Review of our Alice Springs to Adelaide Tour


Review of our Alice Springs to Adelaide Tour
The first day we left Alice Springs and headed towards Kings Canyon. On the way there we were given the opportunity to ride camels which was a first time for a lot of us and was a great experience. We then arrived at Kings Canyon for a hike, but make sure you bring a head net as there can be a lot of flies about, but you barely notice them with the net on. The hike was fantastic as we got to see the gorge after walking through the canyon and seeing the sandstone walls whilst our tour guide told us about the history of it. Explore
