Our guide Alex (girl) gave us a really good talk and draw what she was explaining in the dirt about the formation of both rock formations
It was just ok. The guide was informative, but the hike was a brief out and back to one single canyon - perhaps an hour walk. We did a self-guided tour of Ayers Rock the day before and it was just as interesting, enjoyable - and a lot less expensive! Would have rather done a self guided tour here too.
The guide Alex was great and very informative
However if you are older or not fit this walk is not easy on very uneven terrain. The small bus was crowded and stifling hot.
The area was absolutely beautiful and we felt that we were unable to make the most of our tour
Waḻpa gorge at Kata Tjuṯa is beautiful to walk through, the colours in the afternoon were vibrant. It is rocky so wear sturdy shoes and a hat for sun protection. Our Seit guide Annie was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and was able to highlight geographical and natural history information and talk about the various plants in the gorge. The experience was magical to have visited this amazing part of central Australia.
Peter was knowledgeable and friendly, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Kata Tjuṯa is a fascinating formation which Peter explains very well.
A great afternoon exploring Kata Tjuta. Our guide was knowledgeable and informative. A relatively easy walk to the lookout with amazing scenery.
Highly recommend.
Michael and Rachel were awesome guides. Very knowledgeable, polite, entertaining and oh, so helpful on the slippery rocks. Rain hit us a little, causing that, but gorgeous sight whose meaning can be understood.
"Amazing experience at Kata Tjuta! The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the walk was breathtaking. Our guide was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable and made the whole trip so much better. Highly recommended!"
Super hot afternoon and Mimi and Andrea did their best to keep us cool. Stopped the hike a bit early and went to a fabulous overlook. Well worth learning the history!!
This tour provided an excellent opportunity to see Kata Tjuta up close. It only went to one site for walking and it's a bit of a climb on uneven ground. If your able, it is worth the walk, and the tour guide was excellent providing lots of background and pointing out things to see.
Wonderful experience wear good sneakers and drink lots of water. Take your time enjoy the scenery Dimitry was a great guide
Very informative very nice guide looked after us very well helped us with photos and very knowledgeable
Andy from Seit Tours gave a very informative tour and checked regularly on how we were handling the walk and heat. Gorgeous place.
good experience, beautiful view, excellent guide, air conditioned coach. Highly recommend. Remember to bring fly net
Amazing place . We enjoyed the trip and the beauty of this remote place! Ale our guide made our experience more memorable 👍👏
This tour gives a good taste of being outdoors in the NT and the scale of Kata Juta. Great guide. Recommend for a short excursion.
Get short tour! Tour guide was really informative and walk itself was relatively easy to do. Would recommend 👌
Our guide, Jackie, was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly.
The walk through the gorge at Kata Tjuta is spectacular but the ground is very uneven. Seit does warn about this on their website, so take it seriously.
Even is winter there were a lot of flies and I was glad I had my fly net. Quite a few others had them too.
All in all, an excellent tour to an amazing place.
A relaxed half day tour, great information shared and the scenery was spectacular. Lucia was excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable.
This was an amazing experience. Gorgeous scenery. Our guide Bea was very informative and friendly. Lots of information about the area was given. It is quite uneven and rocky so you must watch where you walk so decent shoes a must. Well worth the trip out there as it is a sight to behold.
Lovely drive, beautiful Kata Juta mountains and awesome Valpa gorge. Being a small group private tour helped to get to location and back quicker than a large tour group.
The trek is on very rough ground. A real ankle twister. It's worth it to make it into the gorge. Takes longer than you think. The flies are terrible.
This was an interesting area to visit and the domes were impressive. Max was a great guide, knowledgeable about the area and its history and how the Kata Tjuṯa was formed. He was very happy answering questions, on time, a safe driver and looked after everyone, ensuring they were ok in the heat and had plenty of water. It was a shame that, because of the heat, we couldn’t walk further into the Walpa Gorge.
Make sure you take a fly net along with your water, hat and sunscreen!
Our tour started at 2:30PM with the Sun trying to burn us alive. However, Rachel was such an incredible guide, explaining geology, providing local music experience during the ride, and sharing stories about local flora and fauna, as well as the people that we forgot about the scorching heat.
She's an incredible guide, engaging, and easygoing, while still making sure we're all safe, so keep your fingers crossed you get her!
We loved our visit to Kata Tjuta! Our guide was a gem and was very attentive to the group's needs throughout the tour. We first stopped at a viewing platform to get breathtaking views of Kata Tjuta and Uluru in the distance, and then we proceeded to Walpa Gorge for a short hike through the rock formations. Definitely bring a fly net (flies don't bite but swarm over your head/neck)--we were the only people who brought one, and everyone else said they wished they had. Overall a great afternoon that helped us make the most of our limited time in the Uluru area after doing a sunrise tour that morning.
Excellent experience - Lily was a really good guide who provided lots of interesting information about the geology and flora of Kata Tjuta. I really recommend visiting this area as well as Uluru as it is quite different and also much less busy
Dan the guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative. Highly recommend the tour! A bit too hot and a couple of flies buzzing about but other than that, was amazed by Kata Tjuta!
Rachel was a great guide & very knowledgeable. Trainers/walking boots are a must as well as water. Nets are great for keeping the flies off the face. I would recommend this tour
The Kata Tjuta range is stunning - and less visited than Uluru Rock, so it felt very special to be in a small party of 6, plus our excellent guide Rachel who was very informative but also gave us time to look, listen, reflect & really appreciate KT. You also see Uluru in the distance and get an interesting 40ish mins road trip e/way showcasing this area of the red centre. NB: Not arduous however requires full mobility to do the walk owing to some rocky terrain. A must-see.
Our guide is very friendly and helpful. The view is stunning. We went on a very hot day, there was plenty of water supplied.
