Karrke Cultural Experience - I recommend this cultural experience really highly. I visited with a group, and Natasha and Peter shared with us the many aspects of their local First Nations culture, from bush tucker, weapons, medicine and much more. They were generous with their knowledge and I loved every moment.

Cultural Tour - We did this cultural tour as part of our guided walk in NT. It did not disappoint. Peter and his family/team were so very welcoming, knowledgeable and patient, talking us through many traditions of the traditional owners of this magnificent land. Highly recommended - just do it. Palya.

100% must do for the whole family. - If you are going up to Kings Canyon this is a MUST do. Peter and Tash are terrific. Super factual, very engaging, happy to answer questions. It’s the best cultural tour to do.

A must-do addition to your Kings Canyon trip! - What a great introduction to local indigenous culture! Bushtucker, art, medicine, tools and weaponry. Delivered eloquently by Peter and Natasha, traditional owners from within the park. A must do addition to your Kings Canyon trip!

This tour provides an appreciation of the indigenous culture of the centre that will enhance your trip - This is an outstanding introduction to the Kings Canyon area from an Indigenous stand point. It would be great for kids and would be physically comfortable for those less mobile. Natasha and Peter were fantastic guides, so well informed and great communicators. We learnt so much about the culture of the local indigenous groups that really added to our appreciation of the central desert. It was money really well spent and one of the best tours I have been on. After an explanation and demonstration on each section - plants, tools/weapons, jewellery, art, Natasha or Peter would answer questions really thoroughly and there was the opportunity to closely look at, touch, smell etc all the objects - the most fascinating was learning how to find a witchetty grub in a root or branch and then holding it (we opted not to eat it!). Marvellous!

Yes, the drive is long and unpaved, and its worth every making - Had we skipped Uluru (no sane person skips Uluru) this experience alone would have been worth the drive from Alice to Uluru (Karrke in Kings Canyon is roughly halfway). A wonderful, eye-opening presentation from people who are truly experts informed by both research and a lifetime of experience.

Authentic Karrke Aboriginal Experience - Natasha and Peter are wonderful, engaging guides/tutors. They share their knowledge of the Karrke culture; from hunting, food, plants, way of life, making a home, making hunting tools, jewellery. Explain the history of Aboriginal Art and so much more. Plenty of time for questions and photos. Highly recommend this experience, don't be put off by the price, just do this if you visit the Kings Creek area, you will not regret it.
