We were staying at Ayers Rock resort and did Kata Tjuta sunrise and Uluru sunset on the same day. Jamie was an excellent and well-informed host for both tours and was well assisted by Marie for the latter. We had nice buffet breakfasts and tea and simply stunning views (blessed by good weather). Uluru is simply unique and close up... More

Well, honestly?? It was actually kind of disappointing. I made the trip with two German backpackers and I had every intention of climbing 'The Rock', as did they. Now, I am not going to get into a debate over the whole ''Should I climb the rock or not'' issue. It was my decision to climb it and I cannot say... More

Missed the climb when I was 5 and missed again 38 years later due to wind. Amazing tho to touch her again and say hello. She has bested me yet again and the climb seems not so important anymore. The sunset was beautiful, the tour was definitely worth it and next time I will fly in on a weekend, hire... More

I loved Uluru- Kata Tjuta national park. I am an oldish Australian who has travelled fairly extensively in Australia but had never made it out to this area. What I was not expecting was the sheer beauty of the area. It may be that an appreciation of this type of landscape is an Australian thing but the colours are just... More

We went with SEIT Outback Australia- a small group trip. There were 11 of us. The guides knowledge and attention to detail was second to none. The location for the sunset visit was not amongst the dozens of coaches but on the opposite side of Uluru so you actually saw the sunset as well as the changing colours of the... More

A tour to see the sunset was an expensive way to have cocktails and canapes which were part of the tour. It was interesting to see the different colors of the rock but 90 minutes rock watching was maybe effected by passing the time away with the wine consumed - I would recommend car rental so at least you could...

Uluru is overrated. Yes it is a very unique and interesting site to visit, but was not much of a highlight of our 2 month road trip that took us to every state and territory. The park is expensive, it's very busy and the walk around the base was not that exciting. It's hot and there are tons of flys.... More

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park holds Anangu’s ancient history and culture - and travellers from all over the world have come to experience this. It is an oral culture and some information is passed on to Anangu and others when elders believe they have earned that – this can be difficult for some cultures to appreciate but it’s an important part...

It isn't until you walk around Uluru, that you truly realise the special place it holds for indigenous Australia, and for visitors. The walk around is more than enough for you to soak up this natural wonder and its stories.

All Australians should visit this place to take in the spiritualness of it. Clearly a unique place and also very interesting to read about the customs which have come from this area of Australia. We did the long wal around the rock which took about 3 hours but was well worth to see the differing sides and also the ecosystems... More

We visited Uluru and found it to be a magical place! The sunset and sunrise should definately be on your agenda, the rock changes colour and it is wonderful, but you must be there early as it passes by very quickly. The walk around the rock is amazing and there are some brilliant photo opportunities. The walk was closed the... More
