Measuring 3.6 by 2.4 km at the surface, the iconic Uluru rises 348 metres above the surrounding plain. Climbing the rock is possible, but culturally controversial, and some visitors may prefer to to hike the circumference (3.5 hours), take a bicycle, or enjoy shorter walks or perhaps a camel tour.
The ancient rock formations of Kata Tjuta are less internationally known than Uluru, 30km away, but are remarked upon by many visitors to be equally impressive. Kata Tjuta is sacred to the Anangu people, who have inhabited the area for more than 22,000 years.
Around 3.5 hours from Uluru, the breaktaking Kings Canyon is well worthy of the journey. Formed over millions of years, the soaring sandstone walls are the result of gradual erosion that has resulted in breathtaking, other-worldly scenery.
Enjoy a unique and traditional desert experience by experiencing Uluru and Kata Tjuta from a camel train.
The Anangu people have inhabited the lands surrounding Uluru for thousands of years. Formed over that time are beliefs and traditions that caption a deep bond with the land. A spiritual connection that can be shared with guests offering insights into the traditional skills and ancient stories of the area.
Uluru is stunning from the ground, but to capture its dramatic contrast with the expansive red plains that surround it, nothing can beat the experience from a helicopter above.
