      Itinerary

      Day 1: Yulara and Uluru Sunset

      Your eight-day adventure begins at 2 pm, where you’ll meet your Storyteller Guide in front of the Desert Gardens Hotel. After a meet and greet, visit the Cultural Centre in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park to soak up its mesmerising natural beauty and rich culture. Uluru and Kata Tjuta both hold great spiritual significance as they are places where many creation stories converge. Many of these stories are kept secret from outsiders, but you’ll learn a little about the local Anangu culture and appreciate the beauty of their land through exhibits and free presentations with Anangu and park rangers.

      After setting up camp this evening, head to a viewing platform to experience the famous changing colours of the magical Uluru at sunset. This is a great time to contemplate the vastness of the desert. Tonight, get to know your fellow travellers over our first campfire dinner. And roll out your Aussie swag for the first time underneath a sky full of sparkling stars. Today we only drive around 60km.

      Day 2: Uluru

      Rising early, breathe deep and soak up the serenity of a sunrise over Uluru. As the sunlight plays
      with the landscape, the rock formations change colour before your eyes. Next, it’s time to get close
      to Uluru, one of the world’s greatest natural wonders. At 348 metres high and some 550 million
      years old, feel a powerful presence the moment you set eyes on it. A guided 10km Uluru base walk is
      your best opportunity to connect with the rock and learn its stories. Relax beside tranquil
      waterholes, take a break under a magnificent Sheoak tree and peer into hidden caves.
      After lunch, participate in a fun and inspiring dot painting workshop with a talented local Anangu
      artist and interpreter. During this wonderful 1.5-hour authentic experience, you will learn about
      ancient symbols used in Anangu art and teachings and will be taught some introductory
      Pitjantjatjara words (the local language spoken by Anangu). Use this knowledge to create your own
      artwork to take home and treasure forever.
      Return to camp for some free time. Relax by the pool or engage in some of the activities at Ayers
      Rock Resort, such as a didgeridoo performance, a guided garden walk or discovering artifacts at the
      museum. Enjoy a tasty dinner at camp tonight.
      Today we only drive around 50km. You may walk up to 10km today if you do the full Uluru basewalk. However, shorter Uluru walks are available.

      Rising 546 metres above the ground, this sacred site is a defining feature of the Red Centre.
      Translating to the Pitjantjatjara word for ‘Many Heads’, the site’s ridges and ravines are closely
      connected with numerous Indigenous creation-time stories. Embark on the Valley of the Winds
      guided walk for a moment in nature you will never forget. A sanctuary for plants and animals,
      including wallabies and gorgeous wildflowers, we’ll wander along the narrow creek valley between
      two of Kata Tjuta’s largest domes.
