Some very nice views and opportunity to explore the remote areas outside of Alice Springs. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and lunch was a selection of wraps and fillings. For March time recommend bringing fly nets.

Went on this trip on a very wet and cold day. We did get to all the places as specified on the tour. Karen, driver/guide was very knowledgeable in all aspects. However, in hindsight, the tour company should have cancelled the tour as the weather forecast for Saturday, 15th April was well known. If you're going to do this trip make sure that the weather is fine so you can really appreciate the natural beauty of this area.

Our tour guide, Adz from Autopia, was simply outstanding! Not only was he extremely knowledgeable and sensitive about the Aboriginal and white fellow history and culture of the area, but he also had a great sense of humour and made the entire experience fun and engaging. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional tour guide!
