4 Day Ayers Rock & Surrounds from Uluru to Uluru Itinerary

Day One (Dinner)

Your exciting four-day adventure wil begin with a short drive towards Uluru. You will be able to see it towering in the distance as we make our way to Kata Tjuta (The Olga’s). Here, you can explore the landscape on an afternoon hike around the domes of this landmark.

In the evening, we wil have a light snack and enjoy the sunset above Uluru. We will then head to our campsite where we will enjoy a delicious dinner before setting up camp under the stars.

The second day of this tour will begin with an early morning start. We’ll enjoy a colourful sunrise as it lights up Uluru and the surrounding landscapes. Then, we will make our way to the towering monolith itself. Your expert guide will tell you about some of the rock art before you set off on a base walk.

In the early afternoon you will have time to enjoy lunch before visiting the Cultural Centre. Here, you have the option to purchase some souvineers of hand-crafted items created by local First Nations Peoples of the Western and Central Deserts. In the evening we will head to the campsite near Kings Canyon and enjoy dinner before resting up for another day of adventure.

The third day begins with a hike around Kings Canyon. This incredible landmark is full of deep gullies, hidden rock pools, and a wide range of native flora and fauna. Your guide will point out some of the magnificent sights as you trek through the canyon.

After lunch, we will begin the three-hour drive to Yulara. In the evening, you will have free time to enjoy a separate activity or admire the Uluru sunset with the group.

We will then regroup and tuck in for your final evening spent sleeping under the stars.

Day Four (Breakfast)
