'My holiday to the Red Centre was a very humbling experience. This holiday exceeded all my expectations. Being my first holiday as a solo traveller I was apprehensive, now I have had the experience I recommend it.'
Sue, 51, Kyogle, NSW
'This trip was such a great adventure. The tour guide was absolutely brilliant and informative. The whole group got along famously even though there was a large age range! It was certainly one of the best experiences I've ever had!'
Lisa, 45, Coolum Beach, QLD
'Fantastic, well organised tour with a great group of people. Highly recommend Encounter Travel.'
Deb, 55, Wamberal, NSW
'In desperate need of a holiday, I sought a solo tour with a good deal of trepidation- as it transpired, it was my good fortune to choose Encounter Travel. Aided and abetted by a competent and knowledgable coach driver and a wonderful group of fellow travellers, I thoroughly relished my time in the Red Centre. Well done Encounter Travel, particularly for the pre- tour support that was afforded me.'
Peter McMahon, 66, Torquay, VIC
'The walks around Uluru (a few of us circumnavigated the rock) and the one around Kings Canyon rim will be most remembered, the whole trip was good.'
Ian, NSW
'An awesome holiday that I wish had never ended.'
Mike, WA
'This has been the best holiday I could ever have had! The group I was with couldn't have been better, we did so much in such a short time and I loved every second of it. I would recommend this to any single person wanting to travel.'

'This was my first time to the "Red Centre" and was delighted to see so much, not just Uluru and Alice Springs, but places I hadn't heard of, but were unique, beautiful and special. A real education with a wonderfully knowledgeable guide.'

Sue, 71 years, Forster, NSW
'This was the first time I had travelled with Encounter, doing the Red Centre Discovery tour in May 2021. It was a surreal experience, meeting lots of other solo travellers and seeing some amazing parts of our country. I would certainly recommend other solos to try these type of tours.'
Bronwyn, 64 years, Sydney, NSW
'Fabulous solos trip to the Red Centre, highly recommend it, if you haven't been, you must do it!! Beautiful landscapes, changing colours, fantastic rock formations, so different to anything I have ever done before, cannot compare to overseas locations, it is so so different and is the heart of our beautiful Australian country, cannot believe I have not seen it earlier. Covid has encouraged us to see our own country, and so we should!!!'
