Travel to the Red Centre in style on this three day 4WD eco-tour to Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon. Perfect for people that like travelling in small group tours, you’ll travel away from the crowds, soak up the atmosphere of Central Australia and enjoy all the comforts of home.
In this Outback tour, you’ll not only see the icons of the Red Centre, but you’ll also have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and landscapes, before retiring to your hotel, where a shower and restaurant meals await.
Day 1 - Alice Springs to Kings Canyon Resort
Departing Alice Springs at 2 pm, we leave the tar and hit the dirt travelling directly to Kings Canyon via the four-wheel-drive Ernst Giles Road, visiting varying sights along the way. On arrival at Kings Canyon Resort, check in to your 4-star hotel room and, time permitting, we will enjoy a sparkling wine with a selection of canapés whilst watching the amazing sunset on Carmichael Crag at the western end of Kings Canyon. Tonight, enjoy a sumptuous dinner at the Resort’s restaurant.
Day 2 - Kings Canyon to Uluru
Following breakfast, we take a short drive to Kings Canyon for an early guided walk. The Rim Walk is botanically and spiritually rich, combined with astounding scenery such as the buttressed domes that surround the Amphitheatre, the Lost City and Garden of Eden. The walk takes approximately 3 hours requiring a good fitness level and for those wanting a softer option, there is the shorter and easier Kings Creek walk leading into the centre of the Canyon.
Following the walk we make our way to Uluru-Kata Tjuta NationalPark, stopping at Willunga Well for lunch under the shade of mighty Desert Oaks with perhaps a glass or two of wine. On arrival at the National Park, it’s a good time to stretch the legs at Kata Tjuta with the Walpa Gorge ‘Windy Gully’ walk, suitable for most fitness levels. Returning to the hotel, there’s time to prepare for the evening activities and for those partaking the Sounds of Silence Dinner (additional expense), you’ll be picked up from the hotel while the rest of us find a remote location to observe the famous changing colours of Uluru and Kata Tjuta at sunset, accompanied with canapés and wine or cool refreshments. After sunset, we return to the hotel for a beautiful 3-course dinner and chat about the day’s events.
Day 3 - Uluru to Alice Springs
We depart the Resort under darkness to a remote location to witness the sunrise over the mighty monolith of Uluru and the domes of Kata Tjuta. Guests electing to climb Uluru will be given a breakfast box and taken directly to the base to commence their 2 -2.5-hour climb (weather permitting) while those not climbing will return to the hotel for breakfast. Anangu discourages people from climbing Uluru.
We will rendezvous with guests that climbed Uluru to experience the wonderful walks around the base, learning of the creation myths and fascinating geology of Uluru.
For those departing from the Ayers Rock Airport / Resort, your guide will deliver you by 12.30 pm and for those returning to Alice Springs, we commence our journey back, stopping at Curtin Springs Station for a typical Aussie BBQ lunch. We will return you to your hotel at approximately 5.30 pm after three days of stunning beauty and adventure.
