Overview

Taking in some of the most stunning sights in the Red Centre over three days, this small group adventure presents a snapshot of some of the most beautiful places in the area, including Uluru, Kings Canyon, the Valley of the Winds or Walpa Gorge and Kata Tjuta. Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park was added to the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1987 after the international community recognized the park's spectacular geological formations, rare plants and animals, and outstanding natural beauty. You will discover incredible secrets of the Red Centre with commentary, stories, and hidden gems that will really put this place into perspective.

We provide two different sleeping arrangements at our exclusive private campsites, with twin shared safari tents, or a traditional swag experience. (canvas-covered bedroll)

This tour concludes in either Alice Springs or Uluru/Ayers Rock/Yulara, depending on shuttle availability. Please confirm your preferred drop-off location when booking.
