The eco-tour guides were great, the dinner amazing. I would not have ordered kangaroo or crocodile, but they were on the buffet line, and I liked them both–and no, they don’t taste like chicken. I do not consume alcohol, but for those who do, the wine flowed freely–that made a good impression because I hate stinginess. How cool is that to have seen Uluru with waterfalls and watch the sunset on Kata Tjuta through a clouded sky and observe 5 sets of rain areas on 180 degree horizon. The color changes on Uluru were not noticeable, but the textures in the monolith could be observed while rain and mist rolled over the top of it. Absolutely wonderful!!! What an adventure! The clouds allowed the stars to peek out here and there during the Sounds of Silence dinner, so we were able to see the Southern Cross and Orion’s Belt and that was even okay–again, not perfect, but the tours were everything I hoped for and more.

The trip was extremely good, and in particular our driver had an incredible knowledge, both self taught and researched, of the Aborigine people, their culture, and their customs. We were, however, disappointed with The Sails in the Dessert, because it took us nearly two hours to get checked into our room, which left us with only fifteen minutes before we were being picked up again. In addition, we would have liked to have seen Kings Canyon, which I believe would have been feasible had a little more thought gone into the planning of the trip’s timetable. Overall, it was an experience we will never forget and will be pleased to promote your tours to our friends when they visit.
