If you are short on time and don't have a car this is the perfect tour for you! You get to see both sites, as well as a lovely BBQ at sunset (with beer, wine or bubbles, a big plus). The walks were a little sweaty in the heat but are a max 1hr each so very manageable. Yad was our amazing driver / tour guide / chef - a bit thanks to him :) Be warned the flies can get very annoying, so a fly net is worth bringing. Also we got unlucky on the day that the cafe shop at the cultural centre had closed early so there was no option to buy extra bits there, so bring spare snacks etc. Although there was plenty of water as well as sweets and apples on the bus.

it was the most amazing experience we had in Urulu. We respect this sacred unique place a lot. Glen our guide was fantastic, and our driver Greg also was super helpful. It was memorable, unforgettable evening.

We really enjoyed the tour, John and Jakob made it extra special with their good sense of humour and overall kindness. The landscape is absolutely amazing and you just feel awed of such Beauty. So majestic!!

This is a great one day tour of both the monuments in the park, with easy hikes and a lot of information.

Great way to see and Experience this magical area.
