Uluru and Kata Tjuta Escape

Welcome to the Red Center of Australia! When you land at Ayers Rock Airport, make your way to the front of the terminal for a complimentary transfer to the hotel.

This afternoon, visit the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Center to appreciate Anangu's culture and art. Then, travel around the base of Uluru with your Driver Guide, who provides insights into the various sacred sites and the flora and fauna native to this area. Take in the stunning rock formations as you walk to the Muṯitjulu Waterhole, one of the few permanent water sources in the area. Your day comes to a perfect end as you watch in awe the changing hues of Uluru at sunset with a glass of sparkling wine in hand. Sleep well tonight, as more adventure awaits in the next few days!

Note: To join the afternoon tour and use the complimentary airport shuttle, your flight must arrive in Uluru before 1:30 PM.

A day for exciting hikes and breathtaking outback scenery! Start your trip with a filling breakfast at Kings Creek Station and learn the stories behind its founding. Then, a steep climb up a series of stone steps takes you to the rim of the Canyon. Appreciate the desert landscape unfolding before your eyes as you make the 3-hour hike and soak up the gorgeous views along the way. Time permitting, walk to the Garden of Eden waterhole with your guide and have a moment of respite in this green oasis.

If you believe an easier, shorter walk is a better choice, the canyon floor, home to native plants and birdlife, makes a great half-day discovery. Recharge your energies with a delicious lunch (at your own expense) before returning to the hotel with fondness of this magical land filling your heart.

Rise early today for the sunrise at Uluru! With a cup of hot tea or coffee in hand, watch the rising sun turn the desert into a world of gold - a scene that will remain in your memories long after you return home. Afterward, travel to Kata Tjuta and stop en route at a viewing platform for a panorama of southern face of the 36 domes. Following a natural creek, walk through Walpa Gorge and capture beautiful photos of the towering stone formations.

Return to the hotel after the walk and enjoy the afternoon at leisure.

Discover the mesmerizing beauty of the Field of Light Uluru, a masterpiece by celebrated British artist Bruno Munro. Countless light spindles in colors of ochre, deep violet, blue, and gentle white blanket a space of more than seven football fields, creating a fantasy world of light. Be awed by this innovative display and fill your camera with pretty pictures of the lights against a backdrop of desert landscape.

Afterward, you will be taken to Ayers Rock Airport. With fond memories, board your flight home or to your next destination.
