Swag tours offer a raw, traditional Outback experience where you sleep directly under the stars in a canvas swag. Safari tent tours provide permanent tents with beds, extra comfort and more shelter. Both include campfires, great food and small-group adventure.
Choose Yulara if you want a shorter tour focused on Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Choose Alice Springs for classic multi-day Outback loops that include Kings Canyon, longer drives and more cultural storytelling along the way. Both options are available for pick-up and return.
The big three are Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon. Most multi-day Red Centre tours include sunrise at Uluru, a sunset viewing, the Valley of the Winds at Kata Tjuta and the Rim Walk at Kings Canyon.
Yes. Most tours include both experiences because the colours change dramatically throughout the day. Sunrise lights the rock from behind, while sunset makes it glow deep red and purple.
Kings Canyon’s Rim Walk requires moderate fitness with a steep first ascent (the “heart attack hill”) but rewards you with views that are completely worth it. Kata Tjuta’s Valley of the Winds ranges from moderate to challenging depending on the route.
Yes, but the best time is May to September when temperatures are cooler. Summer can reach 40°C+ and may cause itinerary adjustments due to heat.
Sturdy shoes, a hat, sunscreen, warm layers for cold nights, refillable water bottle, snacks and a small daypack. Swags or tent bedding are usually provided.
