an area with benches and picnic tables instead. I could see where this area could get very crowded, but on our night we were okay, and there wasn’t a great view anyway.read moreread less

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and the insights Mitch provided. It’s great that you were comfortable in the air-conditioned bus and stayed hydrated throughout the day as it is very important specially in a hot day in Uluru. We appreciate your feedback about the stools and will keep that in mind for future tours. Even though the sunset wasn’t as expected, we're glad you were able to enjoy the lightning, nature can certainly surprise us! We hope you had a memorable experience overall and thank you again for your thoughtful review!

Awesome experience.
AATKings provided a fabulous guide Michelle and driver Andrew. Comfortable 3-4 hour trip to Kings Canyon, with informative commentary, mostly on the way back.
Make sure to take 3 litres of water, not allowed to do the 3-4 hour trek without it. And get the national Park pass $10 prior, we got ours when we booked tour.
The start of the trek is the hardest, starts with 500 stairs going straight up. Rest stops along the way, pace yourself.
Beautiful views, some water holes (swimming not permitted / sacred sites) clear signed tracks.
Highly recommend but be fit to do so.

I booked the Uluru morning base walk tour months in advance online. AAT King staff provided clear instructions via email regarding where to meet on the morning of the departure, and our coach arrived promptly as described. My wife and I actually went on the tour yesterday and it was awesome! We had an unusually small group of only 10 people, so everyone was able to ask questions and actively participate. Our tour guide Glen and driver Col were absolute superstars! Glen was extraordinarily kind and engaging. His masterful stories really made our experience memorable. Col is a skilled coach driver as well as a wonderful photographer. Tour also included a late morning breakfast with coffee/tea, biscuits, fruit and cereal. Glen also offered us apples and other foods prior to starting the long walk, which was much appreciated. Kudos to both of these gentlemen for a job well done!

We spent a couple of days visiting the Uluru-Kata Tjuta national park, and took three tours with AAT Kings: the Uluru sunrise/Kata Tjuta tour, the Uluru sacred sites/sunset/BBQ dinner tour, and the Field of Light sunrise tour. All of them were exceptional - well organised, well executed, well catered - and the tour guides were superb. They shared interesting information, and were thoughtful and attentive to all guests and their needs. We were lucky to be looked after by many members of the AAT Kings team, but special thanks go to Hayley, Lucy, Rob and Colin for looking after us so well.

I went on two trips with AAT Kings whilst staying in Uluru and honestly I could not recommend them enough. Everything is extremely well organised but the most impressive was the acknowledge the guides have of the area. They were clearly passionate about what they do and it just made the whole trip even more interesting. The Kings Canyon day trip and rim walk was outstanding and probably the unexpected highlight of my trip, despite the 4am start! It’s an absolute must do in my opinion. If you’re fit definitely do the rim walk. The first 10 minutes was the hardest but then you just enjoy the day! It was outstanding and our guide John was fantastic and clearly loves what he does.
The sunset trip to Kata Tjuṯa was also an unexpected surprise. You think this trip is all about Uluru (which is amazing of course) but this was fabulous and the colours are incredible. We had a guide who was relatively new (Renee) but again she was full of knowledge and very passionate about what she does. This has made me definitely look at AAT Kings for my next adventure which will hopefully be The Kimberley’s. A huge 10/10 from me. Thank you to everyone who made this trip so special.

Agreat day out. The 4am start is a small sacrifice for such a memorable day.Even the 3 hour bus trip to Kings Canyon was interesting, we saw camels, brumbies, and cattle, including a large bull crossing the road right in front of the bus! The buffet breakfast was excellent. Kings Canyon was spectacular! Well worth seeing.
10 out of 10 for the tour guides
A faultless effort by both of them, they were calm, polite, friendly, funny at times, always engaging . They were interesting to listen to, telling stories about the history of the area, the landscape, its people, the plants and animals that live and lived there, their knowledge of the area would have made David Attenbrough proud. Outstanding! Well done Jacob and Glen, a fantastic day out.

Logistics not optimal Staff was great, food was good, star gazing was a little lacking because the moon was out (not the fault of the staff, just the timing, and the talk was fine). It wasn’t quite what we expected, though, in terms of logistics we were dropped off in a parking lot near Ayer’s Rock to watch the sunset and were offered some wine, beer and cheese. After about 1-1/2 hrs, we reboarded the bus and were taken to a different parking area where they had tables set up for the dinner. So our only complaint was having to get on and off the bus at two locations for appetizers and dinner.read moreread less

Enjoying Ayers Rock sunset. Very well organized. The snacks while watching the sun go down was a bonus. I enjoyed the many color changes of Ayers Rock as the sun set. Great time.read moreread less

Wonderful tour! The tour was wonderful! Jakob and Hayley were so incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. This tour really highlighted the rich history of Uluru and its cultural significance. We especially loved hearing the stories of the different sides of the rocks as we hiked and drove around the site. It was quite hot but the team made sure we stayed hydrated and in the shade as much as possible. The sunset was absolutely stunning and for only spending the day in Uluru we left with such an appreciation for this beautiful place! Thank you! Our tour was technically the sacred sites one booked through the resort but didn’t see it listed.read moreread less

The drivers are great and the buses are very comfortable and well presented.
AAT Kings also run the shuttle bus around the resort which is also run very professionally and the bus is also comfortable and clean.
Drivers Tony and Jess in particular were very professional and friendly

Amazing experience and Glen is fantastic WE did the Kings Canyon & Outback Panoramas (Return Ayers Rock) (Y19) tour with AAT which included a decent breakfast (included) , rim walk of the Kings Canyon and then a relaxed lunch (at own expense) and return transfer to Ayers rock resort.WE loved every moment of the Tour. A Big shout out to our guide - Glen who was friendly, knowledgeable and had an amazing sense of humour. His amazing commentary and anecdotes greatly enhanced the experience. The Driver Frank was also amazing and he also acted as our guide for the creek walk (for people who did not want the complete rim walk- which is around 8 kms and has 500 steps) . A full day tour but was very nice.

Uluṟu at sunrise a perfect start to your day The red centre experience would be incomplete without visiting and walking around the iconic Uluṟu. You can ride and run the 12.5km trail surrounding this sacred site independently, however walking with a guide who is pointing out and discussing the significance and story telling of some of the rock formations enlightens you and enhances your experience significantly. Otherwise you really would not understand or appreciate what you were looking at. It would just be red rock. Cultural respect means photographing the interesting rock face is prohibited but you walk away with a true sense of why Uluṟu is considered the heart of Australia. It is a pity the tours are significantly expensive, making it beyond the financial reach of many families. We felt very fortunate to be able to enjoy this experience. You walk the 12.5 km briskly with opportunity to stop for a few minutes to take it all in. My husband is a fit 80 year old and managed the pace set by the guide. If you have an ailment you would find it difficult. The breakfast was ample and nourishing.read moreread less

Storm in the desert Apparently, we were really lucky to be there in the rain as it so rarely happens !So we got up at 4am to a fabulous light show - lightning. Drove to the viewing spot to enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee only to find that the tables had blown away in the storm taking our coffee with them.
We managed to stay on the bus to avoid getting drenched - there was nothing to see anyway as the storm clouds were obscuring the sun.
Then onto the next stop where we did manage a walk in the rain to look ot the gorge.
On a serious note - if the weather is unkind, there is NOTHING to do in the resort.

Sunset tour This was an easy way to go and see the sunset Kata Tjuṯa with no worries about anything once the bus picks you up. The viewing area is a little further away than expected but it was still beautiful and we were the only bus load of people at the viewing area making it easy to get your own spot.
The staff were great and very informative.

Best AAT Tour in Uluru! We did 4 Viator tours in Uluru and this was our favourite. The day was long but the bus was very comfortable driven by Colin who was friendly and cheerful. Our tour director John was a crack up and very knowledgable. He was considerate to everyone and made our day very enjoyable. There was a surprisingly good hot breakfast included once we were almost there and then the hike (Rim walk) was the absolute highlight. It was challenging at the beginning but anyone with general fitness could easily do it. Rarely have I been on a hike where the scenery is breathtaking the entire way.
Tip: Make sure you bring 3 Litres of water because the rangers do spot checks and won't allow you to do the walk if you don't. We only had 1.5 litres each and it cost us $6 for 1.5litre bottle at the servo so make sure you visit IGA where it costs you $2.30 beforehand!
