HOW FIT DO I NEED TO BE?

At Real Aussie Adventures, our tours don’t require you to be an Olympic athlete, but be ready for outdoor physical activities that involve moving, chatting, and laughing. While individual activities are not demanding, the hikes are the most physically engaging.

For the hikes, your fitness and energy levels will be considered, and your guide will recommend suitable options each day:

Day 1: Uluru
Choose from iconic walks, including the full base (up to 9.4 km), ‘Kantju Gorge,’ and ‘Mutitjulu Waterhole’ for shorter walks.

Day 2: Kata Tjuta
Experience the famous ‘Valley of the Winds’ walk through the domes (moderate difficulty) or opt for the quicker ‘Walpa Gorge’ walk.

Day 3: Kings Canyon
Embark on the spectacular ‘Kings Canyon Rim Walk,’ or enjoy relaxed options like ‘Kings Creek Walk’ and ‘South Wall Walk.’

Your guide is there to ensure you have the best Outback adventure. Discuss your options at each hike location, as they’ll provide descriptions and help you make the right choice for you. Get ready to explore the Outback with confidence and enthusiasm!

HOW MUCH LUGGAGE CAN I BRING?

If you are doing the round trip (Alice Springs to Alice Springs), you should only bring a small ‘overnight’ rucksack and store your large luggage / suitcase in your hostel. Please keep this in mind, and plan ahead as best you can. If you are doing a one way journey (Ayers Rock / Yulara to Alice Springs), we can accept between 15-20kgs of luggage – soft rucksacks are much preferred to suitcases. The less you bring with you, the happier you will be!

WHERE WILL I SLEEP?

We sleep in Australian Swags in private campgrounds under the stars, with a campfire burning. Swags are designed to put your sleeping bag inside and zip it up to your neck, ensuring your body is nice and toasty whilst leaving your face open for a perfect view of the incredible Outback starscape.

Read our “What is a Swag blog” for more detailed information.
