About This Experience

The tour starts with a 6 am pickup from your Alice Springs accommodation, or a 1 pm or 2 pm pickup at Ayers Rock Airport depending on your flight. Once the group is together you take a guided walk at Uluru, then watch sunset with sparkling wine. The night is spent at camp with a hot shower, dinner and a swag under the stars.

Day 2 starts before breakfast with an early sunrise outing on the way to Kata Tjuta, followed by a hike through the Valley of the Winds and lunch. The group then drives through the outback past the George Gill Range to Kings Creek Station, where dinner is a traditional Aussie BBQ by the campfire.

On day 3 you hike the Kings Canyon Rim Walk and spend time at the Garden of Eden, then return to Kings Creek Station for lunch and downtime. In the evening you move to a private bush camp at Curtin Springs Station for sunset views of Mount Connor and a last night outdoors.

Day 4 begins with a sleep-in and a cooked breakfast, a final photo stop at Uluru, and drop-off at Ayers Rock Airport at around 10 am. Everyone helps with collecting firewood, cooking and cleaning up, and you sleep on the ground in a swag, so bring or rent a sleeping bag.

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.9/5 by 263 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

This was the most amazing trip ever! People asked me what my highlight of the tour was but I can’t even pick a highlight. I literally loved every second of it! I feel like this it the best tour to book for seeing all the amazing places in the red Centre because it is a small business and they are really making the most out of it. We were the first group almost everywhere so it was less crowded. Definitely worth the early wake up call. & this is the only tour having a remote campground in the middle of nowhere. Price-performance on its best!

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Sara was an incredible guide, full of energy, funny, inclusive and always clear about what we were doing and what was coming next. I especially loved the variety of the trip, with different types of walks and campsites each nigth. Also plenty food and the unique experience of sleeping under the stars around the fire. It was great that Sara was able to share stories about the local culture and significance of the area, and you could see the respect that both she and Mulgas have for the places they take people to. Mulgas seem like a brilliant, genuine company and I would absolutely recommend them. Be prepared to get dusty and sandy, but embrace it, it’s all part of the experience. Highly recommended! Thanks Sara!
