TOUR ITINERARY: 1 DAY ULURU TOUR

Our professional tour guides show you the real outback on this one day tour.

  • EARLY MORNING

Starting your tour in Alice Springs? We will collect you from outside your Alice Springs accommodation and head to the first stop of our day tour at Erldunda (home of the Emu) where you can purchase breakfast.

  • LATE MORNING

If you’re starting your tour from Ayers Rock Resort, we collect you from your Ayers Rock Resort accommodation.

  • EARLY AFTERNOON

Aboriginal Cultural Centre

Your tour then visits the Aboriginal Cultural Centre. Here, you will have time to learn about the local Pitjantjatjara people and buy souvenirs.

Built from 90,000 mud bricks, the Cultural Centre was created with the help of the local Anangu people. The sacred site it is built on has special meaning to its traditional owners.

  • MID-LATE AFTERNOON

Uluru – Mala Walk

Head to the base of the majestic Uluru (Ayers Rock). From here, your tour guide will take you on a guided Mala Walk. Please note; tourists are no longer permitted to climb Uluru due to its cultural significance.

The Mala Walk follows the north-west side of Uluru, where you will see many fascinating examples of Anangu rock art. Along the way, your guide will tell ancient stories of the Anangu People.

Uluru – Mutitjulu Waterhole

Travel by coach to the back section of Uluru and start a guided walk to the Mutitjulu Waterhole.

Your guide will take you along a short track to the waterhole – home of an ancestral water snake called Wanampi. You’ll hear stories of local traditions and learn how the Anangu people traditionally used the waterhole for hunting. The caves containing rock art were used in the past by the Anangu people, whose ancestors are still alive today.

  • SUNSET

The Sunset BBQ

This is an unforgettable Australian experience and something everyone should visit Uluru for at least once in their lives.
