Uluru Kata Tjuta & Kings Canyon 3 Day Camping Adventure Tour

Embark on an exclusive three-day journey through Australia’s Red Center, where you will explore the breathtaking allure of Uluru, Kings Canyon, and Kata Tjuta National Park.

Day 1: Departure from Alice Springs to Uluru/Ayers Rock

Upon departure from Alice Springs or Yulara (Uluru Airport), travelers journey towards Ayers Rock, stopping first at Mount Connor for a viewing point overlooking this imposing red mountain. Following this, guests visit Curtin Springs for a brief restroom break before settling into their overnight camping location for lunch. Upon arrival at Ayers Rock Airport, participants will gather with the group, who then proceed to the Red Centre’s Aboriginal Interpretive Cultural Center. Guests boarding in Ayers Rock should note they will require lunch prior to joining the group. During the tour, attendees learn about the cultural, ecological, historical, and geological significance of the Uluru-Ayers Rock World Heritage Site.

With anticipation building, a short drive leads visitors to the base of Uluru, offering breathtaking views of its immense size and grandeur. Close encounters allow exploration of nearby attractions such as Mutitjulu Waterhole, where traditional rock art sites are discovered within family caves. Subsequently, the group travels to Kuniya Piti, where sacred stories of Kuniya and Liru are heard. Continuing on, the expedition reaches Kantju Gorge, renowned for its highest waterfall in Central Australia, which becomes particularly awe-inspiring during rain events.

After experiencing the natural wonders, the group returns to panoramic views for witnessing one of the most extraordinary sunsets on Earth. Dinner is prepared specifically for guests, ensuring a feast fit for the senses.

Day 2: Journey from Uluru/Kata Tjuta to Kata Tjuta to Kings Canyon

Starting the day early, guests embark upon a spectacular sunrise trek in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. As they approach Kata Tjuta, the landscape transforms into another breathtaking vista, leading to a hike through the Valley of the Winds or Walpa Gorge. Exploring Kata Tjuta reveals its unique rock formations, culminating in a descent to Kings Canyon.

Upon reaching the summit of Kings Canyon, located at the heart of Watarrka National Park (also known as Kings Canyon), visitors are greeted by towering 100-meter cliff faces, expansive sandstone chasms, and jaw-dropping vistas that will undoubtedly captivate them. For those seeking deeper insights, the canyon offers ample opportunities to explore the area.

Following a leisurely lunch, the group sets out on foot to fully appreciate the canyon's beauty. Upon completion of this exploration, guests can enjoy a hearty meal cooked aboard the vehicle, complete with scenic views along the way.

Day 3: Travel from Kings Canyon to Alice Springs

Early mornings provide the opportunity to explore the mighty Kings Canyon, also known as Watarrka, venturing into the ancient landscapes and spiritual grounds of the Ulpanyali and Lilla peoples. Upon reaching the focal point of Watarrka National Park—the Kings Canyon Jewel—guests find themselves immersed in the majesty of the surrounding cliffs, chasms, and panoramic vistas.

Arriving at the center of the park, the group finds itself enveloped by towering 100-meter cliff faces, vast sandstone chasms, and awe-inspiring backdrops. To delve deeper into the canyon's mysteries, sturdy footwear and water are essential as the group embarks on foot to explore the canyon further. Post-exploration, guests may take advantage of a well-deserved rest period, allowing the bus to traverse the spectacular Mereenie Loop Tourist Drive (or similar) through the West Macdonell Ranges en route to their final destination of Alice Springs.
