Day 1 - Ayers Rock Airport - Transfer Ayers Rock Resort Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park

On arrival at your hotel, your guide will assist with hotel check-in and provide a full tour briefing, optional touring details and resort dining information.
Mid-afternoon we will depart Ayers Rock Resort and make our way to Kata Tjuta. Our first stop is the Kata Tjuta Dune Viewing Area where you can see spectacular 360-degree views. We then take a guided walk into Walpa Gorge. Marvel at the sheer walls that flank you as you enter the Gorge. Learn of the domes’ formation and of the flora and fauna of the region. Late in the day, we watch the sunset over Uluru. Admire the ever-changing colours of the mighty monolith.
Dependent upon flight arrival time passengers may go directly to the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park afternoon tour from the airport.
Day 2 - Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
Departing your hotel early this morning, we enter Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park enjoy a wonderful Uluru sunrise. With the sun climbing in the morning sky, take the guided Mala Walk to Kantju Gorge. During the Mala Walk you can learn the stories of the Mala (Rufous Hare Wallaby) and mythical ancestors that travelled to Uluru for a religious ceremony. Following the Mala Walk take the Kuniya Walk to view ancient cave paintings and visit Mutitjulu, a sacred waterhole, to learn the story of the Aboriginal “Kuniya Tjukurpa” (Python Dreaming). Visit the Uluru-Kata-Tjuta National Park Cultural Centre and learn more about Aboriginal culture or alternatively take a refreshment break at the Ininti café. There is also an opportunity here to purchase locally made Aboriginal arts & crafts.
Instead of joining the guided Mala and Kuniya walks and the Uluru-Kata-Tjuta National Park Cultural Centre, you may choose to climb Uluru (approximate 2.5 hours). This is subject to the climb being open.
We return to Ayers Rock Resort, time permitting to freshen up and get ready for your transfer to Ayers Rock Airport for onward flights.
Please note that you may be required to checkout of your hotel room prior to commencement of this morning’s touring.
