About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 163ronaldl0 contributionsGreat Way to Visit Ayers RockThis was an excellent way to see Uluru without having to stay in Ayer’s Rock. The 450 km trip, each way, required a long five-and-a-half-hour ride in the bus. Our driver, Miguel, handled the job very professionally. Once we arrived in Ayer’s Rock Yad took over as our driver/guide and kept everyone on track. He was very good at telling us the story about the Aboriginal peoples and their relationship with Uluru. Our BBQ dinner, with drinks, was well organized and delicious. We all had time to enjoy our meal and drinks and take in sunset over Uluru.Written January 25, 2025
- R3170SGrichardw0 contributionsBeautiful viewsIt was a good trip just a long day. It was interesting to see the outback. The tour/driver had good information. The tour guide around Ayers Rick was good but sometimes hard to understand because if his accentWritten January 21, 2025
- T8274TEmarkg0 contributionsUluru up closeGreat fun. Well organized and a very knowledgeable guide in Yad. Got to experience Uluru up close with a very nice dinner at the conclusion.Written January 16, 2025
- GeorginaC5950 contributionsAlice to Uluru Sunset bbq day trip.I was so looking forward to visiting - I am an Aussie from Adelaide. And it did not disappoint! Whilst a really long day I knew that in advance. The guide (John) was great with the right mix of humour, storytelling and facts. The bus was cramped leg room and not ideal for the length of trip is the only negative. The water, snacks and bbq sunset dinner was awesome. Not once did I feel rushed. Uluru was amazing and the information and time to walk around parts of the rock and touch it, pictures and little waterfalls was well worth it. Sunset bbq I bought some local art (they have payid!) but prefer cash. Amazing talent. Bbq as I said was great, some cold beers, wine, soft drink. Awesome vantage point, great pics. Loved it and so glad to visit this special and unique place.Written December 21, 2024
- Yabz141019990 contributionsGreat tourTour guide was very informative and the BBQ and drinks were lovely! It's a good tour to do out of season. My tour guide was a bit lack luster with how he spoke so it wasn't as engaging for those who weren't that interested like myself.Written December 16, 2024
- Rowlandsl770 contributionsA great half day tour and sunset BBQWe had a fantastic tour with Yad in our small group. He picked us up promptly from our accommodation and kept us informed of the itinerary throughout the day. We went on two walks and Yad gave interesting and knowledgeable talks about the history of the rock and the areas of it which we were visiting. We were provided with water and a snack after the walks then spent an hour at the cultural centre before heading to the viewing area for the sunset BBQ. We had steak, sausages, a variety of salads and lamingtons for dessert whilst the sun set. Local Anangu women sell dot canvas paintings at the viewing area so bring some cash if you would like to buy one. Beware that the sunset area gets very busy - numerous coach tours turn up at sunset - but everyone gets a good view of the sunset. It was a great tour to do with our four year old as we saw the highlights of Uluru butwas back at the hotel at 7pm.Written December 12, 2024
- Z9665WHrodrigoa0 contributionsCancelled for Bad Weather Conditions ? I can not believe it.The tour was cancelled by the operator Emu Run the day before according to the their phone call for Bad Weather Conditions forecasted for next day (Dec 10). In my opinion this only was an excuse because the weather was excellent sunny days before and after scheduled day, only some high temperatures as usual in summer.Written December 12, 2024
- scottn9490 contributionsAmazing fun dayA few things to say... They are super professional and their busses are modern. It is a 4.5 hour drive each way, so I got back to Alice Springs at 1 AM, but so worth it. The Rock is beautiful and their guide took us all around it stopping at interesting spots to walk around. Shortly before sunset they have everything set up for a huge BBQ, we have steak.Written December 7, 2024
- Camper327436161990 contributionsHighly RecommendedUluru was at the top of my bucket list for our visit to Australia. This tour did not disappoint. After lunch and shopping on our own at Yulara, we made several stops to see the water hole and other points of interest. The guide was very informative and gave clear information about how strenuous the various activities were. He also told us which side of Uluru is most sacred to the aboriginal people and asked us to refrain from photographing it. After the tour, the guides turned into chefs and prepared our BBQ of steaks and sausages. It was delicious! The sunset views were magnificent!!! This trip makes for a long day (7 a.m. pickup and 1 a.m. drop off) from Alice Springs, but there’s no question that we would highly recommend it.Written November 29, 2024
- redsgothenburg0 contributionsA good introduction to Central Australia.We enjoyed our day in the West MacDonnell ranges. It afforded us a flavour of Central Australia. The stops were frequent and varied, and Sebastian did a good job of talking us through the history, culture and geography of the region.Written November 24, 2024

- alisharp8500 contributionsA great tripGreat day out. Although a long day it is well worth it. We had a hiccup on the way there but this was dealt with and we continued to enjoy our trip. Well done to Miguel :) All staff were amazing and knowledgeable adding to the day. The weather was a bit grey but this did not detract from our enjoyment. A great BBQ to finish the day and watch the sun set. Would highly recommend.Written November 9, 2024
- 610galw0 contributionsAmazing day trip, truly Australian experienceAmazing experience! Great views and exceptional guidance, highly recommended! Uluru is a truly magnificent place and I was very happy with my choice, only thing I’d recommend is to consider combining the Kata Tjutas as well, which we only saw from the road. Sunset BBQ was a great way to finish the day with amazing outback sceneries and naturally the rock itself. Be prepared for long rides to and from Alice Springs, approximately 5 hours each directionWritten November 6, 2024
- 490KarenC0 contributionsA perfect day in UluruWe had a wonderful day! For my first experience of Uluru up close, it was perfect! Yad, our tour guide was so knowledge and he could answer any questions the small group had. We visited two easier access sites which made it a very inclusive tour too. Emu Run tours are lucky to have Yad on their team! We were also lucky as there were very few flies! I would definitely check out other Emu Run Tours next trip. Thank you Yad, we appreciated your knowledge and support on the day. Karen & ChiaraWritten November 3, 2024
- ntraas0 contributionsUluru was impressiveNice outdoors tour to see the famous Uluru. It's a long drive from Alice Springs (5h) with multiple rest stops on the way. Uluru itself was impressive. The BBQ contained steaks, (vega) sausages, vegtables and multiple choices of drinks. Expect to be back in Alice Springs at 00:30. Pickup was on time. Friendly guide (Yad)Written November 2, 2024

Group of 8 completed private transfer from Uluru to Alice Springs and well worth it (was only slightly more expensive than if we caught the normal AAT service but the departure time was more conducive to our trip). A couple of scheduled stops along the way and Clyde, our driver, did an excellent job. Picked us up on time and delivered us to our accommodation on time. Could thoroughly recommend to anyone.

And also bus depart from uluru and arrived at Alice springs as per promised 5 hours. 2 time break for toilet. Thank you emu experience! You’re the best.

We were not collected but left at the airport. We eventually travelled to our accommodation by taxi which in the end cost less. When questioned next day they told us that the driver checked for us but couldn't find us. We were there! Even though a phone number was provided to them they did not contact us but treated us as a no show. This service is unreliable and is not cost efficient.

The driver was lovely however
The toilet was broken with urine all through the bus.
No attempt was made to clean the bus. We didn't know urine was on the bus and our belongings got wet plus we became sick after breathing in urine flumes for the 6.5 hour journey

Were not heavily impressed with them and booked the return transfer with the competitor company for a much better value: Yes, more expensive but therefore you get what is advertised and a stress free journey cause they care.
Here: late bus, minimal commentary, advertised features that were not included. Overall a boring too expensive transfer.

My daughter got to choose the destination of this trip - Uluṟu was a pleasant surprise and we will return - it was a cultural, geological,anthropological and spiritual journey
I am so proud to have visited on the lands of Mala people and recognise the First Nations and indigenous lands we were
Privileged to visit - the bright blue skies, the red rock and the multitude of activities were a joy

Transfer to Alice Springs was good, with enough stops. The drivers were good but they looked exhausted!! They helped with our bags and picked us up at a different hotel because we had so many bags. Most appreciated. Only problem was another transfer we booked for a trip and they set the transfer time so late that we would miss our check-in. We had to cancel as they wouldn't bring it forward and they wouldn't give a refund. Because of that I wouldn't use them again.
