Things to do in Alice Springs

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.

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.

Tour guide: The trip was comfortable, but the journey was long, from 7 AM to 12 AM. It was great to gaze at Uluru, enjoy a BBQ dinner, and watch the sunset! Yad was conscientious and explained everything clearly! He had to drive, explain the scenery along the way, knew all about the local customs, could answer all questions, and also had to prepare the BBQ dinner. Amazing!!

A very unique landscape, well worth visiting. The TTA tour leader was very dedicated, introducing and guiding us through the entire 6-kilometer trail. I recommend this day trip (you need to confirm the morning departure time with the hotel yourself; the hotel staff will have information available, and we didn't encounter any issues).

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

this is a good overview half day tour to see uluru and its surroundings. guide was very informative.

Iur guides Jesse and Celia were amazing. They shared their wealth of knowledge and fielded questions with ease. Sunrise at Uluru was incredible and hot drinks and snacks certainly added to the experience. Kata Tjuṯa Walpa Gorge walk was such a contrast and the final stop gave us a panoramic view of both locations. Miney well spent.

This walking tour around Uluru Rock was truly fantastic, and I highly recommend participating. The guide was a lively and friendly woman from Germany who introduced the legends and ecology of Uluru Rock in accessible English. My native language is not English, and my English proficiency is intermediate, but I was able to understand 70-80% of what she said, which made me very happy. At the beginning of the tour, everyone receives a cute crossbody bag filled with lots of snacks, drinks, milk, etc., providing the energy you need for the walk. Being able to thoroughly and closely view the monolith was truly exhilarating. The entire route is flat, so you don't need to expend a lot of energy. I was originally worried about the physical exertion, but I'm happy to say it wasn't a problem at all. The most beautiful places to take pictures are at the entrance before entering the waterhole and, after the walk, when the guide drives everyone to the bus viewing area, which is the most beautiful place to take pictures with Uluru Rock.

Pick up was on time but it was at 4:30am so had to get up really early and the temperature in the field was 4C but felt like 1C!! The lightings are amazing and it was a huge spread of different colourful illuminations. Then came the lights of the sunrise reflected on Uluru Rock was also amazing.
