Experience Australia's ancient beauty through hiking along the panoramic views of the magnificent Kings Canyon as this awe-inspiring one day adventure from Alice Springs is one not to be missed.
This 440 million year in the making, the Kings Canyon is an extraordinary place of ancient beauty at the heart of Australia's red centre. The breathtaking landscapes of the 300 metre high sandstone walls and dense palm forests, the exotic Garden of Eden, and the Lost City of Kings Canyon is an experience to not be missed.
Lace up your hiking boots for this early morning 7am pick up as we travel across the 340km short cut across the Ernest Giles Road, a scenic and true outback rough dirt track (6 people maximim). Groups of 7 to 12 customers must travel a 110km extra along the sealed highway, so allow for different timings.

Arriving at Kings Canyon mid morning, we have two different walking tracks to choose from, weather permitting. On days where the temperature exceeds 36 degrees celsius our option is the base walk, approximateley 3km return and fairly flat. Throughout the winter months, April to October, we can do the full 7km Rim walk.
The Rim walk is stunning but requires a medium level of fitness to complete as there are many stairs and uneven surfaces during the hike. Hikers will need to have sturdy walking boots or sneakers, a hat, and must be able to carry at least three litres of water to go on the hike. This is not for the faint hearted and you will be rewarded by some of the best views in the Red Centre.
After lunch, we head home on the Outback Way Mereenie Loop Road, (180km dirt road track) where we drive past Tnorala, the largest Asteroid crater in the World, and return to Alice Springs late afternoon via the Scenic section of the Western MacDonnell Ranges.
