Explore Kings Canyon in Comfort This Winter

If you’re planning a Northern Territory getaway, Kings Canyon is a must-see destination — and the Dry Season is the best time to visit. With mild daytime temperatures, low humidity, and clear skies, it’s the perfect season for hiking, sightseeing, and enjoying everything this unique part of Australia has to offer.

Located between Uluru and Alice Springs, Discovery Resorts – Kings Canyon is the ideal base to explore the area. With the heat turned down, you can comfortably tackle popular walks like the Rim Walk, a 6km loop that offers sweeping views, towering cliffs, and ancient rock formations. For something gentler, there’s the Kings Creek Walk or South Wall Return, both great ways to take in the landscape without the long climb.

Stay Comfortable and Make the Most of Your Visit

Back at the resort, comfort is a priority. Air-conditioned cabins and glamping tents help guests stay cool, while the onsite pool is a welcome spot to relax after time on the trails. Families can take advantage of the Junior Rangers program, which keeps younger travellers engaged with nature-focused activities during the school holidays.

If you’re visiting this winter, you’ll also be treated to the Light-Towers installation by internationally renowned artist Bruce Munro — a sound and light display that brings a new dimension to the Kings Canyon experience. Running throughout the Dry Season, this after-dark experience is just a short walk from the accommodation and makes for a unique evening activity under the stars.

Plan Ahead and Enjoy the Best of the Red Centre

Whether you’re road tripping through the NT or flying in for a Red Centre escape, visiting during the Dry Season makes for a smoother, more enjoyable trip. Trails are open, wildlife is active, and you’ll be able to make the most of early morning hikes, scenic drives, and relaxed afternoons.

Accommodation at Discovery Resorts – Kings Canyon can fill up quickly during peak months, so it’s worth booking ahead to secure your spot — especially if you’re travelling during school holidays. With a mix of adventure, comfort, and special seasonal experiences, there’s never been a better time to explore this incredible part of Australia.
