Itinerary
This is your destination for unforgettable sights. Rise early and travel into Uluru–Kata Tjuta National Park. Enjoy a warming cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate as the dawn creeps across the desert plain and lights up Uluru.
On your way to Kata Tjuta, your Driver Guide will provide insight into the history and geology of this ancient land. From here enjoy a panoramic view of the southern side of Kata Tjuta, and see Uluru on the distant horizon.
Arrive at the 36 steep-sided domes, the other icon of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
Walpa Gorge - meaning ‘wind’ in the local Aboriginal language, a breeze will accompany you as you explore the gorge. Follow the path between two of the tallest domes of Kata Tjuta, to a lush oasis in the desert. Admire mulla mulla plants and spearwood trees at the end of the gorge.

5Fantastic introduction to an outstanding World Heritage Site
This is a great introduction to Uluru Kata-Tjuta National Park, with iconic sunrise views of Ayers Rock and a beautiful gorge walk into Kata Tjuṯa. Highly recommended with superb tour guide and driver team giving us a very interesting introduction to the cultural, historical, biological and geological significance of this wonderful World Heritage Site. Recent rains and spring flowers made this a very green and pretty excursion!
5Great pics
Terrence and Alan were great guides. Unfortunately a bit cloudy but still got some great pics!
5Wonderful Experience
Want to express our gratitude for the wonderful experience during tour yesterday 13th August. Both tour guide (Yoon) and driver (Kieran) were helpful without being obtrusive.
5Spectacular Kata Tjuṯa.
Fabulous morning, early 6am pickup. First stop sunrise at Uluru lookout. A bit underwhelming as really there was not much sun or change of colour of the rock. Then a drive to Kata Tjuṯa. A fabulous hike through Waḻpa Gorge. Really spectacular! Then a stop off for some photos of the Olga’s. Overall a great morning. Would highly recommend. Driver and guide were great.
5Outstanding experience

About Uluru
Uluru is a huge red sandstone monolith in the desert of Australia's Northern Territory, sacred to the Anangu and the centrepiece of a World Heritage park.
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. It is sacred to the Anangu, the traditional owners, who share its stories at the cultural centre in the park. The park is listed as a World Heritage site for both its natural and its cultural value.
