Day 1: Alice Springs to Ayers Rock (Uluru)

Alice Springs - We depart Alice Springs for Ayers Rock stopping off at Mt Connor (false Uluru) lookout for a view of this mighty red mountain and Curtin Springs for a toilet stop before arriving at our campground for lunch. We visit the Red Centre’s Aboriginal cultural centre after lunch. In this very special national park, we can learn about its cultural, ecological, historical, and geological significance. After a short drive towards Uluru, we begin to comprehend its sheer size and magnificence, getting up close and personal to explore further. On our base walk towards Kuniya Piti, we discover sacred rock art sites in family caves and hear the creation stories of Kuniya and Liru.
We drive around sacred sites towards Kantju Gorge where we view the highest waterfall in Central Australia, an elders’ cave, and the world’s oldest pantry.
After seeing the world’s most impressive rock up close and personal, we retreat for panoramic views to witness one of the most incredible sunsets on earth.

Day 2: Ayers Rock (Uluru) to Kings Canyon

Kata Tjuta - The Olgas - It’s an early rise and light breakfast as we head off for a spectacular sunrise in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. You thought Uluru was special and just when you think it couldn’t get any more majestic we approach the stunning silhouette of Kata Tjuta. Here we set off on a hike through the Valley of the Winds or Walpa Gorge marveling at the mighty conglomerate rock formations. After exploring Kata Tjuta we make our way towards Kings Canyon region just in time to experience a glorious outback sunset followed by a hearty meal around the campfire.

Day 3: Kings Canyon to Alice Springs

Kings Canyon - We head off early to explore the mighty Kings Canyon (Watarrka) venturing into the ancient landscape and sacred grounds of the Ulpanyali and Lilla people. Arriving at the jewel in the crown at the centre of Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon) we find ourselves surrounded by towering 100-meter cliff faces, views of sandstone chasms, and jaw-dropping backdrops that will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Grab your water, hat, and sturdy shoes as we set off on foot to explore (the most seasonally applicable part of) the canyon in more detail. After a well-earned rest, you can now enjoy some downtime as the bus meanders its way to your final destination. This evening you are welcome to conclude your exploration in Alice Springs.
