A Truly Unforgettable Experience – 5 Stars!

Our AAT Kings basecamp tour of Uluru was absolutely incredible! From the moment we were picked up, our guides Glen and Libby made the experience unforgettable with their deep cultural knowledge, engaging storytelling, and warm hospitality.

Watching around Uluru at sunrise was breathtaking, and the guided walk allowed us to appreciate the rich history and significance of this sacred place. Glen and Libby shared fascinating stories of the Mala people, their traditions, and the land’s spiritual connection, making the experience both educational and deeply moving.

The tour was well-organized, comfortable, and perfectly paced, with plenty of opportunities to take in the stunning landscapes. If you’re visiting Uluru, this tour is a must—AAT Kings provides a truly immersive and respectful experience of this incredible place. Highly recommended!

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!

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.

My wife and I had an excellent day trip to King's Canyon, departing early in the morning from Ayers Rock resort. It's a long trip, but well worth it. After a 2-2.5 hour bus ride we were served a nice buffet breakfast at a rest stop, then a further short ride to the canyon. The 5-6 km hike, for those who are reasonably fit, is gorgeous. The pace is slow, so lots of time for admiring the scenery and taking photos. Very friendly, well trained and knowldgeable staff.

We love the tour from Uluṟu to Kings canyon return. Although we woke up so early at 3am, it’s worth it. We have unforgettable experiences with driver Jim and local guide Glen. They are so friendly and professional. Glen is passionate and encourages everyone in hiking. He takes care of each person. He tells us very interesting stories on the way. We have very happy and enjoyable time with them. This tour plans very well in each part. We had delicious local homemade breakfast, clean toilets, special camel burger, stunning natural views, we also see the curtains spring, another flattened rock, this tour stops here for break, it exceeded our expectations. We love this tour and the two wonderful guides Glen and Jim. Thank you all.

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.

Kata Tjuta sunrise and valley of the winds tour was just amazing. Our guides, Glen & James, were engaged and brought the magic out of our group to make it a really special experience. Good blend of local, geological and historical information given and it felt like we were all part of a big family on a walk that was challenging but rewarding. Palya gents for an awesome experience.
