Ochre Sightseeing Pass – Uluru Sunrise and Sunset, Valley of the Winds and More!

The Ochre Pass consists of 4 tours that you can enjoy within 3 days. The tours are:

Uluru Morning Guided Base Walk:

You will be picked up from your hotel or a common meeting point at the scheduled time in the morning. Travel to the iconic Uluru and start the day with a light breakfast. Explore the base of the Uluru with an expert guide in tow (approximately 10.5 kms). Starting at Kuniya Piti, hear the legend of the Mala Men.

Next is 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.

Break for some time before continuing on along the Lungkata Walk where your guide will tell you the Tjukurpa story of the cheeky Blue Tongue Lizard! Next stop is the Mutitjulu Waterhole, a tranquil pool at the foot of the breathtaking folds of the Uluru.

Your guide will indicate the natural features of the landscape, Aboriginal rock paintings and narrate more stories and local legends to you. The waterhole was once an important water source for the Anangu people.
