A spiritually-uplifting escape

I had the most wonderful day! Our tour guide/bus driver, Brett, created a welcoming atmosphere, was well informed and quite funny. I found it spiritually uplifting from the various perspectives of the Hermannsburg/Ntaria Lutheran mission, to driving along the oldest riverbed in the world (Finke River), visiting breathtaking Cycad Gorge/Palm Valley and viewing the wonderful Aboriginal artwork that captures the true essence of this place. I would go again.
A beautiful part of the world

I appreciated being taken to Palm Valley - such a remote and beautiful place. Brett was a fantastic driver on a challenging road. Both he and Jim were supportive of the group’s needs and abilities. Hermannsburg, too, was interesting and the scones for morning tea were a treat. It was a memorable day

Excellent trip. Small group. Very competent driver guide. Is truly 4WD only! Well paced combination of visiting historical and natural sites.
Shame on AAT Kings for poor attention to safety

Our problems started when it took ages to get into contact with either Viator or AAT Kings to confirm our trip date which had been changed by Viator with an endless stream of conflicting emails. Actual tour was the 18 May 2021. Tour itself was a disaster. Due to wrong type of vehicle (a poorly converted to 4WD school bus) and poor driving we get bogged in sand for over an hour. Driver didn't seem to know what he was doing. Had not much idea how to get us out and made little effort to coordinate our recovery. Vehicle had no recovery gear, not even a shovel. Towing strap would not fit the tow point which was obstructed by the conversion to 4 WD. Driver and the Company should not have allowed such an ill equipped vehicle and driver out in a remote area with little regard for safety.

Tour guide was very informative. Scenery was beautiful at Palm Valley but getting rescued when the bus got bogged on the very rough road on the way out put a dampener on the day. Proper equipment should have been on board
