Walk, fly or ride around the ancient weather-worn landscape of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
Awe-inspiring, sacred site, Uluru (Ayers Rock) is the most recognised Aboriginal icon in Australia. The famous sandstone monolith stands 348 metres high and, like an iceberg, has most of its bulk below the surface. Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) sitting just 50 kilometres from Uluru - is lesser known, but an equally intriguing feature of the Park.
Both sites still play a significant role in the beliefs and lives of the Anangu people. Your clients will be treated to a rare opportunity to learn about traditions that date back thousands of years.
300 kilometres to the north east of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and 471 kilometres west of Alice Springs Watarrka National Park is best known as the home of Kings Canyon. Kings Canyon is a mighty chasm cleaving the earth to a depth of 270 metres.

- Uluru (Ayers Rock)

- Yulara Township
- Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon)
