Red Centre Active Adventure (Standard with BBQ Dinner) - 01 Apr 2026 to 31 Mar 2027

When you arrive at Ayers Rock Airport, make your way to the front of the airport terminal for your complimentary transfer to your hotel. Late afternoon you'll be driven to the Uluru Sunset Viewing Area*. Stroll around the viewing area to discover your own spot to witness this magical event. Enjoy sparkling wine as the sun sets over the western horizon and the evening sky brings out the many shades of colour for which Uluru is renowned. After sunset continue to our exclusive venue for a BBQ dinner, with Uluru as your backdrop. You'll wonder at the scale of Uluru at night on the only evening experience inside Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Relax in the company of friends and fellow travellers and enjoy sparkling wine on arrival. Dine on favourites from the grill and a selection of freshly prepared salads, followed by a tasty dessert. There's even time for star gazing. Your Guide will conduct a tour of the night sky, pointing out some of the visible constellations. *If you wish to take home Aboriginal artwork, please ensure you have cash for your purchases. Please note the purchase of artwork is not always possible as the Anangu may be absent for cultural reasons.

This morning rise early to travel to the base of Uluru accompanied by your driver/guide, commence the Uluru Base walk at Sunrise. Beginning at Kuniya Piti, a sacred site, hear the Tjukurpa (Anangu – the local Aboriginal people - beliefs and law) story of the Mala Men. Continue anti-clockwise around Uluru to the Mala Walk, one of the most important habitation areas for the local Aboriginal people over thousands of years. The Mala walk includes a visit into Kantju Gorge, where after rainfall, water can cascade over the side of Uluru and plunge some 90 metres. After a short rest enjoy a light breakfast before continuing to the Lungkata Walk where your guide will tell you the Tjukurpa story of the cheeky Blue Tongue Lizard! Next stop is the Mutitjulu Waterhole, once an important water source for the Anangu people. Your guide will indicate the natural features of the landscape, Aboriginal rock paintings and relay more traditional stories relating to this special place. Finally walk back to Kuniya Piti where your walk began and board your air-conditioned coach back for the short trip back to Ayers Rock Resort.

Travel from Ayers Rock Resort to Kings Canyon, stopping for breakfast (included) along the way. Make the rocky climb to the rim of the canyon for marvellous views of Watarrka National Park. Follow the rim of the canyon stopping to look down into the canyon gorge at look-out points. Time permitting, you may choose to descend into the green oasis of the 'Garden of Eden'. The circuit walk takes approximately 3 hours to complete and is rocky and steep in parts. It is recommended for those with a good level of fitness. Alternatively, you may wish to take an easier, shorter walk to explore the boulder strewn canyon floor. After lunch (own expense), return to Ayers Rock Resort.

Rise early this morning to travel to Talinguru Nyakunytjaku, the Uluru Sunrise Viewing Area. Watch the first rays of sun light up the desert while enjoying a warming cup of tea or coffee. After sunrise travel to the mystical 36 domes of Kata Tjuta. On the way, enjoy panoramic views of the southern side of Kata Tjuta at a dune viewing platform before arriving at Walpa Gorge. Spend some time exploring the gorge and the unusual conglomerate rock formations. The 1.3km walking trail through Walpa Gorge follows the natural creek between two of the tallest domes of Kata Tjuta.
