Both tours include a visit to Mutitjulu Waterhole and the Uluru – Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre. There is time for an optional scenic flight (own expense). This evening watch sunset at Uluru whilst enjoying nibbles and a glass of wine.

Day 3: Uluru (Ayers Rock) – Kings Canyon – Alice Springs

An early start from Ayers Rock Resort should reward us with a magnificent desert sunrise en route to Kings Canyon. Breakfast may be purchased at Kings Creek Station (own expense). Make the rocky climb to the rim of the canyon for marvellous views of Watarrka National Park. The walk takes 3 hours and is recommended for those with a good level of fitness. Alternatively, you may wish to explore the boulder-strewn canyon floor. Stop at Kings Canyon Resort to purchase lunch (own expense) before returning to Alice Springs.

Note: During the summer months (Dec – Feb), the Kings Canyon rim climb may not be available in hot weather conditions. An alternative itinerary including guided walks at Kathleen Springs and along the Kings Canyon creek-bed will apply.
