Beautiful morning - Beautiful morning, sunrise on Uluru was amazing. Dani was a great host and provided science based explanation of the geology. Walk in gorge ended was like natural air conditioning on a hot day. Great experience!

Amazing Northern Territory beauty! - Fantastic!!! Our guides Jake and Dani took us on a 5+ hour tour of Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park. Due to heavy cloud cover, Uluru did not light up when the sun rose. No matter, it was a beautiful spot to be in this sacred land. From there we hiked into the Walpa Gorge. Stunning domes! We thought the terrain around this area looks like the U.S. state of Arizona without the cacti. A full morning, well spent. We learned so much from Dani and Jake!! Thank you!!!
PS, We didn't expect snacks and that was a welcomed bonus!

Excellent. Really enjoyed - Great spot for seeing sunrise at Uluru. Lucky we had a beautiful morning. It had rained the day before. Trip to Kata Tjuṯa was about 40 minutes and I really liked the walk up the canyon. Meg and bus driver Sarah very pleasant and helpful. Overall five stars.

Great tour - This is an excellent tour. Prior to the tour I got excellent customer service from the tour operator, AAT Kings. During the tour, our tour guide, Hayley, was fantastic in explaining the history behind the area as well as some Anangu history. Uluru at sunrise and the walk Kata Tjuṯa were superb. Much respect to the Anangu. I recommend.

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

Breathtaking Tour of a Lifetime - Expect some photo opportunities that will blow your mind -- you may well not have had anything like these previously. Hailey (sp?) was an awesome tour guide who gave excellent commentary and background info. This tour definitely exceeded our expectations...

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

Unfortunately it rained... - Unfortunately it rained on the day so at sunrise we couldn’t even get off the bus and had to skip Ayers Rock entirely - very frustrating as only there for one day. We did Kata Tjuṯa, but also in the rain and on very slippery rocks and half the group staying on the bus. By the time we returned, the rain had stopped and weather cleared up - instead of returning early, they should have revisited Ayers Rock / Uluru at the end.. overall disappointing experience

Grumpy Ned! - First & foremost ... the view and surroundings v ULURU ... Wow... unfortunately this afternoon was ruined by the quenched rude female guide NED !! She told her thing on the bus and I quietly translated pieces for my friend because she doesn't understand everything in English. I sat diagonally behind Ned and suddenly in front of the whole bus through the micro: “Will you shut up while I’m talking !! I’m the guide here !!”
Stunned by this rudeness, we have said nothing all afternoon, nor has Ned looked at us or spoken to us. Ned was also her sister & niece on this trip. Did she want to highlight her status with that or is this woman just extinguished because her stories were just reeled off monotonously and asking questions was a burden I had the impression.
Unfortunately ...retirement could be a good choice NED !!
Hailey ... our guide the next day ... WOW ... what a relief !! Spontaneous , smooth, friendly, fun & animated stories.
So thank you Hailey for making ULURU a wonderfull place again !!!
