You’ll get a sense of the remoteness of outback Australia as you travel to Kings Canyon. Located in the heart of Watarrka National Park, it lies in an ancient Australian landscape that is sacred ground for the Ulpanyali and Lilla people.

Upon arrival, hop off the coach and explore the canyon by foot on either the rocky 3.5-mile (6-km) Rim Walk or the easier 1-mile (2-km) Creek Bed Walk. On the 3-hour circuit Rim Walk, climb up a 328-foot (100-m) cliff face and walk around the rim of the canyon. Take in a bird's-eye view of the canyon gorge and its magnificent sandstone walls. Then follow a steep trail into the Garden of Eden—a green oasis with natural spring waterholes surrounded by local plants and trees.

For an easier and shorter walk, stroll along the creek bed and discover amazing views from the boulder-strewn canyon floor. When you're done, leave the canyon behind you and travel to the Kings Canyon Resort for a lunch break (at your own expense). Then relax on your afternoon return trip to Ayers Rock Resort.
