You will be picked up from your Alice Springs Accommodation and taken for this tour in an air conditioned mini coach.

Heading straight to our Yulara permanent campsite for lunch, the afternoon is then spent exploring Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), before travelling to Uluru (Ayers Rock) to take in a spectacular sunset. Later we return to camp for a traditional Aussie meal. After dinner, relax around the camp, under starry desert skies. Stay at Ayers Rock Resort Permanent Campsite.

Early rise for an exciting morning with breathtaking views of sunrise at Uluru (Ayers Rock), a World Heritage listed area.

For those who really must tackle the 1.6km climb, you will also have the chance. This afternoon, travel through red sand dune and desert oak country to Kings Creek Cattle Station where optional activities are abundant. Tonight, try a traditional camp oven dinner, cooked in the coals of the fire.

Stay the night at Kings Creek Permanent Campsite.
