Must do! Was brilliant, Pilot was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of information. My second time to Uluru and it was a totally different point of view of the rock and the area surrounding. The lady who picked us up and ran through safety etc was awesome, so polite yet a true Aussie. Airconditioned transport van, airconditioned office for demo/safety video, chopper was warm but couldn't avoid that and for 15 mins in warmth with a view like that, I couldn't complain. Worth booking a flight and would book with them again in a heartbeat.

The most you can possibly make out of a one day trip to the outback :) it was a really lovely tour, that included all the must-do‘s! Especially the tour guide Glen and the driver Martin made the experience unique! Can highly recommend!

Great relaxing walk with information provided by guides. Also option to get on the bus if you felt tired which was great as my mum couldn't finish the walk.

Our tour guide, Brandon is friendly, informative and caring. An incident happened during the tour and he handled it professionally. Cheers mate:)

The activity is a must! Have an empty belly. The food is amazing.
