I would recommend seeing as much of Uluru as you can without going through the park entry station. You can get a lot of great pictures. If you do enter the national park DONT buy anything from the cultural centre because you'll be blowing your money on cheap goods that break before you even get to use them. And then... More

It is not just a rock ... It is very beautiful, stunning. A giant red rock in the middle of a flat desert, in a perfect contrast with a blue sky... isn't this cool? Trekking around Uluru is also very nice... Amazing pictures. Don't climb it... it is disrespectful!

Truly incredible, a huge rock sticking up out of the desert, with the red of the rock contrasting with the blue of the sky. The photos we have seen don't capture its magnificence. We arrived in the afternoon, and decided that there was no point in going there just to take a few photos, so we walked all the way... More

The trip was well organised with hotel pickups and drop offs on time. The guide was interesting and took care to make us aware of aboriginal customs. Unfortunately the weather was poor so we did not see sunrise and only saw a small glow at sunset. The BBQ at the cultural centre was very good with plenty of food an... More

We were at Uluru for two nights staying at the Sails in the Desert. The rock itself was amazing. This is something every Australian must do once in their life! We saw sunset over the rock on the Sounds of Silence dining tour (highly recommend) and the following day got up early and drove to the rock in our hire... More

We were there on a 3day/2night tour with EMU Run Tour. Enjoyed a half-base walk, sunset and sunrise. The rock is nothing less than spetacular. The sunset and the surise are even more than that. Wordless. We decided not to climb it, listening to the aboriginal request. The base walk (in our case, half-base walk) was interesting enough. Beaware of... More

We stayed: Dessert Garden. All friendly staff were efficient and accomodating (Maya of Front Desk, stands out), good breakfast, great fine dinning experience at Arnguli (Micheal and Ian were superb) and quality rooms were cozy (go for Deluxe and Rock view). We travel around: with Uluru Express. (note: Its a must to rent a car before you get there as... More

At the end of March, 2013 we had a great 2 night stay at Ayres Rock. We flew to Ayres Rock from Sydney on a Friday morning and flew back Sunday afternoon. This was enough time to do the main things we wanted, but one extra day would have meant more time for hanging by the pool between activities, having... More

We have visited this NP in September 2012. When we first saw Ayers Rock we were really impressed and excited to get a closer look! Skipping the camping in first instance and getting back only in the evening was a good decission! We first visited the Olgas which we actually liked the best, due to the variation in the rock...

I came to Uluru-Kata Tjuta as part of an organised tour and I can honestly say it is the most fascinating place I've ever been to. I spent 2 nights here and feel that was enough time, especially as I got up for sunrise both mornings. The base walk was great however the temperature does vary quite a lot during... More
