Itinerary

Day 1 : Uluru

After meeting your Guide at the Ayers Rock Resort, we'll check out the Cultural Centre with coffee in hand, before we walk over to the main attraction, Uluru. Depending on how active you're feeling, you may choose to do the full base walk of Uluru which is around 10km. No two angles of the Rock are the same, and it's sheer size will leave you gobsmacked by the time you've lapped it. If you'd rather do a shorter walk follow the signs to the Mala Walk before strolling to the Mutitjulu Waterhole. In the evening, watch a spectacular Uluru sunset while enjoying some tasty snacks. Once the sun has set we'll drive on to our night's campsite for hot showers and a hearty dinner. Sleep in a permanent tent or in a swag (Aussie bedroll) under the stars. Note: Total driving time today is about 45 minutes. Total walking time will depend on which option you choose in the afternoon, approximately two to three hours.
