Itinerary

Day 1: Alice Springs to Kata Tjuta & Uluru

Meet your group and guide in bright and early and hit the road for Australia’s legendary Outback. Stop at an Outback roadhouse for an optional breakfast (at your own expense), then it’s back on the road for the drive to Yulara, stopping off along the way for views of Mt Connor and various salt lakes. After lunch we explore the 36 domes of Kata Tjuta. Here, we get up close to this ancient geological formation during an afternoon hike. The perfect end to a remarkable day is watching the Rock’s rich colours change against a blazing Red Centre sunset.  (L,D)

Enjoy a glorious sunrise with a walk around the base of Uluru. Deepen your understanding of the land and the Mala people during a cultural interpretive walk with your tour guide.There’s an opportunity to purchase Aboriginal arts and crafts at the Cultural Centre before travelling to our exclusive campsite in Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon). Tonight again sleep in a swag (Aussie bedroll) under millions of outback stars. (B,L,D)

Visit the natural Amphitheatre and discover the Lost City, North and South Walls, and the exotic Garden of Eden along the way.The photo opportunities are endless in Kings Canyon so be sure to bring your camera.
