The Rock the Centre tour Alice Springs is the ultimate short, sharp introduction to Australia’s Red Centre — perfect for travellers who are pushed for time but hungry for adventure.
This 3-day Alice Springs to Alice Springs tour packs Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon into one epic journey without blowing your budget.
Travel deep into the Outback by 4WD bus, sleeping in traditional swags beneath a sky full of stars. Witness the magic of Uluru at both sunset and sunrise, explore the powerful landscapes of Kata Tjuta, and tackle the iconic Kings Canyon Rim Walk, where ancient sandstone walls open up to breathtaking views and hidden oasis gardens.
This Red Centre camping tour also offers travellers flexibility. Start and finish in Alice Springs, or choose to join the tour in Yulara (Uluru) on Day 1, ideal for those flying straight into the rock. With national park entry fees included, experienced local guides, and hearty meals provided, this trip delivers serious value without cutting corners.
If you want big moments, iconic landscapes and a true Outback experience without the hefty price tag — Rock the Centre delivers.
Meet your group and guide in bright and early and hit the road for Australia’s legendary Outback. Stop at an Outback roadhouse for an optional breakfast (at your own expense), and then it’s back on the road for the drive to Yulara, stopping off along the way for views of Mt Connor and various salt lakes.
After lunch, jump back in the vehicle and travel into Uluru National Park. Grab a coffee and check out the Cultural Centre, then walk over to the main attraction – Uluru. Depending on how active you’re feeling, you can choose to do an optional ten-kilometre walk around the base of Uluru. No two angles of the sacred monolith are the same, and its sheer size will leave you gobsmacked. If you’d rather do a shorter walk, follow the ‘Mala Walk’ signs for a stroll to the Kanju Waterhole.
In the evening, watch a spectacular Uluru sunset while enjoying some tasty snacks. Once the sun has gone down, drive to tonight’s campsite for a hot shower and hearty dinner. Roll out your swag (protected bedroll) and get comfortable under the stars.
Rise early for an included breakfast and memorable Uluru sunrise. Next, head to Kata-Tjuta (The Olgas) for a guided Walpa Gorge walk. You’ll be rewarded with a spectacular perspective on mind-blowing rock formations. Return to camp for lunch.
In the afternoon, drive to a remote bush camp in Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon) and freshen up with a hot shower. Dinner will be an authentic Outback barbecue.
After breakfast, drive to Kings Canyon for a guided six-kilometre hike along the Canyon Rim. This varied landscape of chasms, canyons and cliffs is one of the most spectacular and surprising in the Outback. Enter a natural amphitheatre, discover the Lost City, cool off under the shade of the Garden of Eden’s leafy palm trees and admire panoramic views from the North and South Walls.
After lunch, make tracks back to Alice Springs with a few leg-stretches on the way, before pulling into Alice in the early evening.
