The adventure

On this Outback Australian adventure, spend three days soaking up the iconic sites and natural landscapes of the Northern Territory. Starting in either Alice Springs or Yulara, you’ll watch as the sun sets over the epic monolith from a prime viewing location with your local leader and small group of fellow travellers. Then, walk around Kata Tjuta (formerly known as 'The Olgas') as mighty Mount Olga towers above your track. Walk to the Mutitjulu Waterhole, maybe take the opportunity to spend the night at the Field of Lights experience, then look up as the brilliant night sky comes alive. End it all back at Uluru with one of the best sunrises you’ve ever seen!
