5Most memorable BBQ dinner excursion in a great World Heritage park!
This was a great excursion into Ayers Rock with lucid explanations of the history, culture and mythology of the ancient indigenous people, beautiful scenic sunset views of Uluru and a fascinating walk to the lush Mutitjulu Waterhole. BBQ dinner and stargazing into a clear moonless night was magical! Best ever BBQ dinner with amazing delicious kangaroo fillets!

Excellent visit, knowledgable and friendly guides. Stunning views as the sun set. Well worth adding on the BBQ.
5Uluru at sunset and under the stars -10/10!
This tour is a great mix of visiting the cultural center, seeing Uluru as you drive around it in a comfortable coach, with a short walk to the waterhole along with some stories about the area and the history of Uluru, followed by a drive to watch as the sunset across the rock while you enjoy canapés and wine/softdrinks. Truly magical. But they saved the best for last and that was the beautiful bbq dinner under the stars close to Uluru where we engaged in conversations with people from all over the world and were treated to a delicious meal and plenty of wine. They ended the evening with star gazing which was simply unbelievable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants a more relaxed (not real physical) experience here at Uluru. Amazing overall experience and very well run.

Uluru rises 348 metres above the flat red plain of Australia's Red Centre, and a walk of about 10 km circles its base, passing waterholes, rock art and cliffs fluted by wind and rain.
