Small Group Sunset Tour of Uluru–Kata Tjuta National Park
What your day looks like
Come and join your guide to explore the most profound and culturally significant monolith in Australia. Departing the resort, the tour will travel through the landscapes to the entrance of the Uluru–Kata Tjuta National Park. From this point, it is only a matter of minutes before the spectre of Uluru rises from the sand dunes to demonstrate its enormity and presence in this country. Our first stop allows you a photographic opportunity of this amazing icon. With Uluru looming in front of you, you journey toward the base. As you drive around the base, your guide will take you to the entrance of Mutitjulu Waterhole, a semi-permanent watercourse nestled in the contours of Uluru. Here you will learn the Creation stories of Liru (venomous snake) and Kuniya (woma python), as well as a number of other stories associated with prominent Tjukurpa (Creation) stories. You will see the rock art of the Anangu people and learn how Uluru was—and still is—a significant location for teaching young Aboriginal people. We then adjourn to the new Talinguru Nyakunytjaku viewing area, where you will observe an uninterrupted view of Uluru with Kata Tjuta in the background as the sun sets. Revel in the peace of the desert as you enjoy a chilled sparkling wine. Your guide will then return you to your accommodation at Ayers Rock Resort.
The experience, in brief
- Explore the base of Uluru on this small group 5hour tour
- Finish your afternoon with sparkling wine and light refreshments as you watch the sun set
