Things to do in Uluru - Ayers Rock Tours from Alice Springs - Camel Riding Ayers rock

Located in Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park, smack back in the dusty red centre of Australia and 460 kilometres south west of Alice Springs, Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock) is a place of rich indigenous culture and spirituality and is one of Australia's most iconic symbols.

Better experienced than described, you cannot miss seeing the sun rise and set on ‘the rock’. At different times of the day the colours shift constantly, from pink to blood red to mauve. Each time you turn around there's a different hue. The sky above reflects an unimaginable array of colours as if created from a master artist’s palette.

Walk around the base of Uluru with an Aboriginal guide and learn about their traditions. Follow in the footsteps of the ancestral beings and discover sacred sites or experience a camel ride. Uluru Camel Tours offers a range of tours on camel back in this stunning landscape. Breathe in the cool morning air and watch the desert come to life from the back of a camel as dawn breaks over Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Or you can experience sunset in the desert while riding through the sand dunes with Uluru in the background followed by a dinner of unique outback bush foods.

Multi day tours depart from Alice Springs all year or you can make your own way to Uluru by car or by plane into Connellan airport. Whichever way you decide to travel, just make sure Uluru is at the top of your Australian travel itinerary.
