uluru 5 day tour

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.

HOW TO PLAN A PERFECT TRIP TO ULURU in 2024

Instantly recognised around the world, Uluru is one of Australia’s 20 UNESCO Heritage areas. Like many Aussies, we put off going to Uluru for years. It sat on the bucket list for way too long while we waited for the perfect time to visit. Now we have been we can’t stop singing its praises. It’s an amazing experience. If you have decided it’s time to see the big red rock, you have come to the right place; below we share everything you need to know to plan a trip to Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

Uluru is in the middle of nowhere and very pricey. It’s likely this is your one-time shot to see the iconic red rock, and like any once in a lifetime holiday, you will want to make sure you get everything right.

Choosing the best time to visit Uluru

How long to stay in uluru, the best way to get to uluru, getting around uluru, is driving in uluru difficult, distances to major sites from yulara, tips for renting a vehicle, things you need to pack for your uluru trip, must-do experiences at uluru, how to save money on your visit to the rock, safety in the outback.

This page may contain affiliate links. Read our full disclosure policy  for more information.

If you are anything like me, you will probably spend more time trying to plan the perfect Uluru itinerary; thank you will visiting 😉 I recently organised a special trip to Uluru and Kata Tjuta for my birthday and dragged four of our friends along. I made notes lots of notes, and then I spent four days testing them out so that I could share the results here.

Uluru is not the biggest monolith in Australia. That title belongs to Mount Augustus in Western Australia. It’s 2.5 times larger!

What follows are the answers to all the questions I had about visiting Uluru in an easy to follow guide so that you can plan your own memorable trip to Australia’s red centre.

If you have a choice about which time of year you visit Uluru, then great; if not, don’t worry, there is never a wrong time to visit the Rock; you just need to be prepared for the season.

What is the weather like in Uluru?

Weather can have a significant impact on your time in Uluru. If you are not an early riser, this is even more important. In the middle of summer, it is often too hot to walk after 11am, so your days need to start early if you hope to see a lot in a short time.

• Spring is pleasant and sees highs between 26C-34C and lows of 17C-9C
• Summer is a challenge with highs between 35C-38C and lows of 17C-21C
• Autumn is perfect with highs between 23C-28C and lows of 17C-8C
• Winter is comfortable but cold after sunset highs are between 22C-20C and lows of 5C-3C

What about the crowds?

Peak season is June to September when prices hit their peak, and everything will cost more, from flights to hotels. Also, keep an eye on Australian school holiday dates as these push prices up as well. Major events like opera and the anniversary of the closing of the climb can also affect rates.

Did you know?   Uluru Is 2.5 times taller than the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

So when should you go?

Taking into consideration weather and prices, the idea time weather-wise is April and May or September and October.

If you are trying to decide whether to book an all-inclusive package or do it yourself, this guide to multi-day tours in the Red Centre might help.

Trying to decide how many days to spend at Uluru is the first thing most people struggle with when planning their trip. We believe three days in Uluru is a comfortable minimum. This will give you enough time to see Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

If you plan to explore Kings Canyon, add another day at least, preferably two, so you can stay overnight there. You could easily fill five days if you like to take things slowly and relax a little by the pool.

If you are on a tight schedule and only have two days, it’s probably best to book a camping tour or a glamping style package so someone else can make sure that you don’t miss anything.

Have you seen our Uluru Accommodation tips ?

The nearest airport to Uluru and the Ayers Rock Resort is Yulara. Alice Springs is the other option, but it’s more than a 4-hour drive away. There are daily direct flights available from Sydney and Melbourne. Flights from other cities are available a few times a week, or you may need to change to Alice Springs or Sydney/Melbourne. Flying time from all cities is about 3-4 hours.

Flying into Yulara

When flying into Yulara, there are free transfers from the airport to all the accommodation at the resort. You will find the buses right outside the doors of the terminal and they greet every flight.

Want to see Uluru from the plane? If you’re curious about which side of the place to sit to see Uluru from the air, book a seat on the left side of the plane for the best view of as you fly into town. You will get as close as 2km from the rock.

Train to Uluru

You can take the Ghan from Adelaide or Darwin . The trip from Adelaide is 23 hours, so this is a ride you take for the journey and not the destination.

It’s also quite expensive, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Ghan stops at Alice Springs, where you can join a bus or flight to Yulara.

Uluru rises 348 metres above ground, making it taller than the Eiffel Tower & there is another 6km underground!

Bus to Uluru

The only direct bus to Uluru is from Alice Springs. You can take a Greyhound bus from either Darwin, 22 hours, or Adelaide, 21 hours to reach Alice then change. These services can be useful for backpackers wanting to stop at some sites along the way, like Katherine and Coober Pedy.

Uluru Resort Shuttle

Once you arrive at the Yulara resort, there is a free shuttle bus that stops at all the accommodation and the Visitors Centre, Town Square, and Camel Farm. This free service does not go to Uluru or Kata Tjuta. Service begins at 10.30 am and ends at 12.30 am and operates every 20 minutes. At peak times, they seem to come a little more frequently.

Uluru Hop on Hop off (HOHO) Service

If you wish to visit the Rock or Kata Tjuta and you don’t want to rent a car, you might consider the Uluru HOHO offers. They offer both transfer services to Uluru or Kata Tjuta or 1, 2, and 3 day passes.

Renting a car is the best way to see Uluru unless you are a solo traveller. While petrol is expensive, so are day tours and with three or more a car is certainly more economical. If you have not driven on this side of the road, this could be a good place to start. There are few cars around, and the streets around the resort are in excellent condition. The biggest danger occurs when driving at dusk or dawn, when there is a danger of hitting animals who seem to like to be on the road at this time of day. For this reason, either avoid this time of day or drive with this in mind and also make sure you have proper insurance.

You can fly from Alice Springs in 1 hour or drive in 4.5hrs

• You don’t need a four-wheel drive. They cost a lot more in fuel and are not required for the terrain.
• If you book your car at the airport, make sure it includes unlimited mileage, especially if you are planning to visit Kings Canyon.
• You can hire a car for just one or two days if you don’t want it for your entire visit.
• Many rental companies have conditions attached to your rental agreement that stipulate you will not be covered by insurance for driving between sunset and sunrise. This does not include within the resort and National Park areas. It mainly refers to driving between Alice Springs and Uluru, or Kings Canyon and Uluru.
• If you are coming from Alice Springs, ask about relocation deals on vehicles. They can save you a bunch!
• A national park pass–a 3-day pass will let you explore
• A fly net – or buy on arrival
• Good walking shoes that are NOT white
• An empty credit card
• A one-litre water bottle

My must-see may not be yours, so here is a pretty comprehensive list of things you can do and see for you to work through. I would recommend at least one sunrise tour, one sunset and the Field of Light as my minimum. A guided tour with an Anangu guide is also highly recommended. Try to do it on the first day to learn some of the cultural significance before the rest of your visit.

• Enjoy breakfast and an Uluru sunrise
• See the sunrise and visit Kata Tjuta at Uluru combined on a 6 hour tour
• Take a 2.5 hr sunset camel tour and enjoy some enjoy Australian beer, wine, champagne and outback bush foods and damper.
• See Uluru Sacred Sites & enjoy the sunset with optional BBQ dinner
• Do the Base Walk at Uluru – on foot or bicycle or Segway tour , which is a great way to keep teens engaged
• Take a chopper flight over the entire site or a quick flight over the rock
• Explore the Kuniya Walk and see the Mutitjulu Waterhole walk at Uluru on a small group tour with an experienced guide and breakfast!
• Learn more about the Anangu people and explore the cultural centre collection with a Anangu elder
• Join a dot painting workshop
• See the sunrise at Kata-Tjuta
• See the sunset at Kata-Tjuta
• Do the Valley of the Winds walk at Kata Tjuta
• Do the Walpa Gorge walk
• Uluru Star Gazing experience
• Visit Bruce Munro’s art installation – Field of Light at sunrise and add Kata Tjuta Sunset, including wine and canapes and sunrise at Uluru on the value package.

First, you need to accept that this is not a budget holiday, but there are ways to reduce your costs a little.

• Buy your National Park pass online and make sure you select the 5-day option. It’s no more expensive than the standard 3-day pass.
• Resist the urge to stay in Alice Springs; it’s not cheaper – it’s a 4-hour drive!
• Free camping is not a good idea – The nearest free camp, Curtis Springs Station, is 100km away – you will spend your savings on fuel and will have to get up very early to see the sunrise. The Uluru campground is approx. $35 a night
• Buy your fly net when you get there–they are cheap 2 for $15
• There is a decent-sized IGA at the resort where you can buy groceries.
• You can buy take away alcohol from the Outback Pioneer Bar. Beware, it is costly. I paid $41 for a six-pack of beer.

Please don’t mark the rock–your initials are not cool

It’s not unsafe to be in the park/walking afternoon earlier in summer, but the weather/restrictions need to be followed. The tracks will close when the temperatures reach 36 degrees. Don’t ignore these closures; we walked in 29-degree heat, and it felt very much hotter with limited shade and only two water taps on our 11km hike – and the water did not taste good at all!

Carry water with you, more than you think you will need. We took 2 litres and drank it all.

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

3 Day Uluru Kata-Tjuta Kings Canyon (Camping) - from Alice Springs

The 3 day/2 night tour of the Red Center was spectacular. Our tour guide Sheeana was amazing!!! She was so informative, full of energy the entire time, and very accommodating. We weren’t able to fully climb certain hikes, so she modified our experience. It was so good to not feel pressured to go over our physical limitations and have a guide to tell us details about everything we were seeing. The camps were beyond expectation. We aren’t really camping people, so we were nervous about what we were getting ourselves into. The private tents were comfy, the showers and toilets were not scary at all, and we had electricity to charge phones in the main common area. It was perfect for groups, couples, or individuals that aren’t heavily experienced outdoors people. We highly recommend this tour!

3 Day Uluru Adventure

Our young guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and capable as well as fun! He prioritized safety of the group which was so important in the heat we experienced during our tour. He was able to give us options to suit various ability levels and even managed to let us swim in a pool in between hikes one day! Your itinerary said there would be a tour of a camel farm, which there was not. I think your itinerary should state that the guides may have to change or modify activities due to weather conditions. We did get to the 3 main parks/landmarks and do the main hikes that were listed, which is what I went for. The campsites were "rustic," meaning not high end, but it was camping and was a true Outback experience. Loved it!

Number of Travellers

Any message (optional)

Departing from either Alice Springs or Yulara (Uluru Airport) we head towards Uluru (Ayers Rock) stopping off at Mt Connor (false Uluru) lookout for a view of this mighty red mountain and Curtin Springs for a toilet stop before arriving at our campground for lunch. After lunch, those arriving via Ayers Rock Airport will join the group before we head to the Red Centre’s Aboriginal interpretive cultural centre. We have a chance to learn about the cultural, ecological, historical and geological significance of this very special national park. With the anticipation and excitement growing we make a short drive towards the base of Uluru as we begin to comprehend the sheer size and magnificence of the giant monolith, getting up close and personal to explore further. Walking to Mutitjulu waterhole we discover sacred rock art sites in family caves and hear the creation stories of Kuniya and Liru as we continue our base walk towards Kuniya Piti. From here we drive around sacred sites towards Kantju Gorge where we envisage the highest waterfall in Central Australia, (truly a spectacle to behold, even more so when raining) an elders cave and the world’s oldest pantry. After exploring the world’s most impressive rock up close and personal, we retreat for panoramic views to witness one of the most incredible sunsets on the planet, all whilst having dinner cooked for you, to feed those hungry eyes and allow you to get to know your fellow travellers.

Meals: *Lunch, Dinner (*not included for guests being collected in Ayers Rock) Accom: Ayers Rock Coach Campground – Permanent Tents or Bush Swags (communal bathroom facilities) Driving Distance: 350km Hike Distance: 2-3 km / 2-3 hours

We wake early for a light breakfast and head off for a spectacular sunrise in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. You thought Uluru was special and just when you think it couldn’t get any more majestic we approach the stunning silhouette of Kata Tjuta. Here we set off on a hike through the Valley of the Winds or Walpa Gorge marvelling at the mighty conglomerate rock formations. After exploring Kata Tjuta we make our way towards Kings Canyon region just in time to experience a glorious outback sunset followed by a hearty meal around the campfire.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Accom: Kings Creek Station – Permanent Tents or Bush Swags (communal campground facilities) Driving Distance: 406 km (4.5 Hours) Hike Distance: 2-6 km / 2-4 hours (*weather dependent)

We head off early to explore the mighty Kings Canyon (Watarrka) venturing into the ancient landscape and sacred grounds of the Ulpanyali and Lilla people. Arriving at the jewel in the crown at the centre of Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon) we find ourselves surrounded by towering 100-metre cliff faces, views of sandstone chasms and jaw-dropping backdrops that will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Grab your water, hat and sturdy shoes as we set off on foot to explore (the most seasonally applicable part of) the canyon in more detail. Rest up in the bus as we head back up north, passing through Alice Springs and heading out towards the West MacDonnell Ranges for an evening of stargazing at our bush camp.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Accom: West MacDonnell Ranges – Permanent Tents or Bush Swags (private portable facilities) Driving Distance: 370km (4 hours) Hike Distance: 4-6 km / 3-4 hours

Known traditionally as Angkerle Atwatye, meaning “Gap of Water”, Standley Chasm is a 3-metre-wide, 80-metre-high gorge amongst the West MacDonnell Ranges. At dawn, we hope to spot the native wildlife as we enjoy breakfast and look forward to the day ahead. Tracking west you are welcome to enjoy a dip in Ellery Creek Bighole, known traditionally as Udepata, surrounded by tall red cliffs and sandy Ellery Creek. Onwards to where massive geological forces created the towering red walls of Ormiston Gorge. Spend time here admiring nature and its finest before we begin our leisurely journey back towards Alice Springs, with our final stop at another amazing feature of the Tjoritja West MacDonnell region, Simpsons Gap, where several dreaming trails and stories cross. Featuring a permanent waterhole this is also a great place to spot resident wildlife. Now we’ve had our fix of the best of central Australia’s natural icons, we deliver you back to Alice Springs to your chosen accommodation and evening plans as you reminisce your four days of exploration and new friends made.
