Goanna Dreaming 4WD Red Centre Tour

From booking to the end of the trip, we experienced professional and efficient service which we did enjoy and would like to have another trip with them again! We not only had good sight views, experienced different life, but also learned a lot about the culture, phytology, astronomy and etc. Our guide Rhett is our photographer, chef, singer and super star! He gave us warm welcoming and shared many stories and knowledge with us. He is very friendly and helpful, provided us good support during the tour. Thanks a lot all wayoutback team as we understand it is not easy to make the trip so interesting and impressive!

We all had a great time on this tour. We only did the one night as we joined at Uluru airport, this was awkward to start with as our plane was late and the luggage took an age to come out. So we felt we held things up a bit as the rest of the group were on the truck waiting. But we soon got in the swing of it. Phil was excellent very knowledgeable and his instructions were clear and precise. Sleeping in the swag is a must do as the night sky is amazing. The guided tour around Uluru was very good our local guide Verna was brilliant as was the interpreter.
The sunset and sunrise was spectacular and well worth the early start

We did this trip end of June, and we are a family of 3, the youngest one beeing 16 years old. We are not very fond of camping, but found this tour really exciting. We were only 5 persons in our car, and Alicia was a wonderful guide. This trip was one of our (many) highlights from Australia, from the wonderful sunset of Uluru, to the hiking trips in Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon. At this time of the year, the temperature was very comfortable, although it is advisable to bring a winter jacket for the evenings. The first night, the temperature was close to zero. We very much enjoyed Alicia’s enthusiasm and the company of our two british friends. We had to rise early every morning to catch the sunrise, but when we arrived at our destination, it was really worth the effort. We also appreciated the stops along the highway to collect wood, to see the kenguroos and the wild camels. We would recommend this trip to anyone who would like to see wonderful Australian outback, and also have some nice hikes. The hikes we did were around 6-7 km each, and a nice way of exploring the wonderful nature. The Kings Canyon hik, the last day, was our most memorable hike. We’d like to come back!

My daughter and I just finished this tour and had a fantastic time. We were picked up on time by our tour guide/driver Adam who has the most amazing knowledge of Australian history. He was outstanding.We were lucky that we got a great group. There is a lot to do and if I you want to do the field of lights I would suggest arriving a day earlier as we were too tired to really enjoy it. Camping facilities are really great. I absolutely loved Kings Creek Station and saw the Milky Way there, what a highlight. Mornings and evenings are very cold but the day is beautiful. Everyone complains about the flies, it is the Australian Outback so it is inevitable and they would be far worse in our summer. Food was much better than I expected and vegetarians were catered for. Everyone is expected to pitch in for everything so if you are precious this is not for you. There is a lot of walking and hiking so you need some level of fitness. It has inspired me too see more of Australia as Aussies tend to take the cheap Bali option myself included. Can’t wait to book another trip with Wayoutback.

We had a feeling that the 3 day Gaonna Dreaming safari was going to be good but we certainly weren't prepared for just how good. Gus, our guide extraordinaire, made the trip for us. In between driving us to each destination, making sure we kept to our timeplan, feeding us, turning his skills as a mechanic to good use and fixing a faulty pump in the 4WD while waiting for us at Uluru thereby ensuring that our trip could continue without any further delay, cooking for us and generally being a thoroughly nice guy, he also managed to get us to stop and take in our surroundings while he took the time to explain some of the culture we were being exposed to. We had some great experiences in Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Watarrka (Kings Canyon), each one a jewel in the crown. The memorable hikes through the Valley of the Winds and Watarrka forever etched in the memory banks and sleeping in a swag by the campfire, falling asleep watching the stars and the Milky Way only to be woken up at 5am to the sounds of Xavier Rudd singing Follow The Sun. Gus, you're a top man for helping to make our trip across Australia a memorable one. Thanks also to our chefs Marin (black eyed Susie) and Zack for creating meals that we readily devoured. This tour rates 11/10. If you get the chance, go do it!

We did the 3 day Goanna Dreaming 4WD tour and Dave was our guide/driver. He was great and everyone on the tour pitched in with setting up camp, collecting fire wood and helped with food prep which made things run really smoothly. The permanent tents in camp were basic but enough for what you needed for an overnight stay, after all you are there to see the sights not the inside of your tent! Everywhere we visited was amazing and the information provided by Dave about each place was great. At Uluru we had a local aboriginal lady Joanne talk about and show us some of the ways they have survived on the land for thousands of years, it was very interesting. This tour does not allow anytime for climbing Uluru as they actively advise you not to climb it, which was ok for us. The walk through the Valley of the Winds at Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) in truly incredible and even more so was the walk at Kings Canyon. This is a very beautiful part of Australia and one that everyone should see.

Prepare to be blown away by the things that you will experience during this trip.
Steve our guide was brilliant and extremely knowledgeable, he obviously wanted this to be a fantastic experience for all. He also stopped the bus on a number of occasions to show us wildlife.
We did not sleep in the swag as we preferred the tent but those who did, enjoyed it. There was a bit of a walk to the loos.
The food provided was brilliant and plenty and there were options for meat eaters and vegetarians. We are all expected to help out but that was not an issue.
This trip does require an element of fitness as there is a lot of walking and climbing but Steve looked after us all, even us chubbies who found day two very tough. There are shorter walks for those who are not there to power walk. The effort was well worth it though as the views were mind blowing.
