Sunset Uluru Experience with BBQ Dinner and Guided Mala & Mutitjulu Walks
Select participants and date
A wind-swept orange light brushes the face of Uluru as your coach eases into the car park and the rock seems to warm from within. You step out and the Outback stretches—low scrub, saltbush, and the scent of warm earth—while guides move with steady confidence, their voices rowing stories across the cooling air. The day peels from the modern comfort of an air‑conditioned coach into the quiet authority of a landmark older than memory.

Adventure Tips
Hydrate before and during the tour
Bring at least 1 liter of water and sip steadily—the desert dehydrates you faster than it feels; refill options are limited.
Wear sturdy, non‑slip shoes
Tracks around Uluru include uneven rock and sand; closed shoes with good traction will keep you comfortable on the Mala and Mutitjulu walks.
Bring layered clothing
Temperatures swing from hot afternoon to cool evening; a lightweight jacket or fleece will make sunset and post‑dinner hours pleasant.
Respect cultural guidelines
Climbing Uluru is not permitted by the Anangu; follow signage and the guides’ directions out of respect for local customs.
