DAY 3 Tour from Alice Springs to Uluru (Ayers Rock) with Uluru Sunset Experience & Special Uluru Dinner

Uluru, the sacred monolith at the heart of Australia's Red Centre, is a place of spiritual reverence and natural wonder. Surrounded by an endless expanse of ochre sands, Uluru rises majestically from the ancient earth, its vibrant hues transforming with the shifting sunlight. Each day, the breathtaking spectacle of sunrise and sunset cast a fiery glow upon the rock. Here, you'll connect with the profound spirituality of the Anangu people, the traditional custodians of this land. Amidst the vastness of the landscapes, a unique sense of solitude and inspiration abounds, inviting a deep appreciation for the timeless beauty of the Australian outback.

This morning we set off from Alice Springs, venturing into the rugged, untamed beauty of the Red Centre’s vast desert landscapes. We pass through “The Gap” in the stunning MacDonnell Ranges - the ancient, weathered grandeur standing as silent witnesses to eons of time - and learn about some unique Australian desert flora and fauna such as the Perentie, the Thorny Devil and the Red Kangaroo. Stop at a quintessential outback roadhouse and view Atila (Mt. Conner) as we travel through Curtin Springs Station. Arrive at your accommodation in Yulara where we prepare ourselves for the awe-inspiring Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.

This afternoon, we visit the Uluru – Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre - explore the galleries or perhaps see local Aboriginal Artists at work. At the base of Uluru we listen to Aboriginal Tjukurpa (creation) stories that breathe life into this giant formation. Feel the ancient spirit of the land come alive as our guide leads us on a fascinating walk to Mutitjulu Waterhole, interpreting the meaning of the ancient Rock Art and sacred sites along the way.

This evening, experience the magic of an Uluru sunset followed by a spectacular Special Uluru Dinner. Find your own tranquil space to witness the breathtaking spectacle as day melds into twilight, and the vibrant hues of Uluru transform beneath the suns’ afternoon rays. Delight in sparkling wine, complemented by delectable nibbles, enhancing your connection with the immense beauty before you.

Once the sun has dipped below the horizon, we enjoy our Special Uluru Dinner. Surrounded by red sand dunes and desert oak trees, this serene desert location offers an unobstructed view of the southern sky and the full silhouette of Uluru. At this idyllic spot, savour a selection of succulent Australian meats and fresh salads, accompanied by your choice of wine, beer or juice, followed by tea, coffee and dessert. Under the vast, starlit canvas of the outback sky, your guide will unravel the mysteries of the night. Using a high beam spotlight - be introduced to the brilliance of the southern constellations (weather permitting) and ancient Aboriginal stories that intertwine with the night sky.

DAY 4 Tour Kata Tjuta (Olgas)

Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) is a sacred and awe-inspiring site – where massive, ancient rock formations rise dramatically from the surrounding desert, each one bearing the weight of millennia of history and Indigenous culture. The 36 ochre domes that make up Kata Tjuta are an incredible sight and cover an area of some 20 km – linked by a maze of walking and hiking tracks of varying difficulty. At sunrise and sunset the domes take on a magical appearance as they turn a deep shade of red, transforming the landscape into a fiery, otherworldly wonderland.

This morning we journey to the mystical 36 domes of Kata Tjuta (Olgas). We pause to bask in the breathtaking panorama that extends before us at a magical dune viewing platform on the southern side of Kata Tjuta and then immerse ourselves in the captivating presence of Walpa Gorge. Meander along the path which winds through the gorge and creek between two of the tallest domes of Kata Tjuta – a moving experience.

We return to Ayers Rock Resort around lunchtime, where the afternoon is yours to relax and enjoy. Perhaps stretch out by the pool or engage in one of the fascinating free activities on offer at the resort. Alternatively, you may choose to partake in an additional optional experience like a scenic helicopter flight or a sunset camel ride.

Breakfast, Guided Walk at Walpa Gorge, Overnight Ayers Rock Accommodation

DAY 5 Field of Light, Dot Painting & Travel from Uluru (Ayers Rock) to Kings Canyon

Witness the sheer enchantment of an Uluru sunrise and be captivated by the breathtaking Field of Light – an absolutely mesmerising installation fusing art, light and nature with the emotional core of the Australian outback. Awaken before sunrise and venture to a desert viewpoint overlooking Uluru. In the midst of darkness, the globally renowned "Field of Light” unfolds dramatically before you - adorned with 50,000 slender stems crowned by radiant frosted glass orbs, sprawling across an area equivalent to seven football fields, forming an entrancing homage to the desert's splendour and the timelessness of Uluru.

From here we ascend to a private dune-top viewing area, where a panorama of the awakening Red Centre stretches out before us - witness the landscape's breathtaking transformation. The radiant sun rises behind Uluru, casting its warm glow upon the land and the sprawling Kata Tjuta. With each passing minute, the desert reveals its beauty in the gentle morning light and the Field of Light gracefully fades. From this elevated position, we capture Uluru and Kata Tjuta, their ancient forms bathed in the soft, golden embrace of a new day.

On return to the resort we are immersed in local Anangu culture at a “Dot Painting Workshop”- a fascinating introduction to Western Indigenous Art. Learn about the different symbols used to depict Creation stories from local Aboriginal artists and create your own “Dot Painting” to take home as a memento. For millennia, the Anangu have passed down their wisdom through the generations, nurturing their land, culture and people. Through this workshop, artists warmly invite you to share in their culture, offering you the chance to learn and create. Be inspired by the timeless wisdom of the desert and learn some Pitjantjatjara words as you try your hand at ancient dot painting techniques.

We bid farewell to Uluru and embark on a fascinating journey through more breathtaking desert landscapes. Pass Curtin Springs Station, catch a glimpse of the majestic Atila (Mt. Conner) and keep your eyes peeled for signs of wild horses and the noble camel, which may grace our path.

Kings Canyon Resort welcomes us with enough time to unwind and explore. Then, brace yourself for a mesmerising sunset experience as the sun’s golden afternoon hues set the desert landscapes ablaze in a symphony of transforming colour. In the summer months enjoy the chance to purchase drinks at the sunset viewing area and experience the Light Towers by Artist Bruce Munro in the evening.

DAY 6 Explore Kings Canyon and Return to Alice Springs

This morning, the real adventure begins. We rise early and make the rocky ascent to the canyon's rim, greeted by the awe-inspiring sunrise. This stunning vantage point offers an incredible view of Watarrka National Park. As we follow the canyon's rim on this three hour hike, pause at various lookout spots to gaze deep into the rugged gorge or alternatively, you may choose to take a guided stroll into the lush haven on the canyon floor.

Around midday we will board our coach and make our way back to Alice Springs. Soak up the vivid desert panoramas and delight in a stop off at the iconic Erldunda, a roadhouse where you can perhaps purchase a delicious afternoon tea.

DAY 7 West MacDonnell Ranges Luxury Coach Tour

Experience Ormiston Gorge and waterhole where we pause to enjoy a delicious ploughman’s picnic lunch, with time to enjoy the refreshing waterhole (perhaps have a well deserved swim). All the time spotting for the amazing wildlife such as eagles, kites and falcons (soaring above the range on warm currents) as well as black footed rock wallabies and desert lizards.

DAY 8 Heart of the Outback & Ancient Rock Carvings Coach Tour

Immerse yourself in the heart and soul of Central Australia as we embark on our morning adventure along the Old South Road, where the awe-inspiring expanse of the Red Centre stretches out before us. The vast outback landscape, painted in deep reds and golden hues, invites us to lose ourselves in its breathtaking beauty. Listen to tales of the ancient Finke River, the building of the historic telegraph line, and the rich cultural tapestry that has shaped this land for generations.

Our first stop is the sacred Napwerte/Ewaninga Aboriginal Rock Carvings Conservation Reserve, where the land reveals its ancient secrets. As we walk amongst the ancient petroglyphs, carved into stone by the early Arrernte people, feel the deep connection to this land and its timeless history. We then journey to Ooraminna Station Homestead, where the heart of the outback comes alive. This working cattle station immerses us in the charm, grit, and authenticity of outback life. Explore the homestead and its famed saloon, where cinematic history was made in “The Drover’s Boy”. Savour a peaceful morning tea on the homestead deck, surrounded by vast outback wilderness.

Our morning continues to the Red Dune Desert Lookout, where the deep crimson sands of the desert meet the endless sky.
