Was such an amazing experience, food was fantastic views where breathtaking and the knowledge of the tour guides was phenomenal.
We had the best day, the scenery was breathtaking, food that was supplied was really good. Absolutely love it and highly recommend. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. The sunset viewing and dinner was insanely good with local women bringing their traditional artworks to purchase.
We had a fantastic transfer with Emu Run from Alice Springs to Uluru, and an equally fantastic tour and sunset BBQ once we were there.

What you can expect
Discover Uluru on a full day tour from Alice Springs, journeying into the red heart of the Northern Territory to explore the base of one of Australia's most iconic natural wonders. Travelling in air conditioned comfort, you will pause at the Aboriginal Cultural Centre to learn about the local Anangu people before heading to the foot of Uluru itself. Your guide leads you along the Mala Walk, where ancient rock art and Anangu stories bring the landscape to life, then on to the tranquil Mutitjulu Waterhole, home to the ancestral water snake Wanampi.
As the day winds down, settle in for one of the outback's great rituals, a sunset BBQ with a glass of bubbly in hand while Uluru glows in shifting shades of red and gold. With a packed lunch and accommodation pick up included, this is a relaxed and rewarding way to experience the magic of the Red Centre.

Overall, we absolutely loved our trip. The day tour provided just the right amount of time to immerse ourselves in the local culture and appreciate the beauty of Uluru.
Our day tour from Alice Springs to Uluru with two kids was an unforgettable experience. We were picked up at 7:10 AM and returned at 11:50 PM, making it a very long day, so I recommend ensuring your kids' devices are fully charged to keep them entertained. We grabbed breakfast to-go from our hotel, which was a smart choice as the first stop wasn't for over an hour. Also, make sure to pack some snacks and sweets for the journey back. Be aware that phone signal can be patchy, so don't rely on downloading emails or other data during the trip. The journey itself was pleasant, with plenty to see along the way and two stops for toilet breaks. The facilities were standard "outback" style, so it's a good idea to get your coffee in a takeaway cup from the hotel to avoid potential queues. Upon arrival, we were dropped off in the town near Uluru for lunch. The wait time at the restaurant for pizza was over 40 minutes, so we opted for a pie from the café, which was nice but a bit pricey at $12. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the evening BBQ at Uluru. Our guide, Yad, was exceptional, and the entire team, including the driver and BBQ staff, were excellent. The food was of great quality and there was plenty to go around. Watching the sunset over Uluru was a breathtaking experience, and we captured some amazing photos. Overall, we absolutely loved our trip. The day tour provided just the right amount of time to immerse ourselves in the local culture and appreciate the beauty of Uluru. The entire experience offered great value for money, and we were thoroughly impressed by the organisation and dedication of the team. If you're considering a trip to Uluru, I highly recommend this tour.
