Travel with the experts for a carefully curated, value-packed discovery of the world's most iconic destinations. Our tours are bursting with must-see sights, rich experiences and quality inclusions, all at an unbeatable price. Bucket list dreams are ticked off on these all-encompassing journeys.
Welcome to the Northern Territory! On arrival at Ayers Rock Airport you’ll be transferred to the resort (flights to arrive prior to 3.00pm).
This evening, we’ll take a drive to Kata Tjuta (also known as The Olgas) to experience a magnificent Aussie outback sunset. We’ll return to the hotel where the rest of the evening is at leisure.
NOTES:
Flights must arrive prior to 3pm.
This morning we’ll rise early to witness a stunning Uluru sunrise, a bucket list experience, before continuing to Walpa Gorge, a natural creek that carves its way between the two tallest domes of Kata Tjuta.
This evening, dine under a million stars at the iconic Sounds of Silence dinner. As the sun sets, listen to the sound of a didgeridoo and join your fellow adventurers for an unforgettable experience. This evening, against a quintessential Aussie backdrop, enjoy a gourmet buffet of Australian delicacies accompanied by fine Australian wines, then sit back and relax as a star talker explains the constellations of the southern night sky.
After dinner, we’ll head back to the hotel.
NOTES:
Weather conditions permitting.
This morning after breakfast, we’ll head out to Kings Canyon, also known as Watarrka. We’ll climb the 6 km to the rim of the canyon and take in the marvellous views of Watarrka National Park. For those who want a view without the climbing, you can opt for an easier, shorter walk to explore the boulder-strewn canyon creek bed.
After this memorable experience we’ll return to the hotel where the rest of the day can be spent at leisure.
See the amazing collection of Indigenous art at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre, then tour the base of Uluru and take the Kuniya Walk to the Mutitjulu Waterhole. Experience the remarkable colour changes of Uluru, the world’s largest monolith, while enjoying sparkling wine at sunset.
Today we’ll see British artist Bruce Munro’s installation, Field of Light, an immersive light display and his largest work to date (it would cover over seven football fields).
Located next to Uluru, wander through 50,000 handcrafted frosted glass spheres of light, in colours of ochre, deep violet, blue and gentle white. It’s a magical experience and a fitting end to your outback adventure.
Later, you will be transferred to Ayers Rock Airport for your onward flight.
We trust that you enjoyed your tour and we look forward to seeing you on your next inspiring journey.
