Kata Tjuta Small Group Tour: Walpa Gorge walk with guide

The guide discusses the geology, flora and fauna of the landscape and shares the spiritual history of this place. Hotel pickup and drop-off from Ayers Rock Resort hotels are included. The walk is moderate in difficulty with rocky, uneven ground underfoot.

It suits anyone with moderate fitness who wants to understand what they're looking at instead of just walking past it, and the group size under 15 means you're not navigating the gorge in a crowd.Free cancellationTravelers' pickLikely to sell outfromAU$ 185View ›
