What to expect
You'll depart Alice Springs in the morning, stopping at Mount Connor lookout en route. The drive takes you through outback scenery to Uluru, where you'll have time to explore sacred sites with your guide before the afternoon sunset viewing — you'll be positioned with drinks and canapés as light fades. Dinner follows at the resort.
Day two begins with breakfast, then a guided walk through Walpa Gorge in Kata Tjuta National Park. You'll return to Alice Springs in the afternoon. Walking pace is steady rather than strenuous, though the terrain is uneven in places and exposure to sun and heat is significant both days.

Good to know
This suits anyone wanting a structured, unhurried first visit to Uluru without the intensity of a full three-day itinerary. It's strong for culture-focused travellers keen on guided interpretation of Indigenous significance. Not suitable for those with poor cardiovascular fitness; moderate fitness is expected. The walks involve uneven ground and extended time in direct sun and heat — bring sunscreen, hat, plenty of water, and comfortable walking shoes. Breakfasts and lunches on day one, and lunch and dinner on day two, aren't included and must be arranged separately. Group size isn't specified. Peak times (April–September) may mean busier sunset viewings.
