Australia Your Way

The best Uluru Holiday Packages 2024

Uluru holiday packages are a brilliant choice if you want to see the best that the red centre offers but not have to plan your own itinerary.

The Northern Territory is one of Australia’s bucket list destinations . A multi-day tour of Uluru can actually be a brilliant choice if you are planning to visit the Uluru and Kata Tjuta National Park and would like someone else to do the driving. On an escorted Uluru holiday package you will be met at the airport and taken to your accommodation and then someone else makes sure you see all the key sites.

Today we are going to share the things you need to consider before you choose an Uluru Holiday Package to you can make sure you find the perfect one for you and your group.

The Benefits of Booking Uluru Holiday Packages

Types of uluru package tours, how many days should your uluru tour be, what is usually included in an uluru holiday package, preferred multi day tour operators in uluru, uluru camping tours, uluru guided multi day coach tours, uluru tour passes, how to get to uluru/ayers rock resort.

Uluru, previously known as Ayers Rock, might be the draw card for visiting the red centre, but there is so much more to see here and a guided tour is the perfect way to learn more about the cultural significance of this very special part of Australia.

  • Accommodation is pretty expensive in Uluru, so most visitors try to see as much as they can in on their trip. Going on an escorted tour is a great way to make sure you see the top sites in your brief visit.
  • A tour means you don’t need to worry about airport transfers, meals and logistics. You are just free to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings.
  • Your guide can help you better understand the cultural significance of the sites you visit and their meaning to the traditional owners.
  • Someone will wake you up for your Uluru sunrise so you don’t miss out on one of the best experiences of your time in the Red Centre.

Do you want a comfortable bed at the end of the day or would you prefer to sleep in a swag under the stars? Would you rather cycle the Uluru base walk or is flying over it in a chopper top of your Northern Territory wish list?

There is a tour to suit you. You just have to dig through all the options to find it. We know how long this can take because we have done it ourselves a few times now, so today you get to benefit from our experience and hopefully find the perfect tour for your visit.

Outback Australia tour

You need at least 2 full days, preferably 3, to see the major sites at Yulara/Uluru. If you want to see Kings Canyon, you need at least another full day. Personally, I think you should allow 3-5 days to have the best experience in Uluru. Read our full guide to planning a trip to Uluru for more details.

Most Uluru tours will include:

  • At least one sunrise, usually Uluru but sometimes Kata Tjuta and on longer tours, often both.
  • An Uluru sunset viewing, sometimes with a BBQ but usually with at least some drinks and nibbles
  • A guided walk around the base of Uluru – either a portion or all of the 9km path
  • A visit to the Cultural Centre to learn more about the Anangu People

Some tours will add extras like:

  • The famous Sounds of Silence dinner
  • A viewing at Bruce Munro’s Field of Light
  • A sunrise or sunset camel tour
  • A Helicopter Flight over Uluru and Kuta Tjuta
  • Aboriginal cultural experiences like a dot painting workshop

The other thing that varies is meal inclusions. On a camping experience, you will be expected to help prepare dinner and clean up after your meal. One many of the entry level tours few or no meals are included and on the luxury options, you will find a fine dining option is added.

There are several excellent tour operators offering holiday packages to Uluru. The key to having a great trip is to choose the company that is best suited to your travel style.

The biggest operator is AAT Kings, who have been offering tours in Australia for more than a century. They work with several local guides and have the biggest range of options. Being the biggest operator means that it’s very unlikely (unheard of really) that your tour will be cancelled because of a lack of numbers.

While tourism may have restarted in the Northern Territory last year, not all the backpacker/adventure operators have come back online. Thankfully, one of the best, Mulgas Adventures, has and is offering well run camping tours departing from either Alice Springs or Uluru Ayers Rock Resort. In the coming months, I expect more options to be available.

Mulgas Adventures Uluru and Kings Canyon

If you like the idea of sleeping under the stars, then Mulgas Adventures is a fantastic tour . In an action packed a couple of days, you will see the main sights of the Red Centre and do three of the area’s best hikes.

Bubbles at sunset is your a must

This 3 days/2 nights tour takes a maximum of 24 travellers and starts at either Alice Springs or Ayers Rock Resort. The tour finishes at Alice Springs after visiting Kings Canyon. Generally visitors who choose this tour are 18-50 years of age, but everyone over 12 years is welcome.

Learning all about swags!  Don't worry they have a soft mattress like base

On this 3 day Uluru guided tour you will:

  • Take the 9.3km base walk at Uluru – or a shorter alternative if you prefer
  • Visit to Cultural Centre where you can learn more about the Anangu People
  • Experience sunset at Uluru – with bubbles
  • Enjoy breakfast and sunrise at Uluru the next morning
  • Visit to Kata Tjuta (previously known as The Olgas) and the Valley of the Winds walk or easier Walpa Gorge walk if you prefer.
  • Stay overnight at Kings Creek Station with BBQ dinner
  • Tackle the Kings Canyon Rim Walk (or easier alternative), and visit the Garden of Eden and the Natural Amphitheatre.

What’s included

  • National Park fees are included and they provide everything you need for your camping experience, just a BYO sleeping bag, alternatively you can rent one for $20. All meals are included and Mulgas can cater for vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free and lactose intolerant passengers.

Most of the multi-day coach tours that use hotel accommodation are operated by AAT Kings . They are a long established (100yrs) brand with quality vehicles and excellent guides. They partner with small local operators to provide the best experiences for their guests.

AAT Kings Uluru & Kata Tjuta Sights & Sounds Tour

This 3 day tour begins and ends at Yulara and includes all the big ticket sights and experiences along with two nights’ accommodation at the resort. It’s a great all round tour and the perfect choice if you have limited time but don’t want to miss any of the most popular sites.

Mutitjulu Waterhole uluru

Your Sights and Sounds tour begins with a lunchtime visit to the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre and a tour of the sacred sites around the base of Uluru. Walk to sacred Mutitjulu Waterhole and view ancient Aboriginal rock art. At the end of the day, enjoy some sparkling wine as the sun sets over Uluru.

Uluru at sunset

Day two begins with a sunrise over Kata Tjuta, with Uluru in the distance. Then it’s time for a 2-3 hour walk to the Valley of the Winds. After this, you will probably be ready for an afternoon nap (I was!).

Road to the Olgas Kuta Tjuta

This evening you will enjoy the very special Sounds of Silence Dinner, a gourmet buffet of Australian specialities and Australian wines. After dinner a local star talker explains the constellations of the southern night sky. On the night we visited, we could take turns spotting planets through the telescopes.

Sounds of Silence Dinner Uluru

Your last day begins with Bruce Munro’s Field of Light, in the predawn light, wander through 50,000 magical, hand-crafted frosted glass spheres of light.

Field of light panorama at night with mostly blue lights in NT Australia

3 Day Uluru & Kings Canyon Discovery

It’s a busy itinerary but if you have limited time but want to see as much as you can, it’s a great choice. You could choose to add a day or two in Alice Springs before your tour if you wanted to see more of the centre, like this day tour to Palm Valley .

On this tour you will:

  • Learn about Australia’s weird and wonderful creatures, like the Thorny Devil and Red Kangaroo.

  • Take a self-guided walk through Walpa Gorge, a 1.3km track between two of Kata Tjuta’s largest domes.
  • Climb to the rim of the canyon for marvellous views of Watarrka National Park at sunrise. Then it’s time to make a choice, take the challenging circuit walk (3 hours) or take an easier, shorter walk to explore the boulder strewn canyon floor.
  • Stop at Kings Creek Station, a working cattle and camel station for lunch (own expense) where you’ll have the opportunity to try their famous camel burger!
  • Hike at Kings Canyon

Amazing rock formations of the Great Valley, Kings Canyon. Australia

Need to know:

  • Meals are not included in this tour.
  • There are a range of walks from easy to more challenging depending on your ability

Sleep: Choose from Sails in the Desert Hotel, Desert Gardens or Outback Pioneer Hotel and then either superior or standard rooms – The choice will determine the tour payment.

5 Days Outback Highlights Tour

This 5 day tour runs at a much more relaxed pace and includes all the sites included in the 3 day tour above but allows you a lot more free time in the middle of the day to add other experiences to your time in Uluru.

Your tour starts with a midday arrival and transfer to your hotel before heading out to Kuta Tjuta for your first red centre sunset.

Kuta Tjuta The Olgas at sunset

Day two starts with an Uluru sunrise and ends with the Sounds of Silence dinner, in between you get to hike Walpa Gorge.

In the afternoon you can try to fit in one of the free talks offered at the visitors’ centre. These can really add to your visit. We really enjoyed the art talk and the morning garden walk.

Day three is big, a full day out to Kings Canyon, where you have the chance to climb to the canyon rim for stunning views of Watarrka National Park. There is also an option for a shorter walk to along the boulder-strewn canyon creek bed.

Uluru Base Walk

On day four, the pace settles again and you have a free morning to do whatever you please, a scenic flight , a dot painting class or a ride on the camel express . In the afternoon, you will do the base walk before enjoying sunset with a glass of wine or bubbles.

Your last day begins with the Field of Light. You will arrive in while it’s still dark and experience with light display as the sun rises.

This holiday package includes four nights at the Sails in the Desert Hotel, Ayers Rock Resort. The hotel has the largest pool in Yulara and is the perfect place to cool off after your morning hikes.

If you like a bit more flexibility, then perhaps one of AAT Kings Tour passes is a good choice. These passes take the hard work out of planning your sightseeing.

While this pass will cover your tour needs, you have to arrange your own accommodation options. We have written extensively about the different hotels at Ayers Rock Resort .

Piti Sightseeing 3-in-1 Pass: Uluru–Kata Tjuta National Park & Kings Canyon

There are no international flights to the red centre. You can choose to fly directly to Yulara (Uluru airport) or fly into Alice Springs and join a tour that starts there or use the transfer bus.

You will find the best (most frequent) options out of Sydney and Melbourne. If you are planning on exploring another destination in the Northern Territory , buy a one-way ticket and head to Darwin or Adelaide after your Ayers Rock tour.

Another option is to take the Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin , which includes a three day stop in Yulara.

The Ghan Outback train

It’s a good idea to have travel insurance to cover any cancellation or unexpected problems that may arise. We use and recommend Cover-More for all our travel. They also offer an Inbound plan for anyone visiting Australia .

Uluru & Kings Canyon Adventure

Took the tour hosted by Robert & Frederico. Robert was always full of energy when he spoke and he had lots of stories. Whenever we saw animals on the outback roads he stopped and allowed us to have a look and photograph them. He did this with camels. He found a dead snake on the side of the road and then pulled it into our van for us all to have a look at it. He found a thorny devil on the side of the road and pulled it into the van for all of us to look at it. He was very knowledgeable with explaining the story of the Southern Cross star constellation. I liked that the tour guides allowed us to swap seats in the van and sit up the front with Robert. I liked the number of stops we had including Erldunda at the geographic centre of Australia and the many photo opportunities on the side of the road. It was fabulous to see Uluru and I was amazed at the height and size of it. We saw the sunset over Uluru which changed the colour of the rock which was sensational. We also saw the sunrise over Uluru and I enjoyed visiting the Aboriginal cultural centre. Aboriginal art is stunning and the people are friendly.

Uluru

Uluru (Ayers Rock)

Be our guest on an uluru tour.

Ulu r u Kata-Tju t a National Park is home to the world-famous Ulu r u (Ayers Rock), the Red Centre of Australia and one of the country's most famous natural landmarks. One of the most famous rock formations in the world, this monolith stands at a towering 348 metres tall and has a circumference of over 9km, with the bulk of its mass lying underground.

This unique slice of the outback is known for its amazing views at dawn and dusk. The Talinguṟu Nyakunytjaku viewing area offers uninterrupted 360° views of Ulu r u and Kata Tju t a, with the sun's glow bringing the surrounding desert landscape to life.

A trip to the Northern Territory is incomplete without getting to experience one of the many amazing Ulu r u tours on offer. See the information below to learn more about Ulu r u (Ayers Rock) to help you plan an unforgettable experience in the heart of Australia.

AAT Kings’ Tours of Ulu r u

For those that are interested in visiting Ulu r u, AAT Kings offers a variety of different tours, from one-off coach transfers to 19 Day Guided Holidays. Our selection of tours is suitable for all ages and interests, with short and long Ulu r u tours available. If you are looking at exploring Ulu r u either by yourself or with friends and family, browse our selection of Ulu r u-specific tours below. Add on a sunset BBQ dinner to explore native apple, bush tamato, and quandong flavours with renowned Australian barbecued steak, kangaroo and seafood, fresh salads and classic dessert with a twist.

Ulu r u Coach Transfers

Walking Uluru

Walking around the 9km perimeter is one of the key highlights of many Ulu r u tours, but with plenty of walking options, it may be difficult to know where to begin. At AAT Kings, we recommend the Kuniya Base Walk and the Mala Walk, both rated highly by tourists and locals. While walking along these trails, you will encounter sacred Indigenous sites and art.

The Kuniya Base Walk is an insightful track that leads to the Mu t itjulu waterhole. Along this walk you can learn about the deadly battle which took place here between two ancestral beings – Kuniya, the woma python, and Liru, the venomous snake. You'll gain a unique insight into the sheer physical and spiritual enormity of Uluru and pass by ancient cave paintings and other sites of significance to the local A n angu and the early explorers.

The Mala Walk leads you past several areas of ancient rock art and sacred sites where Aboriginal communities live and prepare for ceremonies. It's believed that as you walk through this area, you'll be surrounded by the spirit of the Mala Tjukurpa – the hare-wallaby people. This adventure will also take you to the peaceful Ka n tju Gorge.

There is plenty of local wildlife to see when you travel to Ulu r u (Ayers Rock) and its surroundings, such as the dingos and the rufous hare-wallaby. You will also be able to encounter the largest land mammal in Australia, the ‘red kangaroo', which can be found in the plains, woodlands and even deserts. Birdwatching is also a popular activity for those who visit the Red Centre as many birds take shelter within the park's rocky slopes. The Ulu r u region is home to over 178 species of bird throughout the arid landscape, making this landmark a remarkable place to spot some rare species. You will be able to encounter the brown falcon, the black-faced woodswallow, zebra finches, and more - so remember to keep an eye out. 

Kata Tjuta (the Olgas)

As the two most popular rock formations in the Northern Territory, adventures of Ulu r u and Kata Tju t a are often featured together in several top Uluru tours. Sitting approximately 40km to the west of Ulu r u, Kata Tju t a is a unique experience with its flowing rock domes, which light up beautifully at sunrise and sunset. There are various walking trails to choose from, such as the Walpa Gorge Walk or the Valley of the Winds Walk .

Alice Springs

All the best Ulu r u tours put you within striking distance of Alice Springs, the gateway town to Australia's Red Centre. The town of Alice Springs has plenty of its own landmarks to explore, including Anzac Hill and the Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve. Many of our Ulu r u tours go to and from Alice Springs/Mparntwe, making it an excellent town to stay in if you are keen on exploring the Red Centre.

Wattarka National Park

Watarrka National Park is approximately 300km southwest of Alice Springs and is a protected region encompassing much of Kings Canyon. The rocky terrain is perfect for those seeking a hiking adventure outside of their comfort zone, with it taking around 3 hours to walk the park's circumference.

When to visit Uluru (Ayers Rock)

The best time to visit the Red Centre depends on what experience you want. If you want to avoid the daytime heat, then the period between May and September is the coolest, with temperatures staying between 20-30 degrees. Walking tours will be more comfortable under these cooler conditions, allowing you to explore one of the most stunning areas of the world with ease.

On the other hand, the hottest months (between October and March) bring the rainfall that allows Ulu r u's waterfalls to flow - a unique and wonderful sight. Of course, anyone visiting the Northern Territory during this time should ensure they are drinking enough water and have adequate sun protection.

For visitors interested in the region's wildflowers, August and September are considered the best months to schedule an Ulu r u tour.

How much time do you need to visit the Red Centre?

You need at least 2-3 days to have a robust experience of Uluru (Ayers Rock), where you can fully explore the major features of the region and learn about its Indigenous significance. However, there are plenty of worthwhile half-day Uluru tour experiences that you can enjoy while visiting Central Australia and the Northern Territory.
