Itinerary
When you arrive at Ayers Rock Airport, make your way to the front of the airport terminal for the transfer to your hotel.
This afternoon visit Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park for an afternoon of discovery. Visit the Cultural Centre where you'll have time to explore the galleries and you may be lucky enough to see local Aboriginal Artists at work.
Travel to the base of Uluru where you'll be amazed as your local guide shares the Aboriginal Tjukurpa (creation) stories that breathe life into this giant formation. Feel the spirit of the land as your guide takes you on a walk to Mutitjulu Waterhole, interpreting the meaning of the ancient Rock Art and sacred sites you'll see along the way.
With plenty of time, travel to the Uluru Sunset Viewing Area where you can relax with a sparkling wine or two while you enjoy a famous Uluru sunset. Witness the incredible changing colours as the sun sets below the horizon. 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, and will also explain some Aboriginal stories that relate to the stars. (D) Stay: Sails in the Desert Hotel
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 you enjoy 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. Return to Ayers Rock Resort in time for lunch where your Short Break comes to an end.
