I experienced the perfect combination of impressive sunsets and sunrises, adventures hikes with stunning views and special moments while sleeping under the stars and sitting at the campfire. Meanwhile we got the chance to get to know the culture very well. I had such an amazing time at this special place. Our tour guide Sharni made it to a perfect experience!! An energy bomb who organised everything so well with just positive energy. She did everything to let us feel 100% comfortable! Little Snacks during the long days, joking, a bigbig shared knowledge, little secrets (;, an open ear for everyone, .... She was one big reason for the constant good vibe on this adventure and in our group! Thank you so much for an very unique and eyeopening Outback experience with so many emotions!! There is no word that can describe the feeling of this trip. A big recomodation to experience it by yourself!

Great tour, a little less walking than anticipated but still very enjoyable. Yad is a really knowledgeable guide (and chef). The BBQ was well executed, great value for money especially as the pass to the park is included which it isn't on some trips we looked at. Thanks for a great experience.

We travelled by coach for 3-4 mins then walked to the field , we were told about the lights and able to take pictures .we visited at sunrise which was fantastic . We had a lot of flies around us at sunrise when having hot drink . Well worth getting up at 3.30 Book it !

We were so lucky to see beautiful star and joined this activity. Staffs were extremely supportive and super friendly! I love them! Good photo skills! I’m so happy to join this activity! Appreciate it!

The whole experience was amazing. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging throughout the tour. The small group allowed us to all experience the stories. Would highly recommend.
