Guests will connect with Aboriginal culture on an Uluru Base Walk guided tour or practice dot-painting skills with the Aboriginal Anangu artists of Maraku. They will view the world’s most spectacular vistas from a spectacular sunrise at Kata Tjuta to the Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge with its towering limestone cliffs. Clients have a last chance to save up to 15% on selected tours to Australia’s Northern Territory and 5% off its recently launched Short Break tours in the region for select departures from April 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024. The offer ends on April 15, 2024.*

On the new 4-day Kings Canyon, Uluru and Kata Tjuta Short Break tour, clients will explore Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a visit to the  Cultural Centre and travel to the base of Uluru which is considered sacred by the area’s Aboriginal Anangu people. They will meet an engaging local guide who will narrate the Aboriginal Tjukurpa (creation) stories. Guests will walk with their guide to Mutitjulu Waterhole who will share the meaning of the 40,000-year-old ancient Rock Art created by the traditional owners of the land and the beautiful spiritual sites surrounding them. Afterwards, they will make their way to the Uluru Sunset Viewing area to witness a breathtaking sunset and admire the largest sandstone monolith in the world. The adventure continues the next day by watching a sunrise at the spectacular Kata Tjuta and its 36 giant domes. They will embark with their guide to scenic valleys and canyons while learning the history, culture and geology of Australia’s Red Centre.

On the new 3-day Kings Canyon and Uluru Short Break tour, clients will journey through stunning desert scenery from Ayers Rock Resort. They will travel through Curtin Springs Station and view Atila (Mount Conner). On the way to Kings Canyon, their Drive Guide will provide insights into the history of the surrounding cattle stations. They will stay and relax at the Kings Canyon Resort before enjoying an awe-inspiring sunset. They will marvel at this incredible place with its 300-meter-high sandstone walls and majestic views which stretch across the desert. Guests will rise at dawn to make the climb to the rim of the canyon and be rewarded with panoramic views of Watarrka National Park at sunrise. With time permitting, they can go down to the oasis of the “Garden of Eden” which is a stunning watering hole surrounded by lush greenery and rare plant species.
