This immersive itinerary offers families the chance to witness the stunning landscapes of Uluru, explore the rugged beauty of Kings Canyon, and discover the cultural significance of Kata Tjuta. The trip is designed to provide a perfect blend of adventure, natural beauty, and cultural enrichment in the heart of the Australian Outback.
Upon arrival in Alice Springs, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel. Alice Springs is the gateway to the Australian Outback, and today’s guided city tour introduces you to its unique charm. Visit the Alice Springs Desert Park to learn about local flora and fauna and the town’s significance as a hub of Aboriginal culture. You’ll also explore the Royal Flying Doctor Service Museum and School of the Air, gaining insight into the vital services that connect remote communities. In the evening, settle into your accommodation and prepare for the next day’s adventure.
After breakfast, travel through the desert landscapes to the magnificent Uluru (Ayers Rock), one of Australia’s most iconic landmarks. Along the way, stop at a camel farm and have the option to ride these fascinating animals across the red sands. Upon arrival at Uluru, check in to your hotel and take some time to relax. In the late afternoon, head to the Uluru Sunset Viewing Area where you’ll witness the magical colors of the rock changing as the sun sets. Capture stunning photographs as the landscape transforms before your eyes. End the day with a relaxing evening under the starry desert skies.
Start the day early with a visit to Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), a group of large, domed rock formations located close to Uluru. Embark on a guided walk through the Valley of the Winds, a trail that takes you deep into the formations, providing awe-inspiring views of the surrounding outback. Learn about the cultural and spiritual significance of Kata Tjuta to the local Anangu people. After your walking tour, visit the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre, where you’ll gain insight into Aboriginal culture, art, and traditions. Return to your hotel for a restful evening.
Today, embark on a full-day trip to the majestic Kings Canyon, located within Watarrka National Park. Begin your adventure with the Rim Walk, a 6-kilometer circuit that takes you along the edge of the canyon’s towering walls, offering panoramic views of the desert landscape below. Marvel at the dramatic rock formations, lush greenery of the Garden of Eden, and the hidden waterholes nestled within the canyon. If you prefer a more relaxed option, the Kings Creek Walk provides a gentle stroll along the canyon floor. After a day of exploration, return to your accommodation in Uluru for a relaxing evening.

Alternatively, you can visit local art galleries featuring Aboriginal art or take a leisurely walk along the Todd River. The day is yours to relax and soak in the Outback atmosphere before your journey comes to a close.
On your final day, enjoy a leisurely breakfast before checking out of your hotel. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have some free time to explore more of Alice Springs or shop for souvenirs.
