Highlights
- Yulara - Your professional tour guide will show you the real outback they love and enjoy so much.
You will be collected from outside the Outback Pioneer Hotel, Desert Gardens or Sails in the Desert in Yulara (Ayers Rock Resort) between 11:40am-12pm. You will then drive to the World Heritage listed Uluru and Kata Tjuta National Park.
- Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park - From here one of your two guides will take you on a guided Mala Walk. The Mala Walk follows the north-west side of Uluru, where there are many fine examples of Anangu rock art, and you can experience the wonder of the sheer vertical walls. The guide will tell dreamtime stories of the Anangu People.
- Mutitjulu Waterhole - From here start your second Uluru guided walk to the Mutitjulu Waterhole. The guide will take you along a short track to the Mutitjulu Waterhole – home of an ancestral water snake called Wanampi. The guide will share stories of local traditions and explain how the Anangu people traditionally used the waterhole for hunting. The caves containing rock art were used in the past by Anangu still alive today.
- Uluru - Head to the base of Uluru (Ayers Rock).
- Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre - Visit the Aboriginal Cultural Centre where you will have time to learn about the local Pitjantjatjara people and buy some souvenirs. The Cultural Centre was built with 90,000 mud bricks with the help of the local Anangu people. It is built on a sacred site and has very special meaning to the local Anangu people.

A great way to spend the day. - We were picked up on time at our hotel and transported to our destinations easily. Yad was great in telling us how long it would take to get to a site, how long we had there as well as local history and necessary customs.
Our last stop was an outdoor venue with a perfect view of Ayer’s Rock for a nice barbecue with plenty of options for fussy eaters (not me :-) )
Only downside was that we were trying to understand words in the native Aboriginal language and also understand them with Yad’s accent. A bit of a challenge, but there are plenty of informational signs along the walking routes.

Day trip from Alice for sunset viewing at Uluru - It's a long day (leave Alice 0700, return around midnight), but so worth it. A very reasonably priced option if you don't want to rent a car and do the driving, or get a room at Yulara (closest accommodation to Uluru). Bus transfers were punctual and Charlie did a great job behind the wheel there and back. Our guide, Yad, was excellent. Friendly, great knowledge, a very professional communicator. Dinner at the Rock was very well organised, plenty of tasty food, a good selection of drinks, and a primo location for sunset view. Big thanks for an incredible experience.

Do not miss this - Our tour guide, Yad, was wonderful. He told stories and legends of the local people. He was able to point out all of the interesting sights and give great explanations. Seeing Uluru at sunset was a fun and unique experience. As many have mentioned, the many, many flies during the BBQ were annoying but the experience was wonderful in spite of them.

The Rock Show - We went with our family, including our 2-year-old child. We were able to enjoy Ayers Rock, which we wanted to see, all day long because the weather was good. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you.
The tours offered by the hotel had age restrictions, so this tour allowed our child to join us.
Some reviews said that the bus was disappointing, but that wasn't the case at all. The bus was air-conditioned and clean.
Our guide, YAD, was not only a careful driver, but was also very friendly and we had a great time.
Although we participated with a small child, the other participants and YAD were very kind to us, which we were very grateful for.

Amazing Rock/Yummy BBQ/Too Many People/Bad Time Management - Loved that we saw the rock from all angles and could see how much detail it had and learned some of the legends about the rock's formations. Wonderful to see the little waterfall and lagoon inside the rock. And it was great that we could even touch the rock at one particular place. The BBQ dinner at sunset was lovely!
NEGATIVES: 1) Your publicity material guarantees a group of no more than 30 people max. There were 49 people in our group! So false advertising. 2) Our guide mismanaged the time so that we arrived at the Cultural Center 10 minutes before it closed. This was most unfortunate because the Center looked very interesting and there was lots to see and learn there. We really missed out on that.

Disappointing - Have booked experiences through Viator previously with no issues. The description included that the guide would be a local and this was not the case, resulting in an inauthentic experience that we could have completed without paying $900 for our family. The snack consisted of sharing apples from sandwich bags and sharing these bags to dispose of the waste. The brbeque was generous however, tje entire experience was overpriced and disappointing.
