Description:
Watch Australia come to life before your very eyes as you journey through the pristine and often magical Red Centre. Enjoy views of Kata Tjuta and the Walpa Gorge, walk to the Mutitjulu Waterhole, and explore Aboriginal customs and rock paintings.
Day 1
On arrival at Ayers Rock Airport you're transferred to your hotel. Then in the afternoon, you travel to the mystical 36 domes of Kata Tjuta. On the way, enjoy panoramic views of the southern side of Kata Tjuta before arriving at the base of Walpa Gorge.
Spend some time exploring the gorge and the unusual conglomerate rock formations. The walking trail through Walpa Gorge follows a natural creek between 2 of the tallest domes of Kata Tjuta. In the late afternoon, travel to the Uluru sunset viewing area to witness and photograph the striking color changes of Uluru at sunset.
Day 2
Rise early and travel to the Uluru sunrise viewing area, Talinguru Nyakunytjaku. Watch the first rays of the sun light up the Red Centre while enjoying a warming cup of tea or coffee and biscuits.
After watching the sunrise, join your guide for a tour around the base of Uluru. Travel by coach to the Mutitjulu Walk, where you're escorted to the charming Mutitjulu Waterhole. View Aboriginal rock paintings and learn about the area as your driver-guide points out some of the native flora and explains the Aboriginal and European history of Uluru.
Visit the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Center, where you can learn about Aboriginal culture and see Aboriginal arts and crafts. On days when the Uluru Climb is open, those with a good level of fitness have the opportunity to climb Uluru as an alternative to the Mutitjulu Walk and Cultural Center. Later in the afternoon, travel to Alice Springs.
