King Canyon Rim Walk
paulM9805KX, October 2026
Great tour led by Sofia; Rachel and Karen who were fantastic tour guides. Kings Canyon rim walk was spectacular and highly recommended (we got to see it in the rain - a little different). Highly recommended!
★★★★★Viator review
Excellent organised tour
Martine_X, September 2026
Excellent bfast stop around 7.15. Yes, there are toilets upon arrival at the walks ( and on bus if urgent). If you are doing the Rim walk, you sign an indemnity form on the bus that you do have three litres of water with you… and this is checked upon arrival. The alternative creek walk is very nice ( a couple of walkers on the Rim walk did struggle and needed the guides assistance, holding up the group and bus schedule a little bit). When you’ve finished your walks, Kings canyon resort has a very good hotel for food and drinks. On the way back to Yulara, there’s a quick roadside toilet stop and another stop at an impressive cattle station for toilet and snacks. Lovely guides and bus driver. AAT: please update your phone charging ports to suit the newer phones. Coaches are comfortable with plenty of room for backpacks etc…

It's a tough walk
joannek941, September 2026
It was a tough walk. The landscape was breathtaking. Being given the option to try the rim walk was great. If after the first 200 (out of 500) steps you want to turn back you can. I chose to stay. It wasn't an easy walk. Made much harder by being told you have to carry 3lts of water. I probably drank 1.5 liters. The breakfast was fantastic! Much better than I expected. The guides and driver were really great. Great tour! If you are fit and healthy, I highly recommend it.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Awesome experience!
SamamaM, September 2026
We initially wanted to do the rim walk. But we were quite exhausted after another day tour beforehand. Really grateful for the warm reminders about the rim walk, and the alternative leisurely walk and helicopter add-on option. We could still enjoy the best of Kings Canyon. We love all the stories and histories shared by the team along the journey. One of the best coach tour I have ever joined in Australia!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Kings Canyon rim walk, absolutely amazing.
C5175GBmichelles, September 2026
Amazing! Feels like an accomplishment. I found the stairs challenging, but having little breaks in-between helped. Once we reached the top, absolutely stunning. Our guide told us about the history of the region from the pastoralist point of view, the geological formation, and much more which was interesting. Highly recommend.
