Day 1 - Alice Springs to Uluru
Departing from Alice Springs we head towards Ayers Rock stopping off at Mt Connor (false Uluru) lookout for a view of this mighty red mountain and Curtin Springs for a toilet stop before arriving at our campground for lunch. After lunch, we head to the Red Centre’s Aboriginal interpretive cultural centre. We have a chance to learn about the cultural, ecological, historical, and geological significance of this very special national park. With the anticipation and excitement growing, we make a short drive towards the base of Uluru as we begin to comprehend the sheer size and magnificence of the giant monolith, getting up close and personal to explore further. Walking to the Mutitjulu waterhole, we discover sacred rock art sites in family caves and hear the creation stories of Kuniya and Liru. We continue our base walk towards Kuniya Piti. From here we drive around sacred sites towards Kantju Gorge where we envisage the highest waterfall in Central Australia, (truly a spectacle to behold, even more so when raining) an elders’ cave, and the world’s oldest pantry. After exploring the world’s most impressive rock up close and personal, we retreat for panoramic views to witness one of the most incredible sunsets on the planet, all whilst having dinner cooked for you to feed those hungry eyes.
Hike Distance: 2-3 km / 2-3 hours.
Your accommodation: Ayers Rock Coach Campground
Just 20km from Uluru, Ayers Rock Campground is the ideal base to explore the Red Centre. Choose from air-conditioned cabins, powered sites, or unpowered tent spots beneath native desert oaks, perfect for stargazing. Enjoy a range of facilities including a swimming pool, BBQ area, outdoor kitchen, and self-service laundry. A free shuttle connects you to the resort’s restaurants, shops, supermarket, Tour & Information Centre, art galleries, and daily activities like guided garden walks and Indigenous bush yarns.
Day 2 - Uluru to Kata Tjuta to Kings Canyon
It’s an early rise and light breakfast as we head off for a spectacular sunrise in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. You thought Uluru was special, and just when you think it couldn’t get any more majestic, you approach the stunning silhouette of Kata Tjuta. Here, we set off on a hike through the Valley of the Winds or Walpa Gorge, marvelling at the mighty conglomerate rock formations. After exploring Kata Tjuta, we walk towards the Kings Canyon region just in time to experience a glorious outback sunset followed by a hearty meal at the campfire.
Hike Distance: 2-6 km / 2-4 hours (*weather dependent).
Your accommodation: Kings Creek Station
Set against the stunning George Gill Ranges, our Bush Tents offer a simple, authentic outback stay. These twin-share tents include air conditioning, lighting, power, and linen, with access to shared bathrooms, a camp kitchen, fire pit, picnic area, and swimming pool. The kitchen is equipped with tea and coffee facilities, a microwave, fridge, and gas BBQ—perfect for self-catering. Prefer a cooked meal? Order from our menu or pick up BBQ packs, wine, and beer from the shop. Don’t forget to check last meal order times!
Day 3 - Kings Canyon to Alice Springs
We head off early to explore the mighty Kings Canyon (Watarrka), venturing into the ancient landscape and sacred grounds of the Ulpanyali and Lilla people. Arriving at the jewel in the crown at the centre of Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon), we find ourselves surrounded by towering 100-meter cliff faces, spectacular views of sandstone chasms, and jaw-dropping backdrops that will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Grab your water, hat, and sturdy shoes as we set off on foot to explore (the most seasonally applicable part of) the canyon in more detail. After a well-earned rest, you can now enjoy some downtime as the bus meanders its way to your final destination. This evening, we conclude your exploration of Central Australia in Alice Springs at approximately 17:30 pm.
Hike Distance: 2-4 km / 2-4 hours
