Kings Canyon-Watarrka National Park Sightseeing Tour

price $172.40 (per person)
Why book this experience

  • Guided Sightseeing tour of Watarrka National Park with Kings Canyon
  • Climb to the rim of canyon for magnificient views
  • Visit to Kings Creek station.
  • Luxury coach transfers with experienced driver/guide.

Watarrka National Park is best known as the home of Kings Canyon, a mighty chasm cleaving the earth to a depth of 270 metres. Watarrka is an important conservation area with rock holes and gorges providing refuge for over 600 species of plants and many native animals. The sheer red rock face of Kings Canyon soars over 100 metres above dense forests of palms, ferns and cycads, sheltering them from the surrounding desert conditions. A moderately challenging six-kilometre walk takes in magnificent views of the Canyon rim, the weathered, buttressed domes of 'the Lost City' and the 'Garden of Eden' - a sheltered valley with permanent waterholes and lush vegetation.

Itinerary

You will be picked up from your accommodation and taken in a luxury coach to the Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park for a full day's guided sightseeing tour.

Drive through sandhill country towards Kings Canyon, stopping for breakfast at Kings Creek Station along the way.

Continue on to Watarrka National Park where you can make the rocky climb with your guide to the rim of Kings Canyon and be rewarded with marvellous views. The climb may take up to 3 hours and is for those with a good level of fitness.

Alternatively, you may wish to explore the boulder-strewn canyon floor, an easier walk.

After lunch (own expense) make your way back to Ayers Rock.

At the end of the tour, you will be dropped back at your accommodation in Ayers Rock Resort.
