Print ITINERARY

Day 1 Alice Springs – Ayers Rock Early this morning you leave Alice Springs for Uluru (Ayers Rock); a stop at Mt. Conner Lookout and a visit to the Indigenous cultural centre are planned. On the way to Mutitjulu Waterhole you explore rock paintings and immerse yourself in Aboriginal stories. The day ends with a magical sunset over Uluru.

Day 2 Ayers Rock – Kings Canyon You rise early to admire the spectacular sunrise over the impressive silhouette of Kata Tjuta, then set off on a hike in the Valley of the Winds or Walpa Gorge. Afterwards you head for Kings Canyon to discover another Outback must-see.

Day 3 Kings Canyon – West MacDonnell Ranges Today you explore the mighty Kings Canyon (Watarrka) as well as the ancient landscapes and sacred sites of the Ulpanyali and Lilla. You are surrounded by impressive 100-metre-high cliffs, with spectacular views of the sandstone gorges and breathtaking panoramas over the Outback.

Day 4 West MacDonnell Ranges – Alice Springs Today you discover the natural phenomenon of the West MacDonnell Ranges and Ormiston Gorge. Later you reach Standley Chasm, a gorge 3 m wide and 80 m high, which provides an almost surreal backdrop for your explorations. You then visit Simpsons Gap, an iconic site with a permanent waterhole that attracts a wide variety of wildlife and is of great cultural significance, as several Aboriginal Dreaming tracks cross here. You return to Alice Springs with a wealth of unforgettable memories.
