Uluru: Small Group Sunset Tour with Sparkling Wine

About This Experience

This SEIT tour is a simple evening outing: you are collected from Ayers Rock Resort, driven into Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and given an open view of Uluru as the sun goes down in the west.

While the light changes on the rock, your guide pours sparkling wine and sets out light refreshments. The group is small, so there is room to ask questions, and the guides share stories about the culture and history of Uluru, the Anangu homeland that rises 348 m above the surrounding plain.

The trip is built around photographs and the slow color change on the rock, from orange to deep red as the sun drops. Once the light is gone you are driven back to the resort.

The national park pass is not part of the price. Adults need a pass (A$38 for 3 days, under-18s free), so buy it online before the day.

Good to Know & Caveats

• Pickup times move with the sunset through the year, so confirm yours the day before.
• You watch from a viewing area some distance from the rock, not at its base; one reviewer noted you do not get close to Uluru.
• NT rules require children aged 0-7 to travel in a car seat; choose the right seat for your child's age when booking.
• Rain, cloud or strong wind can mute or spoil the color change; one reviewer's sunset was lost to rain and strong wind.
• Evenings in winter (June to August) can be cold once the sun goes down.
