OCHRE SIGHTSEEING PASS

Sit back and relax as you travel into the amazing Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park. Your Driver Guide will provide details of the afternoon’s itinerary while you enjoy the amazing surrounds and incredible sight of Uluru in the distance.

As you head toward the iconic Uluru, you’ll take in the sites of Kata Tjuta, also known as the Olgas.

Once you’re settled at the Sunset Viewing area, you’ll be served from a selection of Australian wines and nibbles while you begin to absorb the beauty of your surroundings. You can just relax or stroll around the Sunset Viewing Area to discover your own personal space to watch the amazing sunset.

As the sun sets over the western horizon you’ll be witness to the majestic presence and many shades of colour for which Uluru is most famous

You’ll rise early and travel to Talinguru Nyakunytjaku – the Uluru sunrise viewing area. Enjoy a light breakfast and warming tea or coffee while you begin to absorb the enormity and beauty of your surroundings.

You’ll have an incredible view through stunning desert landscape as the sun rises over Uluru and Kata Tjuta. From the viewing platform it is possible to see way into the distance, providing an ideal photo opportunity.

Kuniya Piti
Board your coach for the drive to the sacred site of Kuniya Piti. You’ll be captivated as your guide shares the Tjukurpa (beliefs and law of the local Aboriginal people, the Anangu) story of the Mala Men.

Mala Walk
Next you’ll continue around the base of Uluru to the Mala Walk. Here you’ll see some of the sacred sites where Aboriginal communities live and prepare for ceremony. Some believe that as you walk through this area, you’ll be surrounded by the spirit of the Mala Tjukurpa – the hare-wallaby people.

Kantju Gorge
The vision of a powerful waterfall in a desert setting is really something to see, particularly after rain when the water flows from the side of Uluru and plunges into Kantju Gorge.

Lungkata Walk
After a short rest break, continue along the Lungkata Walk, where your guide will tell you the Tjukurpa story of the cheeky Blue Tongue Lizard!

Mutitjulu Waterhole Walk
The Mutitjulu Waterhole was once a valuable source of water for the Anangu. Here you’ll see ancient Aboriginal rock paintings and learn about the Indigenous and European history of Uluru. Complete your walk at Kuniya Piti, where you’ll board your coach back to town and receive a certificate of your achievement – walking the base of Uluru!

You’ll get a sense of the remoteness of outback Australia as you travel to Kings Creek Station. Watch as the local wildlife wakes for the day – dromedary camels, kangaroos, brumbies and dingoes.

Kings Creek Station - This cattle and camel station covers 1,800 square kilometres. Relax in the café where you’ll be treated to a cooked breakfast. Their coffee is said to be the best in the Territory!

Kings Canyon - Located in the heart of Watarrka National Park, Kings Canyon lies in an ancient Australian landscape that is sacred ground for the Ulpanyali and Lilla people.

Rim Walk - The six kilometre Rim Walk is a once in a lifetime experience. Climb up a 100 metre cliff face and walk around the rim of the canyon. Marvel at impressive views of sandstone walls, grottos, chasms and cliffs.

The Garden of Eden - Deep down between sandstone cliffs, is the Garden of Eden – a true oasis. Here is a natural spring waterhole surrounded by local and exotic plants and trees such as gums, bonsai looking trees and enormous prehistoric ferns, creating a truly unique landscape.

Creek Bed Walk - The Creek Bed Walk is ideal if you’re interested in something more relaxing. After leisurely taking in the sights, set off on a two kilometre stroll along the creek bed, that leads to views of the impressive canyon rim.

Kings Canyon Resort - Now we’re off to Kings Canyon Resort – an oasis in the outback! Treat yourself to lunch (own expense). To see Kings Canyon from above, take an optional scenic helicopter flight (creek bed walkers only), or bring your swimmers if you’d like to take a dip in the resort’s pool.

Scenic Return Journey - Enjoy amazing outback scenery as we head back to Ayers Rock Resort
