About this tour
A 4–5 hour guided tour combining two ways to experience Uluru: a walk through the sacred Mutitjulu waterhole and Aboriginal rock art, a Segway ride around roughly a quarter of the rock's base, and the Mala Walk through ancient caves. Hotel pickup and drop-off included. Suit you if you want a mix of cultural and active sightseeing, though you'll need moderate fitness and a decent sense of balance — Segway isn't for everyone.

Your guide walks you to Mutitjulu waterhole, pointing out ancient Aboriginal rock art and explaining the cultural significance of the site. Next comes Segway instruction and safety briefing on flat ground before you mount up and cruise around roughly a quarter of Uluru's base, taking in the landscape and geology from a different vantage point. The final leg is a guided walk along the Mala Walk, where you'll visit ancient caves and rock shelters. Throughout, your guide provides live commentary. The tour wraps up with a return drive to your hotel.
