Day 1: Arrive in Ayers Rock
On arrival in Ayers Rock, transfer coaches meet each flight for your transfer to your hotel in Yulara. Your rental car will be dropped off to your hotel and with your National Parks entry ticket (you will need this each entry into the park), visit the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre for a great introduction to Tjukurpa (law, knowledge, religion) and the Anangu way of life including their amazing art. Be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to get to the Uluru viewing area for sunset, one of the best times to experience the light mystique of Uluru.
Sunrise is a must in Central Australia – enjoy it at Uluru, or perhaps this morning at Kata Tjuta, also known as The Olgas, a massive pile of weathered rock domes, 200m higher than Uluru and estimated to be as old as 500 million years. If you like an easy hike, visit Valley of the Winds. Lunch and a swim is a great idea for a break in the middle of the day – right before you head out on your scenic flight for another spectacular view of Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Dinner tonight is “Sounds of Silence” an unforgettable evening eating fabulous food under the sparkling outback sky.
Day 3: Ayers Rock to Alice Springs via Kings Canyon
Today you head towards Alice Springs. We suggest you leave early to include a visit to Kings Canyon, an amazing hike with incredible views. Relax and enjoy the drive, the scenery and the aura of the Australian Outback. You arrive into Alice Springs driving through “The Gap”, and the MacDonnell Ranges the first of many sights around the Alice Springs area. Alice Springs is a thriving outback centre, with a history dating back to the early 1800’s. Visit Anzac Hill for a birds eye view of Alice Springs.
Alice Springs Desert Park, home to more than 400 animals and 120 species of plants and is a must see. Visit Alice Springs School of Air Visitor Centre – the largest classroom in the world. Alice Springs Telegraph Station – the birth place of Alice Springs. Or, Araluen Centre for the art, culture and history of Central Australia in one place. There is so much more to see, ask us about additional nights!
