Highlights
- Uluru sunrise and sunset viewings with cultural context
- Full Kings Canyon loop including Amphitheatre and Garden of Eden

- Three nights camping on red earth

What to expect
You'll depart Alice Springs and head into the Red Centre, with your first Uluru sunrise viewed from a vantage point before walking closer to the rock itself. Days involve full-day or extended hikes — Kings Canyon's loop is substantial and covers varied terrain and lookouts; Kata Tjuta requires scrambling through boulder passages and navigating gullies. Guides stop regularly to explain geological and cultural layers. Evenings are spent at camp, where dinner is prepared on-site and you sleep under canvas. A second sunset at Uluru caps the experience before the return to Alice Springs.

Good to know
This suits anyone wanting to see the Red Centre's three major landmarks in one trip without rushing, and benefits from guides' cultural knowledge rather than pure sightseeing. You need moderate fitness — Kings Canyon's loop is the most demanding day, with steep sections and uneven ground. The Outback brings heat by day and cold at night; bring layers and sun protection. Group size and exact camp standard aren't specified. All meals are included. Public transport to the start point is available, though most join from Alice Springs town.
