The park was first added to the list in 1987, when the international community recognised its spectacular geological formations, rare plants and animals, and outstanding natural beauty. Your expert local guide will uncover some of the incredible secrets the Rock offering guided -commentary, stories and hidden gems that really bring this place to life. We have comfortable twin safari tents providing a little more comfort, privacy and security, or you can try out a traditional swag experience (canvas-covered bedroll).

Awesome experience
We had a fantastic time with Autopia. Damian was a brilliant guide and was very helpful at explaining all of the local highlights and the fascinating cultural history of this amazing area. Highly recommend. We took our two kids aged 11 and nine and they loved it as well, including the swag camping under the spectacular stars!

Poor quality and experience
It was an unforgettable experience but in the worst possible way!! The poorly kept accommodations, detail, do not close inside! The place to eat with awful look as well as the food offered for us to cook!! The bathrooms are 5 minutes walk away in the dark! In the 1st campsite they were very dirty!! I had a problem with my reservation (I lost a stay and an air ticket) and although Guia Adam was partially responsible for it, it was omitted and only offered help after q asked countless times, yet with extreme bad will. Things can be simple but have a certain charm, capricho and quality, and that was not the case, I do not recommend it in any way!!

We're truly sorry this experience fell short of expectations. The outback should feel adventurous, not uncomfortable or unsafe. Your feedback about the facilities, food, and support is deeply concerning and will be taken seriously. Every traveler deserves thoughtful care, especially in remote settings. Thank you for sharing your story, it helps highlight where improvements are urgently needed.

Sid is amazing
I had Sid for a tour guide and he was hands down absolutely incredible. He had a remarkable understanding of the area and culture which he shared passionately. Definitely made me wished I had booked a longer stay. However I will certainly be back.
Palya!
Operator response
That's fantastic to hear! Having a guide like Sid, who shares his passion and deep knowledge of the area and culture, truly elevates the experience. It’s understandable that his expertise made you wish for a longer stay-sometimes one trip just isn’t enough to fully soak in all the beauty and richness of a place. It’s great to know you’re already planning to return. Thanks for sharing your positive experience-sounds like you had a truly memorable adventure!

Excellent way of...
Excellent way of exploring Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Dion was a great tour guide. Only suggestion would be staying at the Uluru sunrise for longer since we left before it rose.
Operator response
Thank you for your great feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you had an excellent experience exploring Uluru and Kata Tjuta with Dion. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the Uluru sunrise and will certainly take it into consideration for future tours. Your input helps us enhance the experience for all travelers. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon! - MC 🌅🏕️
Hiking around Uluru is a once in a lifetime experience and very moving. Ben, our hike and camp leader for the overnight was superb. I would request him if I were to do this tour again. Be prepared for walks, although 2-3 k, are in the hot part of the day the first day. Bring your fly swatter! We were caught unaware about the flies that are out on the hiking trails and they are extremely annoying. There are fly nets for heads which we didn't know about. I would recommend that the tour group offer these in a similar fashion to the swags. There are requirements for the amount of water you carry on a walk; make sure you do it because it is going to be necessary. Be prepared to get up early on the second day. We got up at 4:30 am to hike through the Valley of the Winds and to the other viewing points. This camping trip is not for someone looking for a "glamping" experience. You need to know what you're doing and you need to listen to your group leader. Much of this area is sacred to the aboriginal tribes and please please respect that. Please try to take a moment and learn about the history of Uluru (the people, the land, the plants) before you go. Also, be prepared that your shoes will turn red from the sand.

G'day,
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that you found hiking around Uluru to be such a moving experience and that Ben made your overnight tour more memorable.
Your reminders about hydration, early starts, and respecting the sacred land are spot on—this adventure is all about preparation and appreciation for the incredible landscape and its cultural significance.
We hope your red-dusted shoes serve as a great memory of your journey! If you ever decide to return, we’d love to welcome you back for another adventure. Safe travels!
