Things to do in Yulara

The Uluru stargazing tour is led by drivers and guides from atrip. A whole busload of tourists will be divided into Chinese and English tours, so you can group yourselves according to your language preference. The stargazing tour is extremely affected by weather factors, such as cloudy weather that may obscure the stars. The Chinese-speaking guide on this tour was very knowledgeable about constellations and combined astronomy with Eastern historical and cultural allusions, so I absorbed a lot of new knowledge. However, when it came to the photo session, the stars were not very prominent due to too many clouds, but I still got a very precious nighttime photo with Uluru and the sky. Finally, we used a telescope to admire Saturn and the moon. I thought it was great to be able to feel the glittering spotlights provided by nature.

I took the 15-minute tour of Uluru only. After completing the reservation, I received an email asking if it was possible to change the time in order to adjust the number of people. The hotel pick-up was easy to understand, and after arriving at the facility, I watched a safety video. The helicopter seated 6 people, and you can take a photo with the helicopter before boarding. Uluru from the sky was amazing, and it was a valuable experience. I could also see Kata Tjuta in the distance. Including the pick-up, I was able to return to the hotel in about an hour, so I recommend experiencing it on the first day after arriving at Uluru.

Everything was perfect. It had rained, so it wasn't hot. There was a cool breeze, and it smelled wonderful. We even saw frogs, which is very rare. Quite an experience!

Really enjoyed it! definitely well worth the money. Pick up and drop off was smooth. Bubbles and Nibbles were great!! Uluru was spectacular!

I heard that the Field of Light is better as a sunrise tour versus visiting at night, and while I can't directly say that it is since I didn't do the night tour, I do think the sunrise tour was the way to go. You get a good amount of time to walk around yourself (although try to be in front for the guide taking your picture so that you have more time to walk around), and then you're able to watch the sunrise with a nice view of both Ulutu and Kata Tjuta in the far background.

Our guide was excellent in both their explanations and driving. We also appreciated them taking wonderful photos for us. The tour was on time, and the walking pace was just right. Exploring Kata Tjuta was a great experience. Thank you!

Getting up close to the rock was one of the highlights of this trip! Michael, our tour guide, is the best! He shared a lot of interesting stories and facts about Uluru. The banana bread during the sunrise picnic was so good too! 👌
