The Uluru Adventure Alice Springs tour is the ultimate short escape into Australia’s iconic Red Centre, perfect for travellers who want maximum highlights without rushing the experience. Over three unforgettable days, journey deep into the Australian outback to witness sacred landscapes, ancient culture, and jaw-dropping natural wonders, all guided by experts who truly know this land.
This classic Red Centre tour takes you from Alice Springs to Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon, combining guided walks, cultural storytelling and authentic Australian outback camping. Watch Uluru glow at sunrise and sunset, explore the towering domes of Kata Tjuta, and hike through Kings Canyon’s legendary rim, where sandstone walls, lush oases and dramatic lookouts reward every step.
Nights are spent camping in permanent safari-style tents at privately owned sites, where evenings are about shared meals, star-filled skies and the kind of stories that only come from days spent exploring the Outback. With small group sizes, a relaxed pace and a mid-range comfort level, this tour suits families with older children, active travellers and anyone wanting a genuine Red Centre experience.
Start your Uluru Adventure Alice Springs tour by meeting your leader and fellow travellers at the Alice Springs pick-up point in the morning, and set off to explore the Red Centre. As you arrive, the well-known Uluru will emerge from the earth as one giant boulder. Only a short drive away, walk off your lunch at Kata Tjuta (The Olga’s). With its 36 various-sized domes, it provides quite a contrast to Uluru, a much larger one too, with the highest point almost 200 meters higher than Uluru. You’ll get to know the landscape pretty well on an afternoon hike between the massive domes.
As the evening unfolds, enjoy a light snack as the sun slowly sets, casting a variety of earthy tones across Uluru. The perfect end to a remarkable day is awaiting you back at camp, as you enjoy a delicious spread of food with your group. If the weather permits, sit outside under the stars.
