Itinerary
See MapDay 1: Kata Tjuta and Uluru Sunse
Alice Springs is really where you need to go to understand the heart and soul of Australia. Meet your tour guide and fellow travelers at the Alice Springs pick-up point this morning and set off to explore the Red Centre. For those starting their tour from Ayers Rock, pick up time is 2pm.
Uluru is the heart of Australia and represents so much about this country; its size, its beauty and its culture. Shortly after you arrive, the unmistakable Uluru will emerge from the earth as one giant boulder. Walk off your lunch at Kata Tjuta which is only a short drive away. With its 36 various-sized domes, it provides quite a contrast to Uluru. You’ll get to know the landscape pretty well on an afternoon hike between the domes. As the evening unfolds, enjoy a light snack as the sun slowly sets casting a variety of earthy tones across Uluru. The perfect end to a remarkable day is awaiting you back at camp, as you enjoy a delicious spread of food with your group. If the weather permits, sit outside under the stars.

Day 2: Uluru
An early start this morning is rewarded with an Uluru sunrise as the sun hits the icon like a beacon, before the light floods the surrounding landscape. Your guide will take you to one of the significant cultural sights of Uluru, outlining Anangu rock art and passing on one of the creation stories of the site. While the morning is fresh, the time is yours to enjoy the self-guided, full base walk of Uluru, taking in all of the textures and valleys up-close, which isn’t evident from afar. Once you’ve had lunch, perhaps purchase some art at the Cultural Centre, hand-crafted by local First Nation Peoples of the Western and Central Deserts. Travel onto our exclusive campsite near the Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon), where the group will have dinner and enjoy the stars.

The main attraction of Watarrka National Park is undoubtedly Kings Canyon – a huge gorge enclosed by sheer rock walls many meters high. With its porous sandstone, deep gullies and hidden rock pools, it provides shelter to more than 600 species of native plants and animals. Your guide will point these out on a trek that takes in the canyon’s most famous locations such as the Lost City, the Garden of Eden, Amphitheatre, and of course North & South Walls of the canyon. After lunch we drive back to Alice Springs to say our farewells.

Is this trip right for you?
Are you starting and finishing for tour in Alice Springs? If so, this is the trip for you! The ‘Rock The Centre’ allows you to extend your stay before or after this tour to enjoy the many optional activities and experiences this historic outback town of Alice Springs has to offer.
Please note: If the start and finish locations do not suit your plans, please select one of Adventure Tours Australia’s other three options, which allows you to;
- Start and finish in Yulara
- Start in Yulara and finish in Alice Springs
- Start in Alice Springs and finish in Yulara
- To see these options please visit here
This is a basic camping experience sleeping in a swag. A swag in an Australian invention. It’s a bed roll with a thinner mattress and a canvas cover. You hop inside with your sleeping bag then zip yourself up, only allowing enough space to view the amazing stars above you.
Camping out in the open may not appeal to some people, so if you’re joining this tour you need to be sleeping in a swag, in the open and under the stars.
Temperatures in the Red Centre can be extreme. During the day the weather can be more than 40 degrees Celsius in the shade (the Australian sun is very strong) so please bring appropriate clothing, use sun protection, and drink plenty of water. During the months of June, July and August the evening temperatures can drop below zero degrees Celsius, so bring some thick socks, layers and a warm jacket.
This trip requires a moderate level of fitness as it involves a lot of walking, allowing you to really get among nature. Please bring sturdy, comfortable walking shoes and comfortable clothing.
On most days of the trip, you’ll spend several hours driving through very remote areas of the desert. Crank up the tunes and sit back to enjoy landscapes that you would miss in any other form of travel.
Camping out in the open may not appeal to some people, although a comfortable mattress, linen and power for your devices are provided.
Group participation is important on this trip, so you’ll be required to help with the preparation of meals and cleaning up. These are the kind of tasks that bring a group closer together.

Generally we recommend people to bring a large backpack/suitcase with all their gear and another smaller backpack to keep on the bus and hold their daily items ( phone, water bottle, towel, sunscreen etc ) and which they used to take on walks etc. If you have a lot of luggage is best to leave the things you don't need at your hotel/hostel where they will store it for free.
Where can I store my luggage whilst on tour?
During the tour your main luggage will be stored in our trailer. This trailer is always locked however we cannot guarantee the complete safety of your gear from theft or damage.

Most hostel and hotels will store your luggage safely free of charge.

Definitely not. Our website is designed to make is easy and convenient for you to schedule your tour. However we understand sometimes its nice to talk to someone directly. So by all means give us a call and we can organise your trip over the phone.
If I book more than one tour can I get a discount?
Absolutely! If you are booking multiple tours then we may be able to offer you a discount. Send us an email at info@lostinaustralia.org and let us know what you thinking of doing and we can put together a price for you.Also, be sure to look out for monthly specials on tours. We often have some great bargains.
How do I know when a tour is available?
You can check the departure dates of tours by using our calendar on the top right hand corner of the tour page. This will tell you what days the tour departs. For availability of seats please contact us directly at info@lostinaustralia.org or call us.
Can I just do a section of this tour and not the whole trip?
Unfortunately it is not possible to only do a part of the tour. Passengers generally need to stay with the tour from start to finish.However, drop off locations at the end of the tour made me negotiated.
Does the tour price include flights?
No. Tour prices do not include any travel arrangements other than for the duration of the tour itself. If you need assistance with booking flights or buses our travel team and certainly help - Just ask!
How far in advance do I need to book my tour?
As a rule of thumb we generally say AT LEAST 2 weeks prior to departure, this will usually get you a seat on the date you want. That being said, we cannot guarantee that spaces will be available at the time of your booking so, if you can, book as soon as possible. Bookings can still be made right up until the departure date of the tour if seats are available. If you know when you'd like to travel, please contact us and we will let you know if you need to book soon or if you have time.
If I make a deposit only, when will I need to pay the balance?
Balance on tours need to be paid at least 30 days prior to departure. Failure to do so could result is the cancellation of your seat with a fee charged. If you need more time to clear your balance then let us know ASAP and arrangements can be made.
Who travels with us
Is this tour for me?
Our tours are made up of small groups with a range of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds. Generally people who travel with us are between 20 and 49, though we also get alot passengers much older onboard - everyone is welcome! On tour we get equally as many males as females and everyone shares an enthusiasm for the out doors, nature, adventure and culture. Our tours are for those wanting to really explore and share the experience with likeminded travellers. Whether we are camping by a billabong in Kakadu National Park or sharing a cabin in Tasmania, our travellers want more than just a site seeing tour. They are chasing a hands on group experience. The trips are packed with many highlights and the pace can be fast. There may be some long drives and passengers should expect to help out when setting up camp or cooking food - this is a group adventure. However, there’s always time to chill out, have a cold beer ( or wine! ) and soak up your surroundings. As always, if in doubt then contact us directly with your concerns.
Cost and Fees
What does "Paid Locally" mean?
Some tours require you to pay national park fees directly, in cash, to the tour guide on the morning of departure. Rest assured this will be subtracted from the tour price when reserving your tour.
Will I need additional money?
Visitors are advised to bring some cash as ATMs and banks can be few and far between depending on where we are during the trip. Its handy to have some extra cash as we do stop by local shops and cafe.
Do I need to tip our guide?
If you had an amazing time on tour and wish to tip the guide, then that is completely up to you. However, tipping is not customary and is not at all expected.
Are there any hidden fees I need to know about?
Our tour prices are completely transparent. There are no additional fees involved that are not included in the overall tour price shown. If you wish to do optional activities such as helicopter rides or wildlife safaris, then an extra cost may be needed. However, this will always be made clear at the time of your booking.
Whilst on tour
What type of tent will I get?
Tents are generally designed to accommodate a minimum of 2 people. This means there is plenty of room to move about and store your luggage. However, most Uluru tours we try and encourage the use of swags and mattress rather than tents. This is the ideal way to camp in the centre of Australia; Around a campfire, under the stars!
What will the food be like?
Our emphasis is on fresh food wherever possible and our meals are nutritious and varied on these tours. If you are vegetarian or gluten intolerant we can cater for you, but if you have very specific dietary needs you may need to provide your own food, please discuss this at time of booking. For breakfast we supply cereals, fruits, toast, tea and coffee. Lunch is usually a self-serve picnic sandwich and salads; in the evening we have a cooked dinner - This can vary between pastas, bbqs, rices and other hearty food to keep you energized! We always carry water in the vehicle and you will often have the chance to buy your own drinks, ice-creams etc at stops. Please refer to each individual tour/package to establish which meals are included.
Can you cater of special diets?
We can certain cater for most dietary needs. Please advise us at the time of your booking so arrangements can be made. For travellers with more extreme diets we may ask that you bring along additional snacks.
Can I book extra accommodation for the start and end of the tour?
We know our country inside and out and would be happy to give you good recommodations. Please contact us for recommendations.
What form of vehicle do we use?
For our Uluru Tours we toss between a Troop Carrier 4WD Landcruise and a 4WD Mini bus. This depends on the size of the group and the amount of days we are out in the park. Each tour varies so please refer to your tour info panel on the top right hand side of the page.
Are there days where we travel for a long time?
During the first day we usually do a couple of hours driving to get out of the city and into the country side. However, once in the national parks, trips between attractions usually take between 30minutes to an hour.For tours heading up to Darwin or down to Adelaide, expect periods where we drive for a few hours at a time. Australia is enormous and the distance between towns and attractions can be quite large. But don't worry, we take plenty of breaks so your able to stretch and move about.For more accurate information please see tour itineraries.
What will the weather be like?
Between the months of April and August Central Australia is quite cold so be sure to bring warm clothing. Temperatures range from about 20c during the day right down to 2c at night.Between October and March temperature are warm, so light clothing during the day is ok. However, night times can still be quite cool so its wise to bring light winter clothing for extra warm.
Where do I meet the tour?
For pick up times and locations, please check out the "Start/Finish" section directly under the itinerary. Here we list everywhere we can pick up from and their respective times.There is a lot of information here to help you plan your flights and arrival.Please review careful as these can vary from tour to tour.

“a really fun trip”
Travelled 6th March 2015
(5/5)
to be honest it was a really fun trip. Much better than I imagined it would be. Main reason being the guide James(?), I'm so glad we didn't have one of those 'happy camper/Disneyland/stuffed shirt' types. And it was just one of those groups that gelled so well. Good conversation and plenty of jokes and laughter. In fact I'm really annoyed with myself for not getting contact or Facebook details off those guys so we could share photos etc.
The only comment I would make was that the quality of the bedding, the sleeping bags and pillows, left a lot to be desired. I certainly is time to give them a decent burial.
But overall it was great. Many thanks

“overall I think we all enjoyed the experience, I especially enjo”
Travelled 26th July 2018
(4/5)
We enjoyed the second half of the trip a lot more when we switched drivers. Our first was allowing his personal issues effect the quality of the trip, but he correctly pulled himself out and we got a new driver who was much more enthusiastic about the whole trip!
So we ended on a high!
One thing I would say was we were not anticipating just how cold it would be in the swags during winter! (Plus my swag on first night was damaged and so I froze the first night because I couldn’t locate the driver to get a new one!)
Also, I think driving all the way to Alice springs to then drive all the way back the next morning was a bit of a stretch. But I think that’s because we were not well informed enough about the sheer distance from Uluru!
But overall I think we all enjoyed the experience, I especially enjoyed hearing about the cultural indigenous history.

Our trip was amazing. Really enjoyed every bit of it. The food was good and also sleeping in a swag was really awesome. Conner made a really fun journey of it all.
I only have one small recommendation. On the website you can better promote the accommodations by saying that a warm shower and toilets are available. My wife was affraid that the accommodations were really basic and that you have like a bush shower and toilet. But the accommodations are really well organized so you might want to promote that better on the website!

The trip was wonderful and the tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed each of our stops, and camping in the Outback was great experience. It was a great way for my wife and I to travel and hike around the Outback without being overwhelmed with the logistics behind lodging, travel, and food. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.
My only improvement recommendation is the lunches were a bit sub-par. The breakfasts and dinners were great, but I wasn't a fan of the lunch, and it seemed like there wasn't enough for everyone.

“Many thanks for everyone's help in planning our trip :) ”
Travelled 29th January 2019
(5/5)
From a lost in Australia point of view we have no complaints and would highly recommend using your service for the following reasons:
1. All tours booked were all reasonably priced. The fact we were given the price per activity was a positive as we knew what our money was going towards. This was a benefit over other tour operators who only quoted a total and slow to provide a breakdown of the price.
2. When selecting our tours joe was extremely helpful in sending us links and that way we felt we had an ideal say in deciding our tours yet had no hassle with the actual booking. (Also went out of his way to get us on the clipper at the whitsundays). We felt this was a major benefit over peter pan as we felt we weren't just booked on tours with no details given on the type of tour or what other options were available to us. Sending two options to customers allowed us to decide if we wanted to pay more for a better experience or stay with the cheaper option. This was the case in great barrier reef and as mentioned below we were glad of our decision to upgrade.
3. Although everything was done via email we did have a slight worry that we may have issue a long the way and could not stop at a shop like Peter pan but so far we have had no issues and all bookings have been perfect.
4. For a group of 4 backpackers with different money situations the fact we could all pay at different times and different amounts each time was a huge bonus and the tracking of payments and balance was straightforward.
5. In dealing with lost in Australia we did not feel any tour was pushed upon on us. Price details etc were provided to us and the rest of the decisions were left up to us. (This benefit may be due to our dealing only be email).
From a tour operator point of view:
1. The GSL aviation flight was one of our highlights. Highly recommend the hour flight to see an extra bit of the reef.
2. Great barrier reef tour was excellent, food and staff were excellent.
3. We thought there were small minor parts of the uluru trip that could have been better but it was still good value for money.
4. Fraser island was another highlight and the fact we could meet the group in rainbow beach and be dropped back to noosa was a bonus!
My only suggestion is when we booked our first tour we were charged a credit card fee which was not disclosed when paying. This probably should be stated. I emailed after the transaction querying this and told to email again if booking any other tours. This was how I decided to get a quote from lost in oz for the east coast. I would include an option on your website for you guys to quote a groups tailored trip. We knew what we wanted to do and with a picture of a calendar with details it was very easy for Joe to quote our activities and book a bus.
Many thanks for everyone's help in planning our trip :)

This trip was great.
Mainly due to our guide Niall who was authentic, considerate, humorous, spiritual, respectful and had great knowledge. Overall he was inspirational. Also the host Dat took very good care of us and made some great meals.
The trip is as it is described everywhere but then goes beyond your expectations.
Niall and Dat, many thanks for this wonderful experience and the group for your pleasant company.

“Great trip to the Uluru, Kata Tjuta, and Kings Canyon”
Travelled 4th June 2019
(5/5)
I took this tour with Niall as my tour leader starting Dec 6, 2018. I was picked-up at my hotel on time; that said there had been confusion caused by an email I should not have received, which required a number of frustrating emails to get it all straightened out. It all worked out. There were 8 of us from Alice Springs to the Ayers Rock airport, where we picked-up the rest of the group. The drive from Alice springs to the airport was in a very comfortable vehicle with plenty of leg room and overhead storage. The leader, Niall, was outstanding in knowledge, humor, personality and driving ability. (A leader of a tour I took later in Tasmania knew Niall and spoke really well of him, too.) I really did not know what to expect on this trip and was pleased and surprised all the way. Our tent and bathroom facilities, as well as the food situation, were all fine and most acceptable---after all, we were in the outback! We were at Uluru for both sunset and sunrise (requiring getting up at 3:45!) but it was totally worth it. We had champagne for the sunset! To me, pictures of Uluru from a distance looked like something dropped into the middle of nowhere; but, when you get up close and really see the structure, it becomes amazing! The 10-km walk around it was amazing; one can see why it was such an important place for the aborigines. The short hike among rocks in a canyon of Kata Tjuta was great. We got to Kings Canyon before sunrise and took the rim hike. Sure, the 500 steps at the start are not easy but certainly worth it in order to see the Garden of Eden, among other sights. An interaction with an aborigine woman (along with a translator) who spoke about various aspects of their lives and culture was really worth while. The group ranged in age from probably mid-20s to 75. It was a good group. Over all, this was a wonderful tour and I highly recommend it to anyone who has a positive attitude for the living situation on the tour. Keep in mind that there is quite a bit of driving. And, most important: get up and look at the incredible southern sky! Any photographers who read this should take a 14mm lens with them; I used my airplane neck-rest to steady the camera during 30-sec exposures and got great pictures!

Crazy but eye-opening tour with Tyler, super helpful guide, obviously very invested in Aboriginal culture was very knowledgeable but respectful. Also it rained heavily on kings canyon tour so part of it was closed but he took us as far as we could get, walking across waterfalls and everything!! Then to top it off, I left my phone on the coach at the end of the trip but he drove back to our hotel late at night to return it on his way home, great guide, great experience, highly recommend

“Well planned and timed itinerary for a short trip”
Travelled 4th June 2019

Absolutely loved this trip.
Although short it didn’t feel rushed. Lots of early mornings but that made for no people on the base walk at Uluru and a quieter and cooler Kings Canyon walk. Catch up on sleep on the bus. For 3 days with a lot of driving it didn’t feel like we were stuck on a bus for hours and had frequent breaks
When they say basix they mean basic glamping. Comfy beds and nice camp facilities. All meals included for the 3 days and it was basic bbq meals and good vegetarian options.
Guide and host who cooked all our food were great and we really enjoyed travelling with them.
Overall a really pleasant experience

“Most amazing trip I've done”
Travelled 4th June 2019

Myself and my parents did the 3 day original Red centre adventure with an extra day added on the end to the MacDonnell Ranges. I have to say I wasn't expecting much from the NT as I had it down in my head as somewhere very empty and dull, but I ended up being absolutely blown away by the guides, service and all the facilities. The camping was fantastic: since we did the original version as opposed to basic, we were provided with beds and towels and linen. Other than being a little bit chilly, which was obviously to be expected given it was winter time, the beds were comfortable and warm enough and everything was very clean.
The camp food was cooked by camp hosts and everything was very high quality, there was plenty of it and given the limited space and cooking facilities they had to work with as well as the number of people to cater for, I think they did an excellent job.
The operation of the trip was faultless - there was a lot of driving involved but we made sufficient stops along the way for toilets/snacks etc. I absolutely loved everything that was planned for us to do, from the sunset at Uluru, sunrise walk and King's canyon rim walk. I learned so much just in the 4 days I was there. The guides were particularly wonderful and deserve a special mention -
We had Jerome and Claire T and both of them went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe and happy and enjoying themselves. Honestly can't rate them highly enough. Both spoke to you as if you were a friend and made an effort to get to know you and learn your name, which sounds like such a simple thing but made all the difference. They were patient and considerate and both assets to the company.
Overall a fantastic experience and would urge anyone even just thinking about visiting the NT to go for it. 11/10

Three of our family went on the Rock to Rock tour with Adventure (3 days, 2 nights. As a couple with 25 yr old daughter we all had a fabulous time and were able to see lots in 3 days. Meg did a great job driving us out to Kings Canyon for the night and back to see Uluru and the Kata Tjuta the next day. She was very friendly had lots of interesting facts to tell us. She always kept good time. So we were at sunset and sunrise in plenty of time. Food was great and we had plenty of it. Champagne and nibbles at sunset were great. That’s all you need on a cold night. Went back to camp for dinner when we were ready. Not rushed at all.
Only negative for me was that there was no lights in the tents at Kings Canyon (should’ve taken a head light which was advised). The 2nd nights accommodation at Yulara was much more comfortable. Being August both nights were very cold. We bought their sleeping bags which were ok but we slept in our clothes as well! Overall a great trip and would recommend it as a way to see everything in a short time. Lots of fun. Thanks Meg

“This is the way to do it”
Travelled 4th June 2019
(4/5)
This was a fab tour and I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a small group setting to do the tour. It was paced well.
I’d strongly recommend being picked up in Ayers Rock as it saves you the long drive on the bus from Alice Springs.
Suzanne and Dominick were our guides, both enthusiastic about what they do and happy to share their wealth of information.
In the beginning of July you need to bring a hat, gloves, and coat, plus layers of additional clothing. It is very cold at night, even in the tents. This is all part of the experience but you won’t be happy if you’re not prepared.
On the second day you should hear the Aboriginal speaker talk about Uluru (this is an option in the tour packages); I would have felt like I missed out had I not done this.
This is not a foodie tour- if you are picky about food you should pack some snacks. There is plenty of food, but it’s for the masses and designed to make you full, not enjoy. Also, if you fly from Sydney to Alice or Ayers you cannot bring fruit with you, and have to throw it away in the airport.
A lot of the other tour buses looked huge and impersonal. This is not what you’ll get on this tour.

This adventure was great, seeing the sun set over Uluru, walking around it as the sun rises,, Kings Canyon and the Olgas were good too, but obviously not as great as Uluru. The guides were tough but fair...you need it when you have to get up at 5 am to see the sun-rise over Uluru. Food could be better perhaps...but you know that it isn't going to be fine dining.

“Wasn't sure what to expect but thrilled”
Travelled 4th June 2019
(5/5)
Brief background: we actually booked a tour with Wayoutback, but three days before our departure--when we were already in Australia--Wayoutback cancelled our tour and booked us on a similar trip with Adventure Tours Australia. We weren't sure what to expect, but Adventure Tours Australia was a blast.
We arrived for the tour into Ayers Rock airport. (Side note: we definitely recommend doing the tour this way rather than beginning in Alice Springs. Otherwise, you'll spend an additional 5 hours in the bus, which will make it seem like your tour was nothing but driving.) We hadn't any contact with Adventure Tours Australia before we arrived, but we were told that they'd pick us up at 2 p.m. Clare (sp?) was very prompt and arrived right on time. After a pit stop at the camp, we spent the afternoon at Kata Tjuta and then watched the sunset at Uluru--along with a tasty champagne, cheese and charcuterie spread. After, we had a really delicious Australian BBQ dinner with plenty of wine before calling it a night and settling in to our permanent tents with beds, linens and pillows. One small complaint was the limited number of sleeping bags available at the camp. Not everyone got one--we did--and it fell to below 0 degrees that night. Even with linens, some people still couldn't get warm. It'd be better to ensure that sleeping bags were included and available to everyone--especially those who are flying in and unable to bring their own sleeping bag with them.
On the second and third days, we did some pretty amazing walks/hikes at Uluru and King's Canyon (be aware of the 4.5-hour drive between the two) and also had the opportunity to participate in an Aboriginal guided tour. This definitely set Adventure Tours Australia apart, because I don't believe that many Outback tours include this component. We spent an hour or so with Charmaine, who told us many interesting stories and shared information on the indigenous community's background and why Uluru was so special to them. It was a great experience to be able to meet her.
Clare was a fantastic guide who went out of her way to ensure we were all having a good time. She was funny, knowledgeable and experienced. And Ron kept us fed and fueled--not an easy task considering all the walking and hiking we did over three days. I'm also impressed because one of us cannot eat onions or peppers, and Ron made sure that there was always a slightly altered dish that accommodated this dietary restriction.
This was a great tour with a friendly, experienced guide and a really fun group.

I did the option of starting the tour in Uluru and then finished it in Alice Springs for a total of 2 nights out in a swag camping. I really loved my time with lots of hiking, watching the sunset of Uluru, the sunrise walk around the base of Uluru was exceptional. Really enjoyed watching the sunset at the Station the second night too.
Betty our guide was excellent - she took her job of telling us more about the Anangu people and culture very seriously and helped us understand the importance of where we were. She also facilitied us all cooking and cleaning together which helped you feel more like a group of friends camping, instead of on a tour. We had a fun time watching the sunset and sitting around the campfire with a couple beers (if you wanted) on the second night. The Canyon Rim walk was also great. Overall highly recommend. If I was to choose again I'd probably choose to do the Uluru pick up and drop off, as it gives you an extra night to do activities and saves you several hours of extra driving!

I had the pleasure to be guided by Lorrie and Tye in this fantastic tour.
The experience was just awesome! Lorrie is a fantastic guide and is super nice, has always lots of fun facts and details for you. Tye was also there and helped making the atmosphere even funnier and nicer.
We had a rather small group of different age and nationality and we could get along extremely well and manage to get the maximum out of the tour.
I joined for just 2 days and 1 night, and could enjoy the Kata Tjuta Walpe gorge walk and the Uluru sunset aperitivo on the first day. The second day was just perfect, roaming around the Uluru base walk and the Anunu cultural centre. I also could experience a night in the traditional swag (thank you Tye)!
In addition, they could leave me directly at the Connellan Airport where I had my flight back to Europe.
Definitely the best tours you can get around there, I wish I could have done the 4 days tour (which was unfortunately already fully booked)

We had an amazing 3 days on the Rock the centre tour from Alice springs!
Ryan was an amazing guide and he made sure everyone was having a great time, including little bonus’ here and there and also providing local knowledge on some of the sights during both the drives and the hikes.
He made sure we were all fed with great meals, and was able to make last minute changes dependant on conditions to ensure the best possible trip.
Be prepared this is more like a scout camp rather than an all inclusive holiday which we enjoyed and it made connecting and befriending all the fellow campers easier and not intimidating.
Expect lots of flies and bugs but that’s part of the experience! And plenty of places to purchase fly nets.
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone from backpackers to solo travellers, we made some great friends and have taken back lots of memories from the trip!

Earlier this month, I went on the 3 Night Uluru Adventure starting and finishing in Yulara. It was a wonderful experience that allowed enough time to explore the main attractions (Uluru, Kings Canyon, Kata Tjuta) along with a spare afternoon/evening for an additional activity of your choice (self organised and funded). If you're interested in the workshops/acitivies around the area I would recommend staying an extra day or so.
This tour is perfect for solo travelers, as it’s easy to make friends along the way.
I slept in a swag, which was a unique and enjoyable experience. Just keep in mind that you won’t get much sleep due to the early starts to catch the sunrise and avoid the heat during hikes. We were fortunate with the weather during this time of year (early October); it was neither too hot nor too cold at night, and there weren’t many flies.
Our tour guide, Renee, was fabulous—energetic, knowledgeable, and passionate about the culture and history of the region. She went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of.
The only pitfall of this tour was some miscommunication regarding daylight saving time, which resulted in incorrect pickup times, lunch arrangements, and a few accommodation issues. Improved communication from the reservations team would definitely enhance the overall experience. Despite this minor setback, the adventure was still incredibly rewarding and exceeded my expectations.

Looking through the Ayers Rock resort options, it all felt a bit too sterile for such a marvelous wonder. I was looking for a trip where I can do the base camp walk, was more in tune with the natural beauty of Uluru, and be able not to worry about booking every part of the trip. This tour hit all three points. Such an amazing time. It was also more reasonable than staying at the resorts. Definitely for the crowd that wants to do more hiking. We had a group of 24 people of 20-60 year olds from solo travelers, to couples and families with adult children. Our tour guide, Libbi, was amazing tour guide extraordinaire. She woke us up with a smile to catch the early sunrise, drove us safely across the outback as we get to check out kings canyon 3 hours away, organized the group to prep and then cooked yummy meals for us, and then led us on hikes while stopping every so often to give us nuggets of facts.
I would definitely recommend this for those looking for a camping alternative. More fun that way!
You can choose between a tent or an outdoor sleeping bag with coverages called a swag. The tent are prebuilt and I found the beds comfy. Warm showers available in communal sections of the camp. Simple but allows you to enjoy the nature more.

Great for solo travellers!

My trip to Uluru/Kata Tjuta/Kings Canyon with Adventure Tours was incredible! I had the most amazing time exploring this beautiful landscape and learning about the Indigenous culture and the rock formations. And in just 3 days we saw so much and it didn’t feel rushed at all.
Our tour guide Hunter was awesome- he was very knowledgeable, made everyone feel comfortable and included and informed, made sure we all remained respectful on our visits to sacred areas, made us laugh (bar the poor dad jokes haha), made great food (chicken curry was a highlight), and just made the trip so much fun. I’m amazed he managed to keep the energy of the whole group up even for those long drives and the 5am morning rises. 10/10

Genuinely the best experience of my life. Unbelievable from start to finish. The tour guide made it for me, Hunter was absolutely phenomenal but rubbish dad jokes ! He’s passionate about his craft and knowledge oozes out of him alongside sarcasm and banter. Didn’t feel like a tour guide , more like a friend. LEGEND.

I had such an amazing time doing the 3 Day Rock the Center Tour, starting in Yulara and ending in Alice springs. Our tour guide (Captain Vegemite was the best. His knowledge about this area and aboriginal history/culture seems to be infinite. At first I was a bit skeptical about sleeping in a swag outside, especially in winter time, but it was so amazing! The sleeping bags kept me warm throughout the night (pro tip: bring a hot water bottle for maximum comfort). You could see many stars and a beautiful full moon.
I would absolutely do it again and recommend it to everyone.

Great tour for people who want to see the main attractions (and plus) in the Red Center, cruising a little differently than most of the tourists.
As a big plus, our group had Troyes, a really enthousiastique, knowledgeable, kind and fun guide. He enjoyed sharing his expertise on the land, geologie and the aboriginal culture, which he knows especially well. Going beyond what one could expect from a guide, he was eager to involve everybody of our multicultural groupe, creating a great experience!

Booked our trip via Lost in Australia. 2 nights, 3 days pick up from Uluru airport and ending in Alice springs. This trip was an amazing experience. It was an adventure with a fantastic group of people and an excellent outback guide -Libbi. We all got a real taste of the “outback”. Reviewing our trip led by Libbi - who worked really hard. She made the trip fun and led it brilliantly. We were constantly kept informed about everything surrounding us and saw lots! Her timing to everything was well planned. Every trip was made at the right time avoiding crowds, avoiding the high heat on the more challenging ways and seeing sunrise and sunset in good time. This trip brought together a group of people who weren’t all known to each other to make it an experience of a lifetime with Libbi leading us all. We all helped to prepare our meals, eat together and clean up and it made the experience even better. Thanks Libbi for making it a memorable trip.

We had the best 4 days with two amazing tour guides - Tye and Abby.
Both were Awesomeeee and very enthusiastic. They were very inclusive and the dad jokes were flowing!!! At the start we were all gullible and fell for the humour but by the end, we made him work extra hard to fool us!!! ;)))). He had super knowledge of the region and there wasn’t any question he couldn’t answer.
Food was super and snacks kept everyone going. I was impressed by the food variety and the effort put into the cooking. Thank you also to hostess with the mostess Antja who cooked us a lovely welcoming dinner and delish pancakes!
I enjoyed the relaxing wake up call music that it is now my morning alarm but not sure it will give the same vibe back in Melbourne!!
Nothing was too much of a task for them!

If you’re lucky enough to have Tye as your adventure tour guide, get ready for an experience you won’t forget! From the moment our 3-night, 4-day trip in Uluru kicked off, Tye made it feel like we were all on an epic adventure with friends, not just a tour group. His knowledge of the area was amazing, but it was his delivery that made it truly special—he had a way of blending fascinating facts with humor that kept everyone entertained and engaged the whole time.
Tye’s approach to the group was spot on. He made sure everyone felt included, always checking in with each person to make sure they were enjoying themselves and having a good time. His energy was contagious, and he had this natural ability to connect with people and make us all feel like we were in the best hands.
And if you’ve got any puns or dad jokes up your sleeve, bring them along! Tye is a master of both and will keep the jokes rolling throughout the trip. It added this great fun vibe to the whole experience, and by the end, we were all in on the joke.
Honestly, Tye made our time in Uluru unforgettable. He was so much more than a guide—he was the reason the trip was so memorable. If you get the chance, don’t miss it!

Our guide, Tye, was fantastic—super knowledgeable about Aboriginal culture and the unique landscapes we traveled through. He kept us engaged with interesting stories and plenty of jokes along the way!
Sleeping in swags under the stars was a highlight— even spotting the Milky Way! The itinerary was well-paced, allowing plenty of time to soak in the stunning scenery, from sunrise at Uluru to the breathtaking views at Kings Canyon. The food was great, and everything was well-organized, making for a stress-free and enjoyable trip.

We have just finished our Uluru adventure and it was the best four days! The tour was incredible and we were able to see so much of the outback in spite of the hot temperatures (all of the walks were planned meticulously and with consideration of the heat - prepare yourself for some early mornings). The camping experience itself was so fun and we really enjoyed camp life with our group it was great. We had paid to stay in the tents which we did for two nights but on the third night decided sleep outside under the stars and we are so glad that we did! Would thoroughly recommend for anyone considering this trip.
Last but not least, our tour guide Ryan was absolutely fantastic! The best tour guide ever! He made our experience of Uluru and we are so grateful to him. He was the perfect mixture of enthusiastic, fun, knowledgable and made sure we fulfilled our itinerary without feeling like we were being kept to a schedule (which is tricky to do when you are fitting a lot in). Anyone who experiences this without Ryan as their tour guide is missing out (sorry not sorry!)!

Absolutely loved our time with Ryan on our tour!! We had never done overnight tours like this before but we really bonded with everyone in our group. Ryan was really knowledgeable and friendly, the meals were great and all the activities were well timed. He seriously worked so hard during the whole tour to make it the best for us. Most of the walking is done in the mornings so you avoid the heat and you get plenty of time to do them so you’re not pressured to walk fast. Sleeping in a swag is fun and actually quite comfy once you get settled. The views of the stars make up for thinking about whether or not you’re sat on an ant hill. Showers and toilets at the Yulara camp were clean, plenty of them too. The driving was pretty well broken up, plenty of toilet breaks and not in the bus for too long at a time.
My only feedback would be to make it clear on the website to say that you don’t need to bring water bottles with you as you can buy them at service stations on the tour (you must have 3L capacity each for the walks). We bought quite expensive water bottles before and then realised we had to buy more there anyway. And on the website it doesn’t mention that you might want to bring a swimsuit as there are opportunities for swimming (depending on timing).
Highly recommend doing this tour, once in a lifetime experience for us! Great views of Uluru, Kata Tjuṯa and Kings Canyon that I’ll never forget. Thank you Ryan for a great time!

It was a great experience helped massively by Tye the tour guide who not only was friendly and funny, but also very knowledgeable about the area and had an answer for every single question we had. The camping was pretty basic which added to the experience in a way for me - although I was one of the lucky ones who got a tent rather than a sleeping bag outside. The temperature was very hot this time of year with some people really struggling but Tye made sure to bring some to the medical centre. I would recommend flying into Ayres rock airport rather than Alice springs to avoid a 4+ hour bus journey - ayres rock airport is right beside everything.
