Welcome to Australia’s Red Centre! Upon arrival at Ayers Rock Airport, you’ll be greeted by your Driver Guide at the terminal and enjoy a complimentary transfer to your hotel (for flights landing before 13:30).

After checking in, head to the Uluru–Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre to gain insight into Anangu culture and artistic traditions. Later, journey around the base of Uluru with your Driver Guide, learning about sacred sites as well as the region’s unique plants and wildlife. Admire the dramatic rock scenery during a walk to Muṯitjulu Waterhole, one of the area’s rare permanent water sources. End the day on a magical note as Uluru glows with shifting colors at sunset, accompanied by a glass of sparkling wine. Rest well tonight—exciting adventures await in the days ahead.

  • Uluru

Today is filled with memorable walks and striking outback views. Begin with a hearty breakfast at Kings Creek Station, where you’ll also hear stories about its origins and life in this remote region. Afterwards, tackle the steep stone steps leading up to the canyon rim. During the approximately 3-hour walk, take in sweeping desert panoramas and admire the dramatic landscapes stretching out in every direction. If time allows, continue to the tranquil Garden of Eden waterhole with your guide and enjoy a peaceful pause in this lush sanctuary.

For those preferring a gentler option, the shorter canyon floor walk offers an excellent alternative, winding through areas rich in native vegetation and birdlife. After the walk, enjoy a tasty lunch at your own expense to recharge, then return to the hotel, carrying lasting impressions of this extraordinary outback landscape.

Afterwards, continue to Kata Tjuta, pausing at a lookout to admire sweeping views of the southern side of the 36 domes. Walk alongside a natural creek into Walpa Gorge, where massive rock walls rise dramatically on either side, offering wonderful photo opportunities.

After the walk, return to your hotel and take time to relax and enjoy its facilities. Later in the afternoon, head out once more to experience another desert sunset, followed by a memorable BBQ dinner near the base of Uluru.
