Starting in either Yulara or Alice Springs, you’ll visit the iconic Uluru (which you’ll see at both sunrise and sunset from different perspectives) and Tjoritja-West MacDonnell National Park, as well as Kings Canyon and Kata Tjuta. Pack your hiking shoes and your swimwear, because this trip is jam-packed with outdoor activities that will show you what living in the Outback is all about.

Itinerary

Day - 1

Location: Yulara (or Alice Springs) / Uluru / Yulara - Welcome to Yulara! Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 4 pm at your hotel. Straight after, you'll make your way to one of Australia’s most spiritually significant and iconic sites – Uluru. Enjoy the view from a prime viewing location as the sun sets over the epic sandstone monolith. Watching the landscape shift in colour is a truly unforgettable sight. Tonight, make sure to look up, as this is one of the best spots to stargaze in the country!

Day - 2

Location: Uluru / Kata Tjuta / Yulara - Start the day in one of the best ways – by watching the sunrise over Uluru. After breakfast, set off on the Kuniya Walk with your leader as the sun climbs over the landscape and walk to Mutitjulu Waterhole with a First Nations guide. Your guide will explain what makes this waterhole sacred while sharing stories of its connection to the Anangu people. After, stop by the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre. This afternoon, head out to Kata Tjuta (formerly known as 'The Olgas') – 36 domed rock formations. These rust-coloured beauties are one of Australia’s most impressive sights. You’ll take the Walpa Gorge Walk between two rock formations that make up Kata Tjuta. Tonight you have the option to visit the famous Field of Light show – highly recommended.

Day - 3

Location: Uluru / Kings Canyon - This morning, you’ll rise nice and early for a light breakfast, before heading out for a sunrise walk along Uluru’s base. Walk the entire circuit of this natural wonder as you watch the land come alive in the sunlight. Then, drive to Watarrka National Park, stopping for an included lunch along the way. Tonight, you have a free evening to sit back and relax, stargaze or swap stories with your fellow travellers.   

Day - 4

Location: Kings Canyon / Finke River - Enjoy a bushman’s style breakfast this morning at Kings Creek Station. After, spend the morning exploring the rugged landscape of Kings Canyon and tackle the Rim Walk up and across the famous Kings Canyon plateau, from the sandstone domes of the 'Lost City' to the oasis of the 'Garden of Eden'. You’ll walk across the red rock cliffs that protrude from the land and take in views of the palm forest below. Later, drive via the Mereenie Loop to your exclusive camp within Finke Gorge National Park, on the banks of the Finke River, where you’ll spend the night. Settle in, then perhaps embark on the Kalarranga Walk for some scenic views of the valley and the riverbed. Head back to camp for dinner around the campfire.

Day - 5

Location: West MacDonnell Ranges / Finke River - Today after breakfast, you’ll hit the road for a full-day tour of Tjoritja (the West MacDonnell Ranges). First, head to Gosse Bluff (Tnorala), a unique asteroid crater formed more than 140 million years ago. Next up is Ormiston Gorge (Kwartatuma) where you'll head out onto the Ghost Gum Walk to soak in the views across the gorge. There will be plenty of time to relax at the swimming hole and cool off with a swim here. After exploring with your leader, return to your Finke River camp for a free evening. Tonight, why not celebrate your time together by the fire, under the blanket of Outback stars.

Day - 6

Location: Hermannsburg / Alice Springs - This morning, you’ll visit the Hermannsburg Historic Precinct with a First Nations guide. This precinct includes the former site of the Finke River Mission Station, also known as the Hermannsburg Mission. Established by Lutheran missionaries in 1877, this is one of the only intact evangelical missions remaining in Australia. The original German-style stone buildings have been restored and now house a museum and art gallery. Then head to Alice Springs, where your trip will come to an end. There are no further activities planned when you arrive, so you can leave at any time. If you’d like to stay in Alice Springs for longer, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
