Support staff - amazing! Rim Walk Views - Incredible! Staff on board - Rachel (driver), and Dani ( guide) ensured we were safe and well looked after for the entire day. Being a little older and certainly less fit than the rest of the group, I was challenged by this Rim Walk - but Dani was full of encouragement to ensure I had a positive experience. The Rim Walk is not for the feint-hearted, but I wanted to see the most stunning views for myself - as I’d heard so many amazing comments about the scenery - and, despite being exhausted, accomplishing this task will remain with me forever - but only possible with Dani’s encouragement!!!
Dani and Rachel - worth your weight in gold!!!
PS - I found using hiking poles a huge help in providing extra leg power when scrambling up some of the inclines.

An Amazing Sunset Experience The Field of Light Dinner (Sound Of Silence) package which we bought was indeed the right choice for our 1 night stay in Ayers Rock. We spent 3 days in Alice Springs prior to this, and travelled by the AAT Kings Tour Bus to Outback Hotel& Lodge in Ayers Rock. The bus journey took about 7 hours as there were 2 stops in between.From our hotel, it was just a 10-minute bus ride to our Field Of Light Dinner where we had very amazing views of Uluru before the sun began to set, while sipping sparkling wine/beer ( there were choices of other drinks too) and enjoying Canapes.
We were then guided to a 3-Course buffet dinner under a clear night sky, illuminated by the many stars and bright moon.
The food were just delicious and there was a star talker session too, talking about the constellation.
Finally, the unforgettable experience of walking through the colourful glowing lights on the ground "Field Of Light" in the thousands of them.
To take note, there are many flies and mosquitoes in Uluru, which tend to stick on our face and head. Advisable to bring along a head net.
To also wear a pair of covered up walking shoes to avoid our feet exposed to the fine red sand on the ground while walking.

Friendly and professional Very nice tour well organized. They are really kind expecially with me and my wife. We came late to the bus because we’ve been ipnotized by sunrise over Uluru and they didn’t say anything and we had also a special device with all infos in our language. I enjoyed also the short trek in a gorge of Olgas mountain. No snakes along my trail ..read moreread less

Do it if you have the time We had an absolutely amazing experience on the Kings Canyon Day Trip from Ayers Rock (Uluru)! It’s a long day at around 13 hours, but it is completely worth it for everything you see and experience.Our guide, Michelle, was fantastic, so knowledgeable and informative, with a clear and engaging way of delivering information that made the whole journey even more enjoyable.
We completed the Rim Walk, which was breathtaking and definitely a highlight of the trip. The scenery is unforgettable and truly unique.
Breakfast was incredible and a great way to start such a big day. As an added bonus, we also stopped at Mount Connor (Atila) on the way back, which was a wonderful extra experience.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area, it’s a big day, but one you won’t regret!

Amazing Field of Light Installation We decided to view the Field of Light installation with the added benefit of watching the sunrise. We were picked up on time by AAT Kings and taken to the Field of Light and were able to just wander through the illuminated installation as all paths lead back to the start. We had our phone torches to guide us as we walked through and the total silence is amazing. Watched a beautiful sunrise with Uluru in the background and if you turn and look behind you can see Kata Tjuta in the distance. Make sure to have fly nets handy as soon as there is enough light the flies are all over you.read moreread less

Good but the sunset was the highlight overall. Overall trip good but the sunset was amazing !!38 degrees so maybe have some wooden seating in place where the covered areas are prior to going ing the cultural centre when giving the talks
Lovely art in the cultural centre
Also when in the heat maybe a briefer talk at the different sites at Uluru itself as I could see some people were finding it difficult and were switching off a little.
The drive around Uluru was great and the talk informative
At the sunset site maybe could split into 2 side by side with a bit of space as the one site spoilt such a special experience with so many people around because of this if I ever came again I would probably hire a car
It was very special to see nevertheless and the highlight overall

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yes — the flies definitely like to make themselves part of the experience! 😄 Your tip about a fly net is spot on and will be very helpful for future guests. Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure (with fewer flies next time!).

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

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.

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

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

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

Beautiful vista Beautiful sunset. Great wine and nibbles. It’s a very populated area so manage your expectations but everyone is enjoying the shared moment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After arriving and wanting to fill my itinerary.
I made my way to the information centre in Town Square Uluṟu.
Walking in you are greeted with lovely people at the front desk that will direct you to the appropriate counter.
Approaching the AAT Counter the delightful lady working (forgot her name AR:5171334_2)Thank you.
was very patient, smiling and explaining the tours that we wanted to do.
She booked everything and upgraded an existing booking.
Pickup was prompt, the staff are amazing- like it was their first day on the job with everyone. And not hurrying you to get on the bus.
My partner proposed to me in the middle of the tour and the staff were just as excited and took photos for us💍
I can’t wait for our next holiday and will be checking that I can do it with AATKings.

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

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

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

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

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