Review of Emu Run’s Uluru day trip from Alice Springs, with cultural walks, sunset BBQ, sparkling wine, comfort stops, and practical advice.
“Yad, Tilo, and Miguel were phenomenal tour guides, who assembled a barbeque that catered for vegans, vegetarians, and muslims; which was also very tasty and healthy. The tour was very well organised, and time management was impecable. The sunset that was cast over Ayers Rock was absolutely breathtaking. This was by far one of the best tours I've been on to date. A huge thank you to the Emu Tours Team. Leverne Cummins.”

Watch Uluru change color at sunset, enjoy wine and a gourmet BBQ, then hear Aboriginal star stories beneath the southern sky.
“Such an amazing experience watching the Uluru change colour during the sunset! The bbq dinner was great too, had a delicious steak accompanied by other veg and salad etc. the only thing that could’ve been better was the communication between the bus driver and the tour operator. We weren’t told about the cheese board and wine until we had 10-15 minutes left of the sunset viewing which was annoying but overall a fun tour. Jessie was an amazing tour guide when we eventually found out who our guide was.”

“Excellent bus driver Lee kept us informed of local knowledge of Darwin . Matt kept us entertained on the water with his experience and knowledge of crocodiles and then kept us enthralled as he fed the monster crocs at the pens. Making it look like he was going to lose a leg to speedy. And Jake also kept us informed with his knowledge and experience with crocs and his impeccable driving of the air boat.

Sean also took great photos of us and the animals, which was a big plus. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. I can highly recommend Vivator and would book another tour with Sean anytime.”
