Uluru Tours

Uluru Sunset Tours

Uluru Sunset Tour ($109, 2hrs, Large Coach): pickup from accommodation at Ayers Rock Resort, then guided to the best viewing spot with sparkling wine and nibbles while the rock changes colour. The iron oxide in the sandstone reflects differently as the sun drops, shifting from orange to deep red to purple at dusk. Good for visitors who want the experience without committing to a half-day.

Uluru Sunset and Sacred Sites from the Rock ($209, Best Seller, 3 reviews): the premium half-day. Covers Mutitjulu Waterhole, Anangu stories about the sacred sites, the Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre, and then the sunset. Departs from Ayers Rock Resort and camping areas.

Uluru Sunrise Tours

Early morning pickup from Ayers Rock Resort, sunrise viewing at Talinguru Nyakunytjaku, tea and coffee included, then a walk through Kata Tjuta’s Walpa Gorge and a visit to the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre. The golden-hour light before the desert heat builds is worth the early start. Kid-friendly, suits families staying at the resort.
