Kings Canyon Information

Situated within the untamed wilderness of Watarrka National Park Kings Canyon is starkly beautiful, its red rock formations creating a mysterious landscape of sheer rock faces, waterfalls, beehive-like domes of burnished red stone, and ancient sea bed resplendent with marine fossils of a bygone millennia.

Meander up the centre of the canyon to a look out point for unparalleled views of sheer cliff face or take the magnificent Kings Canyon Rim Walk; after an exhilarating 500 step climb to the top, reward yourself with breathtaking views of the park, before you head deep into the canyon and descend into the green oasis of the Garden of Eden.

At the end of day, relax at Voyages Kings Canyon Resort, the perfect oasis from which to explore the wonders of Kings Canyon, located just 7km from the spectacular sandstone formation. Staying at the closest accommodation to Kings Canyon will allow you to make the most of sightseeing opportunities.
