Rock and roll your way to Uluru for the best sunset and sunrise you’ll ever likely to see. Swap one natural wonder for another over these five days and see red...in the best possible way with the utterly stunning red rock landscapes. Stargaze, BBQ, climb up canyons and gaze at water holes. This is one outback trip you’ll never forget.

 

Itinerary

Day 1: Alice Springs to Uluru
We're hitting the red ground running as we take to the road and head into Yulara (the gateway resort to Uluru). We're off to visit the sacred monolith itself in the afternoon, with a guided walk on the cards. Later, raise a glass of bubbles as we watch the glow of the sunset morph through 50 shades of red. This will be a sunset for the books. Tonight, hone your Aussie BBQ skills and cook your own steak (or veggie burger). Welcome to Australia, mate.

Day 2: Uluru
Start your day with a breathtaking sunrise back at Uluru. Follow in the footsteps of the traditional owners of this sacred World Heritage site with a full base walk. Then, it’s a free day to explore this wonderful landscape. Take your pick from some of our optional activities to make the most of your time here. We’re talking camel rides (yes, really!), scenic flights and skydiving to get you going. Pretty awesome huh?

Day 3: Uluru to Kings Canyon
After breakfast, we spend a few hours back in the National Park. This time get ready for some soul searching as we venture into the heart of sacred Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and walk amongst the 36 red sandstone giants through the Valley of the Winds. After a drive into Watarrka National Park, live the life of a jolly swagman as we sleep under the stars in custom swags. Get ready for beautiful views of the night sky and drift off for the best night’s sleep ever!

Day 4: Kings Canyon to Alice Springs
Get your hiking boots on! This morning we start with the hardest part of the famous Rim Walk in Kings Canyon, aptly named ‘Heart Attack Hill’. But believe us, it’s worth the effort. Think age-old cycads, eroded dome shapes, a visit to The Lost City – and that's not even the best part. The sheltered valley and waterhole of the Garden of Eden make today even more awesome. After a stop for lunch, we’ll hit the road back to Alice Springs.
