Your Uluru Itinerary
Ancient Domes & a Red Centre Sunset
Passengers departing from Alice Springs will be picked up at 6am before taking the 4.5-hour drive towards Yulara for an early lunch.
Passengers departing from Yulara or Ayers Rock Airport will be picked up between 1.45 and 2pm. If you are departing from Yulara or Ayers Rock Airport, please have lunch prior to your pick up and be ready with walking shoes on and easy access to hat, sunscreen and water bottle.
After a short drive, arrive at Kata Tjuta (The Olga’s). Its 36 domes are of various sizes and provide quite a contrast to Uluru. You’ll get to know the landscape well on the Walpa Gorge Walk between the domes. As the evening unfolds, head to the sunset viewing area and enjoy a light snack as the sun slowly sets, casting various earthy tones across Uluru. The perfect end to a remarkable day awaits you back at camp as you enjoy a delicious spread of food with your group. If the weather permits, sit outside under the stars.

Sunrise, Rock Art & the Road to Kings Canyon
An early start this morning is rewarded with an Uluru sunrise. Your guide will take you to one of the significant cultural sights of Uluru, outlining Anangu rock art and passing on one of the site’s creation stories. Enjoy a self-guided, full base walk around Uluru. Once you’ve had lunch, visit the Cultural Centre, and view hand-crafted art by local First Nation Peoples of the Western and Central Deserts. Travel onto our exclusive campsite near the Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon), where the group will have dinner and enjoy the stars.

Canyon Walls & a Second Red Centre Sunset
The main attraction of Watarrka National Park is undoubtedly Kings Canyon – a huge gorge enclosed by sheer rock walls many meters high. Your guide will point these out on a trek that takes in the canyon’s most famous locations, such as the Lost City, the Garden of Eden, the Amphitheatre, and, of course, the North & South Walls of the canyon.
After lunch, we hit the road again and make the 3-hour journey back to Yulara, arriving at around 5pm, with the remainder the evening free to relax or enjoy optional activities (at additional cost), or if you’d like to experience the Uluru sunset from a different perspective (and free of charge), tonight is the opportunity to do it!

Keep the Adventure Going
Few places leave a mark like the Red Centre, with its glowing rock, endless horizons and star-filled skies. If you have a few days spare, we’d recommend staying on to soak up a little more of the Outback.
Ready for your next Aussie adventure? Your trip doesn’t have to end here! Swap the red sand for rugged beaches and ancient gorges on the West Coast, chase waterfalls and crocodiles on a Top End expedition, discover the wild wilderness and epic wildlife of Tasmania or hop across the ditch to New Zealand for glaciers, glowworms and geysers. You can add these on during the check-out process or speak to one of our Travel Consultants to find out more.
Heading home? We hope you’ve had the best experience in the Red Centre! You’ll head home with memories to last a lifetime, new friendships that span the globe and plenty of red dust in your bag.
