Australia · ULURU & AYERS ROCK TOURS
13 reviewed
Uluru stands on Anangu land, jointly managed with Parks Australia, and the climb has been closed since October 2019. What the good operators sell instead is the base loop, the Mala walk under the north face at sunrise, the viewing platforms at sunset and the domes of Kata Tjuta. Below is what each trip covers, what it costs, and which ones run out of Yulara rather than Alice Springs.
Full-day Alice Springs to Uluru trip with cultural walks, Mala and Mutitjulu sites, plus a sunset BBQ with sparkling wine.
“Trip was fantastic. Driver was great. The barbecue was so tasty and filling. Brilliant day out. Wear comfy shoes and a hat with a fly net. Really enjoyed the day.”
Day trip from Alice Springs to Uluru with guided base walks, Aboriginal cultural centre learning, sunset sparkling wine, and BBQ dinner.
“A long day but it flew by, thanks to a couple of stops on the way to Uluru and the entertaining commentary from driver, Gary. Uluru itself was unsurprisingly stunning, with the sunset BBQ a wonderful end to a lovely day. You might want to pack a fly net, but those blighters apart, it was a truly memorable experience.”
Sunrise over Uluru with Bruce Munro’s Field of Light, 50,000 glowing glass spheres, hot drinks, and early-morning desert views in 2 hours.
“100% worth the early start. Tour guide and driver were both good humoured and great people pleasers. The installation was incredible and like nothing we’d ever seen them later in the tour natural sunrise provided another level of beauty. Hot drinks and biscuits were welcome as even for Brits it was a little chilly in the early hours.”

“Loved riding the Segway around the base of Uluru. Even though I couldn't do the full base tour because of a ceremony what we did see was amazing. Easy to learn and way better than walking around the base. I was smiling the whole trip. Totally recommend it. Anyone can learn how to ride. My guide was patient and highly informed about Uluru.”
