Great effort from the guides and drivers to make this a fantastic day. Full English breakfast, small lunch, few snacks and bbq steak dinner with drinks. You can buy fly nets at the first stop where you get breakfast. 100% get as lots of flys get on the coach as the day goes on. Over 18 hours of travel but lots of stops/ short walks to break journey up.

An amazing experience. A very very long day but so worth it. The food was good. Yad, our tour guide at Ulurru was very informative and made the experience come alive with the traditional stories he narrated to us.

This is a great one day tour of both the monuments in the park, with easy hikes and a lot of information.

Guides were fantastic. Enjoyable experience highly recommend

Great tour with a friendly and knowledgeable guide
