Experience the Australian Outback and its vast, open ridges and valley trails with water holes. Traverse the Walpa Gorge at Kata Tjuta (Olgas), a tumbled mass of protruding rock domes; then discover Ayers Rock (Uluru), an ancient sandstone monolith and sacred site. Plus, discover Aboriginal art. Sunset buffet dinner is included.

Begin your day with a drive on Stuart Highway along West MacDonnell National Park mountain ranges and break at a typical outback roadside stop, Jim’s Place in Stuart’s Well. Back on board, cross remote plains and experience the vast openness of the Outback where you’ll see Erldunda, Mt. Ebenezer, and stunning sand ridges clad with desert oaks. Stop off at Curtin Springs Station (where time is allowed for an optional camel ride).

At Ayer’r Rock (Uluru), enjoy a full-circuit guided tour around Uluru base, learning about geology and legends of the rock. Visit the Uluru and Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre and discover Aboriginal culture and art. Then, take a guided walk to Mutitjulu Waterhole to view Aboriginal art and learn of the law, legends, and bush tucker of the Anangu people.

Spend the remainder of your tour at Kata Tjuta, where you can explore the many walking trails that lead to cool valleys and secluded water holes.
