Day tours from Alice Springs can last up to 18 hours, so prepare for a very long day.
Uluru is located in an exposed area of the desert, so sunscreen, a hat, plenty of water, and comfortable shoes are a must. Prepare for high temperatures during the day and chilly weather at night.
Most tours include hotel pickup, entrance fees, and activities.
If time is of the essence, a full-day tour from Alice Springs lets you cram multiple sites into one day. Most day tours include hotel pickup, round-trip transportation, entrance fees, and meals, and feature highlights such as the Mala Walk, the Mutitjulu Waterhole, an Uluru sunset viewing, and an Aussie-style barbecue dinner in the desert. Alternatively, opt for a one-way shuttle transfer to the Ayers Rock Resort from Alice Springs, and explore the sights at your own pace.
Multi-day tours mean you’ll have plenty of time to discover the natural wonders of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and see Uluru at both sunrise and sunset. Choose an overnight tour and spend a night in the Australian outback; set out on a 3-, 4- or 5-day tour of the Red Centre highlights, including extras like King’s Canyon, the Walpa Gorge, and the West MacDonnell Ranges; or take an epic 6-day tour all the way from Alice Springs to Adelaide. Most tours include accommodation, as well as selected meals, entrance fees, and activities.
