The Outback and its attractions may be big, but that doesn’t mean you need a lot of time to see them. This trip, which starts and finishes at Yulara (near the Ayers Rock Airport), makes it possible to see the region’s best-known attractions in a short amount of time. See Uluru up-close, navigate the boulder-strewn landscape of Kata Tjuta, and discover the Garden of Eden on the Rim Walk through Kings Canyon. The Outback’s never been so accessible.

Uluru, Kata Tjuta, and Kings Canyon in only three nights.

Itinerary

Day 1: Uluru

Uluru is the heart of Australia and represents so much about this country; its size, its beauty, and its culture. Shortly after you arrive, the unmistakable Uluru will emerge from the earth as one giant boulder. Walk off your lunch at Kata Tjuta. With its 36 various-sized domes, it provides quite a contrast to Uluru. You’ll get to know the landscape pretty well on an afternoon hike between the domes.

As the evening unfolds, enjoy a light snack as the sun slowly sets, casting a variety of earthy tones across Uluru. The perfect end to a remarkable day is awaiting you back at camp, as you enjoy a delicious spread of food with your group. If the weather permits, sit outside under the stars.

Day 2: Uluru Sunrise Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon

An early start this morning is rewarded with an Uluru sunrise, and the sun hits the icon like a beacon, before it floods across the undulating landscape. While the morning is fresh, enjoy a walk around the base of Uluru, taking in all of the textures and valleys that aren’t evident from afar. Once you’ve had lunch, perhaps purchase some art and craft created by the First Peoples of Australia, at the Cultural Centre. Travel onto our exclusive campsite near Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon), where the group will eat and sleep in your swag under the stars.

Uluru Cultural Centre

Special Information

The total driving time today is around 3.5 hours. Total walking time is approximately 2.5 hours (or up to 3.5 if you do the full 10-kilometer base walk).

Uluru is considered a living cultural landscape and home to the spirits of the ancestors, making it a sacred place for the Anangu people. The Anangu people have dissuaded visitors from climbing Uluru for decades; as traditional owners of the land, they feel a deep responsibility for everyone who travels to the area. In 1998, Adventure Tours Australia was among the first tour operators to stop climbing Uluru. We are proud to be involved with local communities in Uluru, and to have an ongoing commitment to contributing to employment for the Anangu people.

Day 3: Kings Canyon Rim Walk

The main attraction of Watarrka National Park is undoubtedly Kings Canyon, a humungous gorge enclosed by sheer rock walls many meters high. With its porous sandstone, deep gullies, and hidden rock pools, it provides shelter to more than 600 species of native plants and animals. Your guide will point these out on a trek that takes in the canyon’s most famous locations: the Lost City, the Garden of Eden, the Amphitheatre, and of course the North and South Walls.

After lunch, we hit the road again for a three-hour drive to Yulara in the late afternoon. Tonight, you have the choice to enjoy one of the following optional activities; a Sunset Camel Cruise, the Field of Lights, the Sounds of Silence, or the Wintjiri Wiru Drone display; If you’d like to experience the Uluru sunset from a different perspective (and free of charge), tonight is the opportunity to do it! After dinner, relax at your camp for a night under the stars.
