Overview
Itinerary
On arrival at Ayers Rock Airport you'll be transferred to the resort (flights to arrive prior to 3.00pm). Travel to the Uluru sunset viewing area. 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 famous. You'll be overwhelmed by its incredible size, presence and inherent spirituality. Why not enrich your experience with an exclusive AAT Kings Uluru BBQ Dinner? Contact our team to find out more. Stay: Outback Hotel & Lodge, Desert Gardens Hotel or Sails in the Desert Hotel, Ayers Rock (2 nights)
Rise early this morning to travel to Kata Tjuta where your Driver Guide will explain the geological history of the area. Watch the spectacular sunrise over Kata Tjuta with Uluru in the distance from the western dune viewing area, light breakfast included. Your Driver Guide will then escort you on a 2-3 hour walk to the Valley of the Winds lookout. Marvel at the unique flora and admire the view of the central valley of the domes of Kata Tjuta. (B)
Rise early to travel to the base of Uluru with your Drive Guide to commence your base walk of Uluru as sunrise approaches. First walk from Kuniya Piti, an Uluru sacred site and hear the Tjukurpa story (beliefs and law of the local Aboriginal people, the Anangu) 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. After a short rest break, continue 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. Your guide will indicate the natural features of the landscape, Aboriginal rock paintings and relay more traditional stories relating to this special place. The waterhole was once an important water source for the Anangu people. Your last section to complete your base walk is back to Kuniya Piti, where you will board your coach and return to Ayers Rock Resort. You'll be transferred to Ayers Rock Airport for your onward flight. Flights to depart Ayers Rock after 12:45pm (Oct-Mar) and 1:45pm (Apr-Sep). (B)
