A trip to Uluru is an unforgettable cultural experience that will remain with you long after you’ve left. Surrounded by the dramatic scenery of the Olgas, contrasting ochre dust and unmissable giant rock – the Red Centre is a must visit destination on every Australian itinerary.

Uluru

Be sure to set the alarm for a Desert Awakenings tour to see the colours and sounds of Uluru awaken from the night while you learn about the history of the region. Feel the spiritual connection of Uluru as you take a sunset camel ride around the base of the rock and then be sure to book an unforgettable dining experience for the Sounds of Silence dinner. Visit the Cultural Centre to learn about the history of the local Anangu people. There’s plenty for kids to enjoy too with free afternoon activities such as the Wakagetti dancers and spear throwing. Its truly a magical place to visit.

Kata Tjuta

Drive 40 minutes to Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) to see the 32 massive dome shaped rocks, some of which are taller than Uluru.
There are beautiful walking trails here to enjoy, ranging from easy strolls to longer, more difficult tracks. The longest of the walking trails at 7.4km is the Valley of the Winds walk - somewhat steep but well worth the effort for breathtaking views between the domes and away from the crowds.
The short walk to the Kata Tjuta dune viewing area offers magnificent panoramic view of the domes, an attraction not to be missed.

Getting around

From the airport: Ayers Rock airport is located 6km from Ayers Rock Resort and 16km from Uluru (Ayers Rock). Complimentary shuttle buses meet most flights and transfer you to your accomodation. There is no taxi service available in the area.

In and around the city: the easiest way to get around the resort is by foot, all hotels including the campground are all within a 15 minute walk to the town square. A free shuttle bus circulates the resort daily stopping at all hotels, campground, town square, visitors centre and Uluru Camel Farm.

To get out to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park you'll need to hire a car or take one of the many guided tours.
