    I only had the one day to see KG and it was a long one. On the bus a majority of the time, for a 1.5 hour stop at Edith Falls,( that's 30 min to walk there and 30 min to walk back and if you have slower guests-overall during the morning- it can cut down your time at the falls for a swim), and 1.5 hours on the boat to see the gorge.It was worth it for me ( just stunning) however, most your time is spent sitting on the bus. Tour guides on bus and boat were really good in terms of their knowledge of the area and telling interesting facts and stories. Stops for meals were provided-basic fare. Bus has an esky to store and keep food cool if you want to take your own, as well as a water supply to top up your bottles. Bathroom breaks offered. 12 seater Bus had air conditioning and the boat had a roof, which was appreciated in the heat. Hike to Edith falls is an immediate quick elevation but then becomes a more gentle incline that leads to a bit of a rock scramble down to the falls. Need some level of fitness-tricky for the less mobile.
