Bookings can still be made right up until the departure date of the tour if seats are available.

Who travels with us
What type of groups go on these tours?
Onboard our tours there are usually around 5 - 24 people ( depending on the tour and destination ). Lost In Australia's travellers want to explore the country and develop a real sense for the land, nature and its people. We travel in small groups which allows us to get from destination to destination quickly and effortlessly whilst being flexible and free!

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.

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.

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.

Reviews
“Absolute legend”
We really enjoyed our experience with Mulgas Adventures. Our tour guide Tim was an absolute legend from start to finish! Would definitely recommend this tour.
“Excellent”
Spectacular scenery, action packed, Excellent guide (Nicol), knowledgeable, resourceful, friendly, funny. Loved sleeping under the stars, good food, great group of people.
“Wow!”
Uluru is magical in a way that cannot be explained and just seen. We had Rachel as our tour guide who showed us with great affection and legendary stories pieces of this place that are kept in our hearts! The group that took part in the tour was incredible and diverse, which made the adventure even more exciting!
I highly recommend the camping and hiking experience and I will do it again in the future (hopefully SOON).
“Big ref rock”
Just finished a quality trip with Mulgas adventures. Our guide James Duffy aka the duff man was awesome. Super knowledgeable and always up for up for a laugh. The activities are suitable for all ages if you can walk in the heat. Would definitely recommend to a friend.
“Excellent!”
We had the best time! The trip really builds and the sites are breathtaking, especially the sunrise walk at Watarrka. Our guide, James ‘Duffman’ Duffy was amazing. Very knowledgeable, warm, energetic and regaled us all with awesome chats, fun facts and stories at each site and on the bus rides in-between. We were always well fed (as vegetarians) and the outdoor camping experience was nothing short of authentic. Would highly recommend to anyone willing to brave the heat (of the bus), it is truly worth it! Thanks for having us!
*** If you’re interested in purchasing pieces from Anangu artists be sure to take cash with you! There are several artists at the sites who are selling their beautiful works, and opportunities for ATMs are few and far between on the way there.

“Highly recommend him and Mulga Adventures.”
Hubbie and I had an unforgettable visit to Kings Canyon and Uluṟu and sleeps under the stars and full moon. It was made more special due to the excellent guide Ben. Capable, knowledgeable, entertaining, enthusiastic, caring, flexible - we were in good hands with a group of 13. He had to readjust the schedule when a flight cancellation affected some. He looked after the slow and the sick. We felt safe. No request was too much.
“We've had absolutely amazing trip with Mulgas Adventures!”
Our guide Adam went above and beyond to make us happy, well fed, hydrated and informed. We've had delicious food, something new for every meal. Lots of stories on the way while hiking and on the bus.
Everyone in the group was friendly and took care of each other. Helping with cooking and cleaning added more fun.
I personally fell in love with the Red Centre and sleeping in a swag, even flies couldn't spoil the impression!
Huge thanks to Adz and Mulgas team for such experience!
“Omar Carpenter”
Not only was the destination something that I hadn't experienced before but our guide Ben was such an amazing person. Ben is extremely knowledgeable and went out of his way to accommodate everyone, from the slightly younger to the slightly older. Nothing was too much of a hassle. He also knows how to cook up a storm. Thanks Ben and Mulgas Adventures. #WTFisamulgas #daddydaughteradventures
“Exceptional.”
Cannot fault this trip.
Laura was an exceptional guide - informative, knowledgeable and bubbly, with a great sense of humour as well as being an exceptional cook (the 4.30am pancakes and damper cooked over on hot coals in the fire - sublime), singer (campfire serenades underneath the stars) and perhaps most importantly, she kept a cool head in any situation which was thrown at her.
My friend and I had been looking forward to this trip for months, and it exceeded our expectations tenfold - we even loved sleeping in swags! Everything was meticulously planned and organised.
We loved:
- Champagne and snacks while watching the sun set over Uluru.
- Watching the sun rise over King's Canyon
- The lovely little touches such as the goody bags handed out at the end of the trip!
We finished the trip this morning and I am already recommending it to friends - thank you Mulgas and particularly Laura, for making our 4 days so memorable.
One tiny bit of feedback - it would be useful to keep traction boards in the bus for getting out of sand bogs!
“Thank you Laura!”
Had the best tour with Mulgas! Our guide Laura was incredibly knowledgeable and had an amazing sense of humour - even when flight delays and bogged buses threw a spanner in the works. The trip is really well organised and we always got to the best spots before the other tour groups. We were always well fed and looked after and as a solo backpacker I loved the group-participation feel of the tour…
“Have already recommended this tour to everyone I have spoken”
A must do tour for those wanting to visit this beautiful area in Australia without the trappings of a hotel. Sleeping in a swag under the stars, preparing lunches/dinners with a group of like minded travelers, learning more about the culture and customs of the local Aboriginal language groups, this tour feels like the NT done right.
An excellent compromise for those who want a more authentic experience without the burdens of organizing transportation and campsite booking.
Our guide, Adam, was excellent; his enthusiasm for the area, and for guiding, was apparent and infectious. He was knowledgeable and approachable, always willing to share knowledge and anecdotes, while also ensuring we understood the dangers apparent in the area.
“Amazing experience”
Uluru and Kings Canyon was one of the best trips I have ever done and I am so happy I booked with Mulga’s. Everything was such a fun and informative experience and so well organised but no fuss. It was made all the more amazing by the best tour guide I’ve ever come across, Rachel is an absolute legend! Thank you so much for the amazing experience, best Spotify playlists and making me feel so special on my birthday.
“One of the most amazing trips that I have ever been to. ”
Thanks Adz for making this an amazing trip. There wasn't any moment which I can imagine was boring. Will definitely do it next time.
Uluru has won my heart and it wouldn't be possible without Mulgas, especially not without Adam. Love from Sydney.

“When everything runs like clockwork 10/10”
If Ben could do all my tours, I’d die a happy man. This trip was incredible. We all had an amazing time. Food a plenty, information about the land, activities and indigenous lore was at the ready. I went up front to ask a question and ended up staying in the front seat for four days like Ben’s assistant. Wonderful trip. Highly recommend. Especially if you like a bit of humour with your bush tucker.
Thanks Bennyboy, be well.
“4 day Rock to Rock tour”
Would highly recommend this fantastic outback adventure for families - our tour guide Laura was enthusiastic, knowledgeable & organised. First experience of sleeping in swags under the stars, campfire songs & guided hikes inc Uluru, Kings Canyon & Kata Juta with unforgettable red desert sunrises & sunsets..
“Ben was AMAZING! ”
Just back from the 4 night camp trip and has the best time! Our tour guide He had great knowledge of the local culture and history and made the trip fun with his humour and well thought out song choices! I would definitely recommend to book with this company, it was the trip of a lifetime made even better by Ben & mulga adventures
“Thank you for all the fun and care, Ben!”
The trip was much harder than me and my friends expected because unfortunately we went to Uluru in the warmest week of the year! In March normally is not too hot in there but we didn’t get lucky. It was so hot and so many flies, but well.. we can’t control the weather.
Although Ben made our trip! His energy is unique. He is so fun and did everything to make sure everyone in the tour was having a good time.
“What an amazing trip! ”
Our tour guide Ben was the most amazing, funny and knowledgeable guide you could wish for. Great stories, especially all the love stories! The trip had a good pace with enough stops during long drives. There was never a dull moment. Awesome food, perfect spots for campfires and sleep. Gorgeous sunrises & sunsets, beautiful hikes and outlooks. I highly recommend booking your red centre tour with Mulgas. Definitely one of the best Australia experiences I've had so far!
“Thanks again!”
We had the most amazing time on the 4 day/3 night tour rock to rock tour! Expect iconic scenery ,some early rises for that epic insta shot and just enough cultural and geographical info to keep you on your toes. Massive shout out to Rachael who, as our guide, went above and beyond to get us to the dr at short notice and still manage to swing by the airport to collect a missing bag too! Her passion for the outback is infectious.
“Very well done! Thank you!”
The Rock to Rock tour with our guide Laura was amazing. The camping tour includes all the highlights (Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon) and Laura is wonderful. Super organized, making sure that we arrive early enough to all the highlight, very fun and knowledgeable. She gave many interesting historical and geological facts and information on the aboriginal communities, beliefs and lives.
I would highly recommend this tour and outdoor camping, including campfire and good food is an experience!
“Excellent!”
Fantastically organized and timed tour, great food (plenty of it), heaps of great information about the local environment. Amazing places to camp and organized events, like sunrise/sets. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Ben was amazing, he was kind, and generous and made everyone feel apart of the adventure and so well organized.
I cannot recommend this tour enough if you want a authentic feel of this magical place.
“This tour was absolutely incredible!”
Our guide Ben was definitely the best I've ever seen. I've never seen someone work so hard and still have enough energy to deal with our rowdy crew. We saw sunrises and sunsets over uluru, walked through beautiful landscapes, ate some seriously good food, and laughed the whole time. I can't overstate how good Ben was at bringing together strangers and tailoring the trip for all of us. He was authentic, fun, and he really knew his stuff!
I really can't recommend this tour highly enough. I'll remember it for a long time. Thanks Mulgas!
“Going in with very little…”
Going in with very little camping experience, I wasn't sure what to expect, but every moment was incredible on our 4-day Uluru tour - from sleeping under the stars to hiking around Kings Canyon to cooking up dinner with the group, even the bus rides were made fun with Jason's marvelous sense of humour. Big thanks to Jason, Mulgas and everyone in the tour group for making this an unforgettable experience.
“Love!”

“just finished the 4 day rock to rock tour.”
Our tour was a mix of mid twenty year olds to late thirty year olds and a mix of nationalities.
Our guide Laura was amazing. She has an approachable, kind personality and was able to quickly bring a group of 21 people together. Laura made sure we were always on time and ahead of any other tour groups at the sites. She looked after everyone, made sure that we were all safe and happy. She catered for all different dietary requirements from gluten free to dairy free.
I’m amazed how much energy Laura had after driving, guiding, cooking and answering all of our questions for four days! Especially loved that she organised games to play and activities to get to know each other. She really went above and beyond. Her passion for her role shines through and she is an asset to any tour company.
The websites itinerary is a bit vague so for those going in future, this is briefly how it worked:
Day 1: Laura picked those flying into Uluṟu up and started us on the Uluṟu base walk. A few of us were on a later flight which was delayed so she dropped us slightly further into the walk which was perfect. We then saw the sunset over Uluṟu with some champagne.
Day 2: We woke up at 4:30am and watched the sun rise over Uluṟu. Then we hiked Kata Tjuta. This was more challenging than expected with some steep inclines and unstable ground with a rocky surface. Recommend sturdy shoes.
Day 3: We woke up at 4:30am to hike the Grand Canyon. There are options if you’re not up to the 500 stairs and 9km main hike but most of us were able to do it. This night the campground has no showers, so it’s very much a bush camping experience!
Day 4: We slept into about 6am and returned to use the (cold) showers near Uluṟu before going to the airport.
Tips:
- Book direct. I noticed a third party website had advertised dates that were listed as being full as on Mulgas website. I confirmed this with Mulgas and understand the third party website had incorrect booking information.
- You must have 2L of water, minimum (this may change depending on the season). The guide checks this before you get off the bus to make sure you don’t become dehydrated through the days.
- It gets surprisingly cold on the walks as you start around dawn. I had hiking pants that zipped off to shorts which were perfect for the change in temperature over the day.
- Travel neck pillows make great sleeping pillows.
- Small carry on size suitcases or sports bags are best. The trailer doesn’t have much room and you don’t need much so don’t bring a massive suitcase.
- You don’t have to be an international tourist to enjoy the tour. About a quarter of our tour was Australian and we all loved it.
“What an incredible adventure!”
I participated in a 4 day tour going to Uluṟu, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon!
We saw so many beautiful views, amazing animals and experienced Central Australia in all its glory!
Laura is an incredible tour guide - she brought everyone on the trip together and made the experience so special.
The will be the best value for money tour you will do in the NT!
“What an amazing trip! ”
We did the 4 day camping trip, and it turned out to be the memorable and magical trip of a life time. Our guide Ben did a beyond excellent job of working hard keeping it running seamlessly, making us laugh, and informing us of local culture. This area of Australia is really really special, and you have to experience it for yourself, can't recommend more highly! The food was actually really good too, being a vegetarian I had low expectations, but my expectations were well surpassed!
“Best guided tour”
I did the 4 day Rock to Rock tour and it really was the best guided tour I ever did. Thanks to our excellent guide Ben. It was a magical trip, I will never forget it and would always do it again!! :)
“This was an adventure, that’s for sure!”
Got to see an incredible amount of our country and it was an absolute dream!!
Incredible Sunrises and Sunsets! Magical Vistas! Phenomenal Stars and equally phenomenal company!
I don’t think we could have had as incredible a time with any other tour company, nor with any other tour guide such that is Ben.
His knowledge of the land it’s stories was impressive. And his personable and jovial demeanour really topped off our experience.
Would not have been the same adventure without him.
“A great adventure in the outback”
We had a great time traveling with Nicole and the group. If you're looking for an adventure with gorgeous scenery and meeting new people then this tour is for you!

I did the 4 day camping trip as a solo traveler from Europe! It was by far the best experience I‘ve had. Not only do you get to see the incredible nature away from tourists, our tourguide Ben was so knowledgeable, funny and made everyone feel welcome through his enthusiasm and warm hearted nature! He really makes sure you have a good time and the other people on the trip were lovely as well. You get to sleep under the stars and hike around in beautiful scenery! I would strongly recommend this for everyone who wants to experience nature and great company:)
“Ciaran Dyer”
I recently did the 3 day/night camp/hike tour with Mulgas Adventures and I can say that this is one adventure camp tour i will never forget. Right from getting off the plane to the last day was just an awesome experience right through.
Our camp group had Laura as our tour guide and she is bloody fantastic she's knowledgeable, practical, funny and an amazing cook aswell and just a real good sort she can do it all!!
From Uluru to Kata-Tjuta and Kings Canyon-Watarrka Laura ensured we got to see and experience the natural beauty of these wonderful sites and was able to educate us about the history along the way. She ensured we stayed ahead of other tour companies operating at the same time.
This tour camp is also a great way to meet people make friends etc and by the end of it with most coming from different backgrounds/nationalities we all got on like a house on fire in the end.
You will also experience real camping from sleeping near bonfires in swags open air under the stars it was just magical.
Thanks to Laura and the owners of Mulgas for such an unforgettable tour and camp experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a real authentic camping, hiking tour adventure! A+++
“4 Day rock to rock tour”
We had an amazing experience on this tour, we had Laura as our tour guide and she took care of everything for us, food, music and humour as well.
Was great fun and would recommend it to anyone who loves camping on a tour, seeing the stars, sunrises and great hiking experiences.
“An unforgettable experience ! Absolutely amazing !!!”
I did the Rock to Rock 4 day 3 night camping tour with Mulgas and it was one of the best experience of my life! Our guide, Laura, showed dedication and passion throughout the entire trip. She was not only very knowledgeable but also very funny ! She made us feel safe by explaining us what to do and what not to do in an environment like the Australian outback. Laura also gave us excellent information about the geology of the place and the Aboriginal culture and legends. She was extremely organised and, thanks to this, we were able to be the first ones to arrive for sunsets and sunrises, and get the best pictures (with the perfect light and no other people on it). Last but not least, she was always adding a touch of fun and humour in order to wake up the hidden child in each one of us! I absolutely loved sleeping in swags (first time for me), I couldn't stop looking at the majestic sky (you could see the milky way along with many shooting stars). I finished this adventure with 21 new friends and my head full of unforgettable memories. I highly recommend Mulgas, I highly recommend bush camping in order to get the best of this unique place. Thank you Laura, thank you Mulgas !
“Best camping tour”
We just finished our 4 day Rock to Rock tour with Mulgas. Our guide, cook, driver, Adam absolutely made our trip better than we could have hoped for! The sights, insights, stories, rustic campsites, food and company were all amazing. We highly recommend this tour
“Laura the legend”
My friends and I had an amazing time with Laura on this tour! I learnt so much, met great people and enjoyed the amazing venues we explored. Laura has non-stop energy, lots of knowledge and makes sure everyone has a fabulous time. I'm not sure how she wrangled 24 of us around for four days! We also got a trip back to Alice with Laura which was heaps of fun. Such a great experience!
“Awesome tour”
Ewel was an awesome guide! Super funny and had a huge knowledge about the culture and environment! The 4-day tour was definitely a highlight of my Australia travels!!
“The best outback adventure”
I went on the 4-day camping tour and it was for sure my favourite experience throughout all of my Australian travels. We did 3 beautiful hikes led by our fantastic guide Ewel, who not only shared so much knowledge with us, but also kept us entertained, hydrated, and fuelled with snacks the entire trip. The tour was very well run, and we got to visit Uluru, Kata Tjuta, and Kings Canyon which were all stunning hikes. Camping in the swags under the stars, around a campfire was a fun experience, and we were well-fed and kept entertained at the camps by our guide Ewel, with delicious food and fun games and activities. I would highly recommend this tour.
“We had a fantastic time with Mulgas Adventures on the 4-day tour”
Our guide Ewel was very experienced, patient, extremely knowledgeable and fun! One group member required medical attention and Ewel organized help swiftly and efficiently. The tour was very well planned and adjusted to the hot temperatures (i.e. early morning hikes, lunch back at camp, rest/bus rides during afternoon with plenty of refreshments). We learned a lot about aboriginal culture and the biodiversity of the area. The camp food was tasty (vegetarian options available) and sleeping under the stars in swags around the camp fire was a great experience! P.S. Bring a fly net for the day and mosquito spray for the night.

“You won’t regret it!”
This trip was probably the best thing I’ve done in Australia. We had a group of 21 of us and had the best 4 days and learnt so much from our guide Adam who is a credit to Mulgas. Although you pack lots into the 4 days/3 nights, the whole trip was well organised and spaced out to ensure we had adequate time to enjoy the sights and ‘relax time’. We loved the swags, sleeping outside and the camp fires and Adams story time. The food was nice considering we were camping and plentiful and they catered to our dietary requests (vegan) and ensured everything we had was suitable. The scenery, the hikes, the people we met, the learnings… absolutely fantastic. Well worth the money! If you’re considering it, book it! It truly is a once in a lifetime experience.
“Big recommandation!”
We (21 random people) spent 4 days in the australian outback. It was never boring, every day was fully planned. Our tourguide ewel teached us every day new things. He seemed to be a very experiend person. The landscape is stunning and we had a lot of fun together with bonfire evenings.
“I loved every Minute of it!!!”
Such a fantastic trip to Uluṟu, Kata Tjuṯa and Kings Canyon with our guide Rachel. The entire trip was so well planned out and it was extremely good value for money. Rachel was an amazing guide and always ensured client safety and security…it was like travelling with a very organised, knowledgeable friend who also knows how to have a great time.
I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking in to it. The food is fantastic all dietary requirements are catered for and everyone pitches in and helps out when it comes to preparation, cooking, and of course clean up.
To experience sleeping under the stars in a swag was so fun, the swags were incredibly good quality and comfy. There are some long stretches of driving but it’s the perfect time to catch up on sleep as you are up super early to catch the sunrise, and nights can be as late as you want them to be depending on if your group has a few drinks or there might be a campfire.
I think Mulgas go above and beyond to ensure we see and experience all of what the 3 night 4 day tour has to offer. I really hope I can come back and do it all again soon! Thank you so much Mulgas and Rachel for the best 4 days in the outback and the best birthday I think I will ever have!!!
“It was one of the best tours!”
I was honestly so surprised of how much experience you get, for your money. You get to sleep under the stars and the view is amazing! It’s also not too crowded, cause the tour looks after the time and tries to time it right. Also the hikes were totally okay even though it was 41 degrees, cause we were doing it in the morning when the sun wasn’t quite up yet.
I would totally recommend it!
Also, the tour guide Ewel made it a lovely and exciting experience!
“Jeremy Acevedo”
I did the 4 day Rock to Rock tour and it was great! I loved getting background information about the amazing nature and culture of central australia and we also had a lot of fun with our amazing tour-guide Rachel ;)
“Really recommend it!”
Did the 4 day tour and it was AMAZING! Our tour guide Ewel was very helpful and nice and told us a lot about the culture and nature.
“Amazing tour”
Did the 4 day tour and it was AMAZING! Our tour guide Ewel was very helpful and nice and told us a lot about the culture and nature. Really recommend it!
“Amazing 4-day trip”
Thank you Lauren (our guide)! You made this 4-day trip an amazing adventure in the outback.
I am so happy we did this trip with Mulgas. Highly highly recommended if you want an easy-going, well planned adventure in the outback :)
“Unforgettable trip”
Absolutely fantastic tour. Both seeing these fantastic beauties of nature, and enjoying the starnight while sleeping in the swag, made this an unforgettable trip. We also had Lauren as our guide, and she was definitely a big part of what made it as memorable and fun as it was. I would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to see Uluru, Kata tjuta and kings canyon.
“Stunningly beautiful and fun”
I definitely recommend doing the tour with Mulgas Adventure. The organisation is really well done and the rangers are not only competent, but super reassuring, knowlegeable and real fun! A big shout out to Rachel, our ranger, who made the trip super enjoyable. The nature is fantatstic, and sleeping under the stars surprisingly easy and a hundred percent worth the experience.
“You won’t regret it!”
We had a really nice 4-day trip with Rachel, well organized, interesting facts and stories, I recommand it ! Fantastic sunrises and sunsets, breathtaking views and lookout. Sleeping under the stars in a swag was a fun experience, you have to try.
I advise to bring or hire a sleeping bag, because nights can be quite cold, and sometimes the swag is not enough.
“An amazing experience”
We did the 4 day tour and absolutely loved it! The sunsets and sunrises were gorgeous, and the hikes were also a highlight. Sleeping under the stars was definitely an experience and the campfire on the last day just ended the trip so beautifully. Thank you Liv for being an awesome guide, you brought great energy, were respectful to the land and shared so many learnings. Thank you!!
“Can’t recommend enough!!”
Had the best time hiking around the outback and sleeping under the stars. Liv our tour guide was fantastic & so friendly and knowledgeable making it the best possible experience! The sunrise views were incredible and there was always plenty of food.
“Great outback and camping experience”
My two friends and I did the four day rock-to-rock tour with our guide Phil. It was amazing and the best tour I have done in Australia so far. All the hikes and activities are incredible and you get to learn a lot about the culture and the landscape.
The food was great. A good choice of meals, fresh vegetables and lots of snacks. Changing campsite every night and being able to sleep under the stars was an unforgettable experience.
Phil was an amazing guide who was organized and always had an answer to your question. He was very helpful and made everyone feel safe.
The tour definitely was one of my highlights during my travels which I will never forget. I would highly recommend this tour and would do it again myself.
“Great Outback Experience”
Amazing 4-Day Tour with Mulgas Adventures. Thanks to our Guide Olivia who made it even more spectacular with interesting insights about the Outback, 100% recommend.
“One of the best tours in Australia”
This was one of our best tours in Australia (considering that we have made almost 10 tours through Australia)!! I highly recommend Muglas 4-day rock to rock tour! The hikes and the nights under the stars were incredible and we couldn’t ask for a better tour guide - Lauren made everything even more incredible, with all her knowledge and her kindness, friendship, and generosity. This is an experience that I will never forget!
“Wonderful tour guide”
Probably the best tour in Australia! I loved every second of it - the views, the people, the wonderful tour guide Lauren, the food, the bush wees,... did I mentiond Lauren? She made sure we all had a great time, is super hard-working and never failed to make us laugh and less scared of sleeping in the bush. Her encouragement to do bush wees is incredible, too. I wish she could show me all around Oz, not only the Outback
“Great 4 days in the red centre”
I have been traveling around Australia and this tour has been by far one of my favorite things I have done! The guide was excellent and took us to amazing locations while also educating us on the significance of the sites to the aboriginal people who lived there. The group all got along well and everyone contributed in cooking, cleaning, etc. which gave the tour a honey and interactive atmosphere. The food was also amazing! Cannot recommend this tour enough for someone wanting to experience the outback.
“Best experience ever”
The best tour ever in Australia!!!! Lauren was the best tour guide ever!!!! I loved everything we did and the food was amazing too. I can recommend to do that tour to everyone who is looking for a really good experience in the outback. If you can call them and ask if you can get on one of the last tours of Lauren because she is unique and it was sooooo much fun with her!!!! Thank you Lauren for my best birthday ever!!
“Excellent!”
Great way to experience Uluru and the red center! You fit so much into 4 days. Phil was a great guide and worked so hard through out and was informative.
“Best experience ever”
Loved this tour - feel like I learned so much as well as getting to visit some beautiful places. It was my first time camping in the bush which I was a little apprehensive about but it turned out to be an amazing experience. Special thanks to Liv for being so knowledgeable - you taught me so much! Not to mention all the organising/driving/cooking for us all. You are amazing!
“Would highly recommend!”
Brilliant tour! Lauren and Alex were both fantastic - really knowledgeable, fun and took the time to explain exactly what we'd be doing and answer any questions. Food was very good too.
“Great time ”
We had a great time during the 4-day tour. Our guide Rachel was very passionate, informative and funny. The tour was very well organised. We definitely recommend the experience!
“100% authentic experience”
The Mulgas trip was the quintessential Aussie outback experience! If you're looking for a tour with hikes and camping this is the option for you. Our guide Phil was super friendly and had a wealth of knowledge which made our tour all the more enjoyable. He delivered information and instructions accurately and fielded our questions at any time with ease.
“So much fun - highly recommended”
We had the best time on the Mulgas 4 day camping tour. Phil was fantastic- he was super organised, knowledgeable and made the whole experience so amazing. With 20 in the group ranging in ages and from a number of different countries, it was engaging and so much fun! The activities were challenging and fun, with so much learnt! Highly recommended- thanks Phil for making some wonderful memories for us!
“Kareem S”
This tour exceeded my expectations. Alex was the consummate tour guide and our tour made up of the perfect guests. We had an authentic ‘under the stars’ experience and visits to all the expected tourist spots, punctuated with incredible meals, snacks and general provisions. And a bonus…. Because we booked directly with Mulga, we got a t-shirt which made us the envy of the tour. We LOVE Mulga Adventures. Thanks Alex and the team behind Mulga!
“Simply amazing”
It was simply amazing! The hikes were beautiful and camping in the bush was such a nice experience. Our tour guide Phil was awesome and did everything to make sure we had a good time. One of my highlights in Australia, would definitely recommend it!
“A big call out to Alex our guide. ”
A big call out to Alex our guide. We took a 4 day 3 night tour of Uluru, The Olgas and Kings Canyon. It was an authentic adventure and for an old fart like me, the walking each day was very easy. Alex was driver, cook, guide and should have his own Wikipedia page with his vast knowledge of the places we visited. We were very well fed and our camp amenities were more then adequate. Sleeping under the stars in a swag exceeded my expectations.
Mulgas Adventures were very respectful of the Aboriginal culture in each place we visited which we appreciated.
This was a great experience and I recommend this to anyone wanting to see the red centre of Australia.
“Would highly recommend.”
This was an amazing trip to the red centre that was so much fun from start to finish. Rachel was a brilliant and knowledgable guide and helped the group to gel so well. All of the sights were fantastic to explore and learn about and there were amazing views, sunrises and sunsets. The bush camp was a real highlight, cooking on the campfire and sleeping under the stars. Tom and Sarah.
“Amazing Trip”
Great experience with our wonderful guide, Olivia. Experiencing the famous landmarks and sleeping under the stars. Authentic experience that I’ll always remember.
“Thank you!!!”
Definitely recommend this tour! Had a fantastic experience sleeping under the stars, Uluru at sunset/sunrise and stunning hikes! Hiked Uluru, Kata Tjuṯan and Kings Canyon. Lovely food and people, with a special shout-out to our tour guide Liv who made the trip so educational and fun.
“Highly recommend!”
Really great tour, the 3 main locations are amazing and the hikes are beautiful, pickup from Alice springs was super handy with travelling on the greyhound too, Rachel was a great tour guide super friendly lots of knowledge about culture, geology and plants that was great to have in addition to the amazing views, the camping is a great aussie experience with BBQ’s and campfires and lots of opportunities to be social with good food and drinks.
“Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone”
Without a doubt, the best thing I have done in Australia! Sleeping under the stars, watching sunrise/sunset over Uluru, eating dinner around the camp fire - truly hard to pick a favourite moment! Really impressed with how well organised and informative the tour was - we were picked up at 6am from our Hostel in Alice Springs and dropped back there once the tour ended whereas others flew in and out of Ayers Rock airport. Rachel, our guide, was fantastic and her passion for the area, fun attitude (and great playlists!) made our experience really memorable. .
“We’ve just returned from an amazing tour with Phil!”
Couldn’t have asked for a better guide, really friendly, knowledgeable about all of the places we visited and he couldn’t have gone to more trouble to ensure we had the best time. (Including stopping the bus in the middle of nowhere to find a Thorny Devil for Chris -definitely made his day
Would definitely say this is a must do when visiting Australia! An amazing experience from start to finish. Thanks so much
“Thanks Phil for the excellent guiding of this tour!”
A really unique experience! Hiking through this special landscape, eating dinner at a campfire, sleeping under the stars, this was one of the best organised trips I have done so far!
“It was an immersive…”
It was an immersive experience, where everyone got involved with cooking cleaning and collecting firewood. The views were stunning and the trip was planned very well, everything ran to schedule. Our flight in was delayed, so we missed the base walk around Uluru on the first day, but our tour guide Olivia was great and made time for us to do the base walk on the last day. I made some life long friends and definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a bit of an adventure. Our tour guide Olivia was fantastic! She played some great music and shared some interesting facts and stories about the local area with us.
“Amazing tour”
I had a great experience on my tour and met some amazing people!
Everything was well organised and the hikes were beautiful.
Big thanks to our amazing tour guide Alex and the trainees Courtney and Rachel who made the experience fun and memorable. :)
“Amazing!!!”
This tour is a mustdo. Alex, Rachel and Courtney are the best guides. Genuinely well known with the aboriginal culture.
Sleep under the stars around the bonfire. See the best sights and do the best hikes!
“We’ll never forget these 4 days”
One of the best adventure we’ve had in Australia so far. Great tour, great experience, great team. Even if we had to get up very early in the morning to avoid the summer heat, EVERYTHING was worth it and amazing. The biggest thank you goes to Laura: a super guide. You can feel her passion through all the things that she does and makes the tour special.
“unforgettable”
it was an once in a lifetime experience. we had a lot of fun with alex and his trainees rachel & courtney. we recommend that trip to everyone who wants to get to know the outback and have unforgettable adventures (and sunrises/sunsets!). Also we learned a lot about the aboriginal culture. thank you.
“Absolutely recommended!”
Incredible adventure (4 days) for those who wish to visit Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon area. We had an amazing group and more amazing guide, Laura. She’s very experienced and well organized in order to get us at the best time for everything (sunrises, hikes, sunsets, pool time)! The trip would not have been the same without her.
Awesome places!
“Encredible!”
Honestly one of the best things I've experienced in my life. Everything was well organised and the tourguides Alex, Courtney and Rachel made sure everything went smoothly. Learned a lot, met loads of great people and had heaps of fun. Definitely the best way to experience Uluru, Kata Tjuta and King's Canyon for a very good price I would say!
“Amazing experience”
We had an amazing experience in the outback: sleeping under the stars, cooking on the camp fire, stunning sunrises and sunsets. A special thank you to Laura, who is an excellent guide. She has so much knowledge to share and so many storys to tell. She knows how to bring fun and motivation even in difficult moments (getting up at 3 am and coping with the heat)
I am 55 years old, I was OK and would absolutely recommend the tour. But Mulgas Adventures does right to check with “older travellers” that they are physically in shape.
“I’ve just come back from the 4 day rock to rock tour and pining ”
I’ve just come back from the 4 day rock to rock tour and pining to go back to camp already! This tour is an absolute must if you’re thinking about exploring the beautiful red centre - all transport, food, tours and sleeping arrangements sorted for you and if you’re lucky enough to have Alex as your tour guide, you’ll have a ball! He’s somewhat of a legend! Thanks for an amazing trip!
“You won’t regret it!”
A great tour I will remember for my life. It was all well organised, Alex our wonderful guide was a great cook, too.
“Exciting camping tour”
It was the best tour amongst I've ever experienced in Australia.
Thanks to the Laura and the other tour guides for the all events; Morning hiking, Camp fire with a guitar, swimming in the pool and the etc.
“One of the best tours”
The tour was definitely one of my Highlights so far! Thanks to Laura, CJ and Rachel for this amazing tour. You showed us the greatest places, have been super organised and you took care of us. Sleeping under the stars, bush camp, the hikes etc. were such an amazing experience!
“Outback experience”
The hiking trails are so gorgeous! I enjoyed the whole trip and loved the nights under the stars. Big thanks to Laura for those amazing days!
“The best guide in the Outback I have ever had.”
Our amazingly motivated guide Laura took us to the Uluru, the Outback and the bush camp. She was very kind, funny, helpful and always friendly also during harsh conditions (43 degrees!). She knows a lot about the Outback, animals, plants, the First Nation‘s culture. She even made bread for us on the fire. It was an unforgettable experience and I can definitely recommend her!
Next time I will go on a tour with her for sure but not at 43 degrees. My recommendation is to check the temperature and select the date wisely. It is definitely an adventure and for those who do not like camping I would recommend to just book Laura as a guide.
“If you want to experience the best, come here”
It was hard, but everything was perfect. It was the best experience of my life and I was happy every moment. Laura has always guide for our health and safety. Thank you very much. I hope to be with Laura again someday on this tour.
“I would highly recommend this tour, this company and this gu”
I did the 4 days tour (Uluru, Kata Tjuta and kings canyon) with Mulgas adventure while traveling solo.
I had a really amazing experience despite the scorching heat!
The group was made up of 20 people with a wide variety of nationalities but I think we all shared the same enthousiasm and sense of adventure which made it very pleasant to discover each other. Everyone was helping during the tour and looking after one another.
Sacred sites and scenery were really amazing to discover, definitely worth your time !
Finally, I would like to really thank pour guide : Laura.
She was our, guide, mechanic, cook, emergency first responder, driver, etc and she did a fantastic job. We always had descriptions of the site we were visiting, we always got to photo spots before everyone else, food was great, organisation was on spot, she was truly authentic and most importantly she made it all work together and that the kind of thing that makes the experience from good to amazing! So really a big thanks to her!
“Unforgettable Outback experience!”
Despite the heat and flies it was a really great experience! We had a super fun group and our guide Laura was truly a legend! In addition to her good humor, she also made sure that we lacked nothing. I would definitely recommend the tour if you want to discover the Outback in an unforgettable way in a short time!
“Would highly recommend.”
I did the 4-day 3-night tour with Mulgas and it was fantastic. Such a well organised trip, amazing hikes, beautiful scenery and a unique experience of sleeping under the stars. Laura was our guide and was just brilliant. So knowledgable, made us all feel very safe and such good fun. I’m hoping all tour guides on my upcoming trips are as good as she!
“Best uluru tour in Australia!!”
I went on the 4-day uluru tour with mulgas, and it was absolutely amazing! The tour guides, Rachel and Alex made the whole experience extraordinary! The food was amazing, and even though it was extremely hot we did some great hikes.
“Best Uluru Tour!!”
We did the 4 day rock to rock tour with Mulgas and couldn’t recommend it enough. Our guides Rachel and Alex were amazing, so knowledgeable and organised but also super friendly - they made sure we were always the first at popular sunrise and sunset spots. Although the outback heat was tough, our activities were mostly early morning so we would usually be travelling in the air con van in the peak heat of the day. Can’t thank Mulgas, Rachel and Alex enough for this trip of a lifetime!
“Excellent!”
Perfectly organised tour! Our guides Phil and Courtney were great, very knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. The places we visited were very interesting and beautiful. And very important, the food was delicious :) Thank you so much, I'd definitely recommend everyone to choose Mulgas for your Uluru adventure!
“Outback experience”
James and Nat were the best guides ever and I loved the hole tour. The hole group was friendly and there were very good vegetarian and vegan options
“Uluru you have my heart”
Thanks for guiding us on this amazing journey to the sacred land. The stories, the red sand, sleeping underneath the stars, waking up to Love Shack music! And meeting so many beautiful souls! I will never forget…
Thanks James and Nat, you both looked after us so well! Sending lots of love!
“First solo trip Best ever - Thanks James and Nat”
My first solo trip and definitely the most special of all. Uluru is a magical place, and James and Nat made it even better. So much fun and special, they definitely made all the difference in creating such special memories. I recommend them with every word! With all my heart and soul, gratitude! I am grateful for all the experiences we had together. Thank you very much guys.
“Do it… just book the tour!!!”
I started with James and Nat in Alice Springs and they got to enjoy my amazing company for a 5 hour drive… as I slept
I was nervous joining the tour as my type of camping is normally done in a tent or caravan. James and Nat made sure those nerves disappeared as they guided us impeccably thought the red centre!
The campsite locations were to die for as you fall asleep looking up at millions of stars.
James and Nat were the best guides, ensuring we had fun whilst also providing so much knowledge about the culture and environment we were lucky enough to experience. Let’s not forget their top tier banter
The temperature was 43 degrees and all was done to ensure our safety and comfort throughout the trip alongside lovely food.
I will never regret stepping out of my comfort zone and doing this trip. No doubt it wouldn’t have been the same without them both
“What a magical tour”
This was one of the most incredible trips of my life—not just because the place itself is magical, but especially because of the amazing people I met along the way. A special shoutout to the guides, James and Nat, who, beyond being outstanding professionals, are truly exceptional human beings! Thank you, Mulgas, for exceeding my expectations.
“Best tour. And the best tour guides!”
It was a very great tour, I had a lot of fun and a great time. Thanks to James and Nat for making the tour so nice. I even enjoyed the long bus ride from Alice Springs to Uluru and back again.
“Outback adventure!”
Incredible experience from start to finish thanks to the amazing guides James and Nat! The trip is an opportunity to learn more about First Nations peoples as well as take in fantastic views which the outback has to offer. I can only recommend!!!
“Highly recommend. Do it ”
I 100% recommend this tour. I had an amazing time. Everything was really well organised. We were made comfortable at all times, fed with delicious food and had an amazing camping experience under the stars.
A special thank you to our guide Alex who made the trip so enjoyable. He shared local knowledge throughout and made it a very memorable trip! Even cooked us pancakes! Also went back to get my phone after I left it behind in accomodation- a big thank you!
“once-in-a-lifetime adventure with Alex!”
Incredible experience with Alex from Mulgas Adventures!
I was lucky to have Alex as my guide during my 4-day tour of Uluru, Kata Tjuṯa, and Kings Canyon, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the very first moment, he created a relaxed and positive atmosphere in the group with his enthusiasm, knowledge, and great sense of humor.
His passion for the outback and Aboriginal culture was contagious. He shared fascinating stories and insights that made the journey even more special. From breathtaking sunrises to impressive hikes – everything was perfectly organized. He made sure everyone felt comfortable, took individual needs into account, and made the experience personal and unique.
On top of that, his cooking skills were impressive! After a day full of adventure, we enjoyed delicious meals, all expertly prepared by Alex.
If you’re looking for a guide who not only shows you the most beautiful places but also turns the journey itself into an unforgettable experience, I can highly recommend Alex. Thank you, Alex, for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
“Fantastic Experience”
Had an amazing time with Mulgas Adventures 4-Day Rock-to-Rock tour. This tour was by far the best way to see Uluru and the surroundings while also getting an authentic outback experience. While it was extremely hot while I was there, the tour was very well organised so we were never out in the peak heat of the day and had time to ourselves in the afternoon to relax while still getting to see everything I wanted to see. The camps were well set up and everything ran smoothly.
A special mention to our tour guide Alex who is the reason the tour went so well. He created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere that meant everyone enjoyed their time with the tour. His knowledge of the area that he shared with us helped to make the entire trip very interesting and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Uluru!
“What a great trip has this been!”
I joined Mulgas on their Rock-to-Rock camping trip, and it was a magical experience.
Arriving with 44 degree temperatures or wonderful tourguide Liv, did the absolute best to keep us hydrated and well fed! No-one got dehydrated or over heated, and when someone just even show the slightest symptoms she was on it to keep us safe.
There was so much food and (ice cold) water supplied that we had a hard time finishing everything; you go Mulgas!
The trip itself was just absolutely amazing. This area is magical, and really comes to live with all the stories Liv told us. I couldn't have wished for a better way to meet Australians outback!
Ending with a Thunder storm with lots of rain, Australia really gave us everything it had to offer, and we still ended up absolutely loving it!
“Best outback experience ever”
Such an amazing trip! Loved it, great food and made the best out of every situation whether it was burning hot or raining!
“A very memorable, fantastic trip!”
What an incredible experience, something we will remember forever. Our tour guide Olivia made us feel very safe, we experienced 44 degrees heat and she was very attentive to keep our team hydrated and safe. Always boosting moral when feeling tired. She was very very knowledgeable about the aboriginal culture and we felt that we learned a lot throughout our few days. Sleeping in the Swags was a great experience and added to our outback experience. Food was fab and we felt very looked after. Would really recommend this tour and this company.
“Rock to Rock”
The trip was absolutely amazing. I’ve had a really great time, with stunning views and nice people. Our tour guide Liv was the best. She gave us so many information about the Aboriginal culture and ensured that we have a great time.
I would do the tour with her anytime again!!
“The best experience :)”
What an experience!! We saw the most amazing wild life and beautiful scenery. I would definitely recommend. We had a really nice group and great guide! He made amazing potatos on the fire hahaha. Thank you so much James :)
“What a great trip has this been!”
I joined Mulgas on their Rock-to-Rock camping trip, and it was a magical experience.
Arriving with 44 degree temperatures or wonderful tourguide Liv, did the absolute best to keep us hydrated and well fed! No-one got dehydrated or over heated, and when someone just even show the slightest symptoms she was on it to keep us safe.
There was so much food and (ice cold) water supplied that we had a hard time finishing everything; you go Mulgas!
The trip itself was just absolutely amazing. This area is magical, and really comes to live with all the stories Liv told us. I couldn't have wished for a better way to meet Australians outback!
Ending with a Thunder storm with lots of rain, Australia really gave us everything it had to offer, and we still ended up absolutely loving it!

“A very memorable, fantastic trip!”
What an incredible experience, something we will remember forever.

“Great fun 4 day trip”
Our group was amazing, we had a great time and get along so well. Our hosts Liz and Nate were amazing too, specially Liz with her jokes and tyre changing skills
“THE outback experience!”
A fantastic tour with Mulgas. Liv and Nat made an already epic trip even better. Knowledgeable, personable and professional; a prefix trimix. Good food, good hikes and great sunsets. I went looking for an outback experience. I found it.
“Can’t recommend enough!”
The Mulgas Adventure 4-Day Rock to Rock Tour was hands down one of the best experiences of our life! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the itinerary was packed with breathtaking sights, cultural insights, and unforgettable moments.
Our guide James was fantastic—super knowledgeable, witty, attentive and made sure everyone had an amazing time. The hikes through Uluru, Kata Tjuta, and Kings Canyon were nothing short of spectacular. Watching the sunrise and sunset over Uluru was truly magical, and camping under the stars in a swag was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The whole tour had a great balance of adventure, learning about Aboriginal culture, and just soaking in the beauty of the Outback.
“The best excursion in Australia!”
The best choice to visit Uluru and the surrounding area. Our guide, James, was great, he created a great atmosphere in our group, he explained a lot of things and legends about this area. The proposed tour is ideal to visit the place and the way it is organized is perfect and it is super nice to sleep under the stars in the swag. I can only recommend Mulgas Adventures and will come back myself if I visit Central Australia again. Thank you for everything, it was great!
“Book now for amazing camping experience”
I went on a 4 Day Uluru Camping Tour and it was amazing.
Of course the views of the Uluru, Kata Tjuta Kings Canyon are stunning and the weather is hot, but that is not a surprise if you are looking a trip to Uluru.
The reason to book this tour is because of the fantastic guidance and the camping experience.
Our group was toured around by Rachel and she took care of everything while maintaining a great atmosphere. She explained about the area, drove us you around, made food, cracked jokes. I also appreciated that she really makes sure were were doing fine, making sure we were all hydrated which is really important in this area. Overall you will be lucky to have Rachel as a guide, because goes the extra mile for her guests e.g. bake a cake for participants birthday.
Camping in a swag is another good reason to book this tour, it is an once in a life experience, you are sleeping on the stars, while your hear the wildlife in the background and making mars-mellows in the campfire while the sun sets.
All in all, this tour is definitely worth while. You get the fun of the camping trip in amazing surroundings without the hassle of the organization.
“Incredible and unforgettable adventure”
