About this tour
Three nights in the Red Centre's heart, based near Yulara, lets you tick off Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon without rushing. You'll catch sunrise and sunset at Uluru, walk the Walpa Gorge beneath towering sandstone walls, and tackle the Kings Canyon Rim for panoramic desert views. Nights are spent in comfortable eco tents with proper beds—camping that doesn't mean roughing it entirely. All meals and transport in an all-terrain coach are included.
Highlights
- Uluru sunrise and sunset from dedicated viewing areas
- Walpa Gorge Walk through Kata Tjuta's dramatic red cliffs
- Kings Canyon Rim Walk with full-circle desert perspectives
- Permanent eco tents with beds, not sleeping bags
- All meals cooked on-site and included
- Small-group all-terrain coach transport
- Ewings Lookout for wide-angle sunset views
What to expect
Days start early for Uluru's sunrise, then you'll return for breakfast before heading out on walks. The Walpa Gorge track winds between towering red walls—cooler, shaded hiking. Kings Canyon's rim walk is the most demanding section: 6 kilometres with climbs and descents, but the views justify it. Evenings gather around camp for dinner under stars. The eco tents are permanent structures with real beds and heating, pitched at a designated campsite. Expect red dust, big skies, and genuine quiet after dark. You'll need moderate fitness for the walks; the coach handles all driving.
Good to know
Start near Yulara airport for convenience. Bring sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)—the desert sun is relentless. Wear proper walking boots; the terrain is rocky. Public transport reaches the area, though the tour coach is included. Pack warm layers; desert nights cool quickly. Moderate fitness required for rim walks.
