Itinerary
Day 1: Kata Tjuta and Uluru Sunset
Alice Springs is really where you need to go to understand the heart and soul of Australia. Meet your tour guide and fellow travelers at the Alice Springs pick-up point this morning and set off to explore the Red Centre. For those starting their tour from Ayers Rock, pick up time is 2pm.
Uluru is the heart of Australia and represents so much about this country; its size, its beauty and its culture. Shortly after you arrive, the unmistakable Uluru will emerge from the earth as one giant boulder. Walk off your lunch at Kata Tjuta which is only a short drive away. With its 36 various-sized domes, it provides quite a contrast to Uluru. You’ll get to know the landscape pretty well on an afternoon hike between the domes. As the evening unfolds, enjoy a light snack as the sun slowly sets casting a variety of earthy tones across Uluru. The perfect end to a remarkable day is awaiting you back at camp, as you enjoy a delicious spread of food with your group. If the weather permits, sit outside under the stars.

Day 2: Uluru
An early start this morning is rewarded with an Uluru sunrise as the sun hits the icon like a beacon, before the light floods the surrounding landscape. Your guide will take you to one of the significant cultural sights of Uluru, outlining Anangu rock art and passing on one of the creation stories of the site. While the morning is fresh, the time is yours to enjoy the self-guided, full base walk of Uluru, taking in all of the textures and valleys up-close, which isn’t evident from afar. Once you’ve had lunch, perhaps purchase some art at the Cultural Centre, hand-crafted by local First Nation Peoples of the Western and Central Deserts. Travel onto our exclusive campsite near the Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon), where the group will have dinner and enjoy the stars.

The main attraction of Watarrka National Park is undoubtedly Kings Canyon – a huge gorge enclosed by sheer rock walls many meters high. With its porous sandstone, deep gullies and hidden rock pools, it provides shelter to more than 600 species of native plants and animals. Your guide will point these out on a trek that takes in the canyon’s most famous locations such as the Lost City, the Garden of Eden, Amphitheatre, and ofcourse North & South Walls of the canyon. After lunch, we hit the road again for a three-hour drive to Yulara in the late afternoon. This evening, you have choice to enjoy one of the following optional activities; a Sunset Camel Cruise, the Field of Lights, Sounds of Silence, the Wintjiri Wiru Drone display; or if you’d like to experience the Uluru sunset from a different perspective (and free of charge), tonight is the opportunity to do it!

Why you’ll love this trip
Witnessing an Uluru sunset is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Have your camera ready when taking in this spectacular sight.
Visit the Outback town of Alice Springs before your trip, then save time and accommodation after your trip by flying out of Yulara Ayers Rock Airport (very close to Yulara), which is only minutes away from Uluru. By finishing your tour at Yulara (Ayers Rock Resort), you’ll save five (5) hours of driving-time compared to a tour that finishes in Alice Springs. By finishing your tour at Yulara you will save one night accommodation at Alice Springs too.
Wander through the iconic domes of Kata Tjuta, gaze in awe at the sacred rock of Uluru and hike through natural amphitheaters, rocky chasms, and lush oasis in Kings Canyon.
Eat under the stars and camp within privately owned sites on the red earth of the Outback and experience the true magic of the Red Centre.
Is this trip right for you?
This is a basic camping experience sleeping in a swag. A swag in an Australian invention. It’s a bed roll with a thinner mattress and a canvas cover. You hop inside with your sleeping bag then zip yourself up, only allowing enough space to view the amazing stars above you.
Temperatures in the Red Centre can be extreme. During the day the weather can be more than 40 degrees Celsius in the shade (the Australian sun is very strong) so please bring appropriate clothing, use sun protection, and drink plenty of water. During the months of June, July and August, the evening temperatures can drop below zero degrees Celsius, so bring some thick socks, layers and a warm jacket.
This trip requires a moderate level of fitness as it involves a lot of walking, allowing you to really get among nature. Please bring sturdy, comfortable walking shoes and comfortable clothing.
On most days of the trip, you’ll spend several hours driving through very remote areas of the desert. Crank up the tunes and sit back to enjoy landscapes that you would miss in any other form of travel.
Group participation is important on this trip, so you’ll be required to help with the preparation of meals and cleaning up. These are the kind of tasks that bring a group closer together.

No. Tour prices do not include any travel arrangements other than for the duration of the tour itself. If you need assistance with booking flights or buses our travel team and certainly help - Just ask!

Bookings can still be made right up until the departure date of the tour if seats are available. If you know when you'd like to travel, please contact us and we will let you know if you need to book soon or if you have time.
If I make a deposit only, when will I need to pay the balance?

Who travels with us
Is this tour for me?
Our tours are made up of small groups with a range of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds. Generally people who travel with us are between 20 and 49, though we also get alot passengers much older onboard - everyone is welcome! On tour we get equally as many males as females and everyone shares an enthusiasm for the out doors, nature, adventure and culture. Our tours are for those wanting to really explore and share the experience with likeminded travellers. Whether we are camping by a billabong in Kakadu National Park or sharing a cabin in Tasmania, our travellers want more than just a site seeing tour. They are chasing a hands on group experience. The trips are packed with many highlights and the pace can be fast. There may be some long drives and passengers should expect to help out when setting up camp or cooking food - this is a group adventure. However, there’s always time to chill out, have a cold beer ( or wine! ) and soak up your surroundings. As always, if in doubt then contact us directly with your concerns.
Cost and Fees
What does "Paid Locally" mean?
Some tours require you to pay national park fees directly, in cash, to the tour guide on the morning of departure. Rest assured this will be subtracted from the tour price when reserving your tour.
Will I need additional money?
Visitors are advised to bring some cash as ATMs and banks can be few and far between depending on where we are during the trip. Its handy to have some extra cash as we do stop by local shops and cafe.
Do I need to tip our guide?
If you had an amazing time on tour and wish to tip the guide, then that is completely up to you. However, tipping is not customary and is not at all expected.
Are there any hidden fees I need to know about?
Our tour prices are completely transparent. There are no additional fees involved that are not included in the overall tour price shown. If you wish to do optional activities such as helicopter rides or wildlife safaris, then an extra cost may be needed. However, this will always be made clear at the time of your booking.
Whilst on tour
What type of tent will I get?
Tents are generally designed to accommodate a minimum of 2 people. This means there is plenty of room to move about and store your luggage. However, most Uluru tours we try and encourage the use of swags and mattress rather than tents. This is the ideal way to camp in the centre of Australia; Around a campfire, under the stars!
What will the food be like?
Our emphasis is on fresh food wherever possible and our meals are nutritious and varied on these tours. If you are vegetarian or gluten intolerant we can cater for you, but if you have very specific dietary needs you may need to provide your own food, please discuss this at time of booking. For breakfast we supply cereals, fruits, toast, tea and coffee. Lunch is usually a self-serve picnic sandwich and salads; in the evening we have a cooked dinner - This can vary between pastas, bbqs, rices and other hearty food to keep you energized! We always carry water in the vehicle and you will often have the chance to buy your own drinks, ice-creams etc at stops. Please refer to each individual tour/package to establish which meals are included.
Can you cater of special diets?
We can certain cater for most dietary needs. Please advise us at the time of your booking so arrangements can be made. For travellers with more extreme diets we may ask that you bring along additional snacks.
Can I book extra accommodation for the start and end of the tour?
We know our country inside and out and would be happy to give you good recommodations. Please contact us for recommendations.
What form of vehicle do we use?
For our Uluru Tours we toss between a Troop Carrier 4WD Landcruise and a 4WD Mini bus. This depends on the size of the group and the amount of days we are out in the park. Each tour varies so please refer to your tour info panel on the top right hand side of the page.
Are there days where we travel for a long time?
During the first day we usually do a couple of hours driving to get out of the city and into the country side. However, once in the national parks, trips between attractions usually take between 30minutes to an hour.For tours heading up to Darwin or down to Adelaide, expect periods where we drive for a few hours at a time. Australia is enormous and the distance between towns and attractions can be quite large. But don't worry, we take plenty of breaks so your able to stretch and move about.For more accurate information please see tour itineraries.
What will the weather be like?
Between the months of April and August Central Australia is quite cold so be sure to bring warm clothing. Temperatures range from about 20c during the day right down to 2c at night.Between October and March temperature are warm, so light clothing during the day is ok. However, night times can still be quite cool so its wise to bring light winter clothing for extra warm.

Reviews

“An incredible experience”
Such a great experience and highly recommend this tour and company. We chose the swag experience and it was so perfect to sleep under the stars. Beautiful sights and so much culture and history to learn about. Our experience was made by our tour guide Elyse who was a ray of sunshine the entire time and so much fun. From fun facts to bus trivia to nutbush dances! A amazing tour guide and a beautiful soul who was always smiling. Thank you so much Elyse for our experience and to Adventure Tours
“Unique Bush”
Great experience with our guide Élyse! A must-see tour when you are in Australia. Recommended 100%
“Perfect Adventure at Uluru”
Best adventure so far in Australia thanks to Elyse, our lovely guide. Everything was wonderful ! Thank you for those good memories.
“Stunning views”
Beautiful tour, great tour guide, nice group. Great views and sleeping under shining stars. Elyse was a super tour guide. Take a fly net with you and prepare for heat! It is HOT
“Mitch.”
We had a very good time ! The tour was a nice balance between activities, explications and rest-time, thanks to Elyse who was an exceptional, nice and patient guide !
We left the tour with plenty of new awesome memories !
“Amazing experience”
The whole tour from start to finish was amazing. Despite the early starts and hot weather the walks were all stunning and rewarding. Camping may be a challenge for some but it's worth it for the authentic experience and a chance to better connect with and focus on the surreal surroundings you're staying in. Our tour guide, Elyse, was fun, friendly and informative the entire trip. She always kept everything on track, kept everyone entertained and made sure to teach us something at every opportunity and always made a point to stress the importance of the connection to the local land and people of the areas we were visiting. I'm not sure if the experience would have been the same without her! Highly recommend this trip
“Trip of a lifetime!”
I did the Red Centre Camping Safari last week as a mum and son adventure with my nearly 9yo boy and it was wonderful. It was extremely well organised - experiences, walks, lodging, food - and our guide Tye was the most wonderful: always smily, ready to help, and so knowledgeable. So much so that my son wants to do it again, but only with the same guide. Be aware that it's not for every children. My son gladly followed every day through the 4:15am wake ups and the long, sometimes difficult (Kings Canyon Rim) walks, and yet he really struggled with the heat the first day at Kata-Tjuta. I extended the trip with a night at a nearby lodge and I can say you learn so much more and do / see so much more with this Adventure Tours experience. Thank you Tye for sharing your love of the Red Centre, and thank you Greg for making us all laugh. We loved it so much I'm already looking into our next adventure!
“Amazing!”
Mitch was great Really enjoyed my Uluru trip! Amazing views and an unforgettable experience! Would definitely recommend!
“That was great!”
Our trip to Uluru was absolutely amazing! Everything was well-organized from start to finish — smooth transport, great timing, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the stunning views. The experience was unforgettable, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the journey. Our guide, Mitch, was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the area. He shared fascinating stories and made the whole experience even more special. We really appreciated his sense of humor and how he made everyone feel welcome. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Uluru — you’ll have an incredible time, especially if you get Mitch as your guide!
“Great adventure”
I had the most amazing time on this trip. Both guides (Elyse & Mitchell) really looked after us and ensured we had an amazing experience. Would really recommend this tour!
“Fantastic Experience!”

Tour activities were well balanced, Mitch manoeuvred the heat pretty well and kept us entertained the whole trip.
The only thing I feel I missed out on was meeting Bruce. :(
“Great tour”
I had a great experience on the tour with Mitch! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole day fun and easy-going. Everything was well organised, and we got to see some amazing spots. I would definitely recommend taking a tour with Mitch.
“Come for the views stay for the stories”
Had a once in a lifetime outback experience with Big Mitch, King of the Desert. The man was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the Outbacks plants and wildlife and also about the culture and history of the traditional owners of the land.
The tour is an incredible way to experience the Red Centre and I can't recommend it enough.
“Outback camping HELL YEA”
A once in a lifetime experience that’s a must do! Daddy Mitch was extremely knowledgeable about the history and cultural relevance of the areas including the wildlife and plant life.
I now feel lost without Mitch telling me where to go and what to do. How will I adjust to normal life without him?
“A genuine experience of the outback”
Wowsers, what a trip. Absolutely 10/10 time having a genuine experience of the outback and the regions cultural heritage. Good character building in the swags but wouldn't have had it any other way in hindsight.
We had Mitch the Yowie whisperer as our guide. Couldn't have asked for a better bloke to lead us into the unknown. He was attentive and organised whilst also making the trip feels like a grand adventure with a bunch of mates. Really nice group with a mix of ages. Mitch was incredibly knowledgeable and respectful of the history of the traditional owners as well as local flora & fauna.
10/10
Treat yourself and book it.
“Once in a lifetime experience”
Once in a lifetime experience!! Our guide was very passionate about the cultural heritage of the area and also told us a lot about it‘s Geology. Sleeping under the stars was mesmerizing. We had an amazing tour and were taken great care of although the weather was very hot!!
“Once in a lifetime experience”

Thanks Hannah for all your support during the whole tour!
“10/10”
What a great tour. The schedule worked really well to fit in the activities at ideal times of day as well as the driving. Even though the weather wasn’t great at times, it was still a stunning trip. Hannah was an amazing guide, kept the spirits high and was very knowledgeable about the area.
“Uluru”
Beautiful experience camping through this area. Our tour guide Hannah made this tour wonderful! My favorite part was getting to see aboriginal art being made and becoming one with nature.
“Uluru trip review!”
We had an amazing time. Hannah was GREAT and we feel lucky to have gotten her as a guide. The trip was so much fun and we got to see so much of the area and learn so much about the history and culture. It’s a beautiful area. I would recommend bringing a bug net too. Both the tour and our guide Hannah were great. I would definitely recommend this if your looking to see and learn more about uluru

“Fantastic, especially with Tye as our guide”
Such a cool and unique experience. Getting to experience the Outback with such an amazing guide. Tye is fantastic, so knowledgeable, funny, and overall just a nice person. The camping accommodations were nicer than expected. Seeing Uluru was iconic along with kings canyon and Alice springs. The animals were so cute. Three nights was the perfect amount of time to get a taste of the Outback.
“Wonderful trip to Uluru and Kings Canyon”
We undertook a 4 day trip to Uluru and Kings Canyon, stayed in 2 luxurious tents ( Dreamtime escarpment) in the Outback. It was an exceptional wildlife experience. Don’t miss the King’s Canyon Rim Walk! Our guide Asha was extremely knowledgeable, professional and warm- hearted. If you can spend time with her during your time in the Outback, you won’t be disappointed.
“An unforgettable experience!”
A wonderful experience observing a sunset at Uluru in perfect conditions followed by two nights under the stars in a swagbag. All very memorable and backed up with a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide.
“4 day tour from Alice Springs to Uluru and Kings canyon”
Can really recommend this tour because it is interested in local culture and nature. You get a taste of the centre of Australia. Good for those who can do without luxury but there are always good toilets and shower facilities! Just book!
“Wondrous Uluru , Kata Tjuṯa & Kings Canyon”
This was an excellent adventure with a fun group of people but it would have not happened without our fabulous tour guides Abby & Libby. It was Libby’s first tour and you would not have known as she was amazing alongside Abby’s great guidance. Uluru base camp walk, sunset & sunrise, Kata Tjuṯa and Kings Canyon rim walk all wondrous beyond words. Truly blessed to have experienced these special and sacred places. Thankyou
“An unforgettable experience of uluru”
The tour was amazing. Our tour guide Mitch made the experience truly one to remember, from the breathtaking views to the late night stories and conversations by the fire this tour is one that you will never forget.

Great trip! Tour guide, Mitch, was really knowledgeable and was great at engaging the whole group (singles, couples and kids). Spectacular walks. Tents had beds so were comfortable.
“What an amazing adventure!”
We had an amazing experience with Adventure Tours during our trip to Ayers Rock and Kings Canyon. Our guide, Elyse, was absolutely fantastic – knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and always making sure everyone felt included and comfortable. The tour was very well organized from start to finish. The places we stayed at were clean, well-equipped, and perfectly suited for the trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore the Red Centre. Highly recommended!

Very good trip, lots to do and very well informed, loved kings canyon. Mitch was great and even lent me his trackies so I didn’t freeze because I forgot mine! :))))
“Uluru in August with Lorrie”
Did this experience with 10 other girls through OceanZen Travel Company, we had Lorrie as our guide but she just felt apart of our holiday/crew as she joined in on the fun and adventure. She was very knowledgeable, caring and kept us on time for our schedule. Absolutely recommend Lorrie for your adventures.
“Amazing”
Lovely experience with tour guide Tye- professional service, well planned & executed, humours & friendly, helpful & caring, always available & at times went 'above & beyond' - will highly recommend him
“Lorrie Made Our Trip Unforgettable!”
We absolutely loved having Lorrie as our tour guide! From the moment the trip started, she brought such good vibes — great energy, fun chats on the bus, and loads of knowledge about the area. She was super organised and proactive, making sure we got the most out of every moment of our day. Thanks to her, we caught the best sunrise spots and were even the first ones in the canyon (such a magic experience!).
What made it extra special is that it didn’t just feel like a guide–guest relationship — Lorrie quickly became a friend. We woke up to nice music each morning, were kept well-fed with her delicious cooking, and always felt the positive atmosphere she created. Couldn’t recommend her enough — she truly made our trip unforgettable!
“Best experience!”
This tour was amazing! I loved it from start to finish. Our tour guide Lorrie was incredible - she was so knowledgeable about the area and presented everything in a very culturally sensitive way throughout the tour. She gave us different options of things do at different locations, helped a lot of us through our first ever swag camping experience (!) and was such great company (with great music taste), she really made the tour for us - I can't recommend her and the company enough. Will definitely go with Adventure Tours again!
“Amazing sights and the best tour guide Lorrie”
Lorrie is an incredible tour guide! She has so much knowledge and is the woman with all the answers. Not only is she a tour guide but she formed a very special place in our group as a friend, being so down to earth, kind and funny. She also can cook up a very delicious meal and doesn't mind catering to any dietary requirements. We were kept punctual meaning that we got to spend so much time at places exploring. She knows the best sunset spots too. Thank you Lorrie
“Super fun!”
Such a fun and memorable trip with some hard work but some beautiful sights. Shout out to Ryan for being the best tour guide. Still don’t know how he puts in all those hours but he was super energetic and gave us a lot of laughs.
“Uluṟu tour”
Tye was a fantastic tour guide! Made the tour what it was! We had a great time! We chose to get the tents which were very comfortable. 10/10 would recommend.
“Amazing experience! Tye the best tour guide!”
We had a fantastic experience on this tour! Our guide, Tye, was amazing — very knowledgeable about the Red Centre, well-organised, and always in good spirits. His knowledge and passion for Aboriginal culture was exceptional, and he really got the entire group engaged in learning about the culture of the Red Centre. He went out of his way to make everyone’s experience easier and more enjoyable.
The highlights for us were the base walk around Uluru and the breathtaking hike at Kings Canyon.
Be aware that it’s a participatory tour, so everyone pitches in with small tasks like setting up swags, helping with dinner, and washing dishes.
Overall, the experience in the Outback was truly unforgettable — a great way to explore such a unique and special part of Australia.
“4 days adventure tour Uluru with Captain Vegemite”
It was a great 4 days trip from Yulara with our tourguide Wayne. He knows a lot of the Aboriginals culture, the surroundings, bushcraft and has a great sense of humor. It was a great adventure with camping (sleeping in a swag or a tent), joint cooking and do the dishes, but most of all great hikes, great views and we learned a lot about the Aboriginals and history. And although it is a 3,5 hours ride to Kings Canyon on day 2, it was totally worth it. The spectacular views, the challenging hike makes it one of the highlights of our visit of Australia.
“Adventurous , sublime”
Very beautiful experience especially Wayne , the Vegemite guy , he was so helpful and kind , because of him I would say it it was very special
“ecommended tour is you want to see and learn”
Did the 4 day yulara to yulara tour. Stayed in tents in both yulara and kings canyon. It was a great trip, mainly because of the guides. Ty is an excellent tour guide, friendly, good humored and enthusiastic all the time. Told many interesting stories about the culture and nature of the land. Highly recommend this tour
“Absolutely unforgettable”
This trip was absolutely unforgettable! Everything was so well organized, and I was amazed by how much I enjoyed sleeping in the swags under the stars.
The shared campsite bathrooms had hot water, and the hikes were very manageable – you can take them at a comfortable pace.
Our guide, Mitch, was simply fantastic. His knowledge and passion for the Outback – its geography, vegetation, and especially Aboriginal culture – were truly inspiring. He always made sure everyone felt comfortable and worked hard to give us the best experience possible. And on top of that, he turned out to be a great cook, with incredible energy that made the whole tour fun and relaxed.
I will never forget the moment I saw Uluru for the first time – be prepared to feel deeply moved! A huge thank you to Adventure Tours and Mitch for these wonderful days that I will always carry in my heart.
“Trip of a lifetime!”
I did the Red Centre Camping Safari last week as a mum and son adventure with my nearly 9yo boy and it was wonderful. It was extremely well organised - experiences, walks, lodging, food - and our guide Tye was the most wonderful: always smily, ready to help, and so knowledgeable. So much so that my son wants to do it again, but only with the same guide. Be aware that it's not for every children. My son gladly followed every day through the 4:15am wake ups and the long, sometimes difficult (Kings Canyon Rim) walks, and yet he really struggled with the heat the first day at Kata-Tjuta. I extended the trip with a night at a nearby lodge and I can say you learn so much more and do / see so much more with this Adventure Tours experience. Thank you Tye for sharing your love of the Red Centre, and thank you Greg for making us all laugh. We loved it so much I'm already looking into our next adventure!
“GREAT!”
Shearna was our tourguide and I have never had a tourguide who was so enthusiastic and lovely! She was very knowledgeable and worked very hard to give us a pleasant time. We sure had a special trip, as we were in the 1% of all tourists who got to see waterfalls on Uluru because of the extreme rainfall we had on the first two days. Sleeping on a campground sure is less luxurious than staying in a hotel, but that definitely made the experience more special and cool.
“Great adventure trip”
Beautiful circular tour with super hikes in impressive nature. Everything was well organized and everyone helped at the camp.
Great Guide Mitch thank you!
“Must do experience”
Elyse was incredible! The whole trip went so smoothly and you could tell it was well organised. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the sights the red centre has to offer, even with the early wake up calls to beat the heat.would highly recommend using adventure tours if you are thinking of doing a trip to Uluru
“Fantastic Tour! Lovely Day!”
I cannot recommend this tour enough! You get to see Uluru, Kata Tjuṯa and kings canyon while learning about the impressive history behind it. Thanks to our amazing tour guide Tye, the days were filled with hikes, a good amount of information, many laughter and delicious food. Would to it over and over again.
“Fantastic Tour! Lovely Day!”

“Wonderful experience!”
This tour overpassed my expectations from start to finish, everything was incredibly well-organised and enjoyable. It was my first time camping, and sleeping in a swag under the stars was an amazing experience I will never forget. The meals were delicious, and the snacks provided along the way kept us happy and energised. A huge part of what made this trip so special was our guide, Miskha. He was incredibly friendly, caring, and attentive to everyone in the group. He made sure we felt comfortable, safe, and truly part of the experience. His knowledge of the land, the history, and Aboriginal culture was impressive, and he shared it with such passion and respect. He really went above and beyond to make this tour unforgettable.
