Optional Upgrade – Alice Springs: Ultimate Uluru Experience (Thursday Only)

Experience the breathtaking beauty and cultural significance of Central Australia on a flight that blends stunning landscapes with ancient stories. Departing from Alice Springs Airport, fly over the rugged outback, passing Pine Gap, the US-Australian Defence Space Research Facility, and sweeping desert vistas.

As the desert colours shift from ochres to vibrant reds, your journey takes you to Uluru – Kata Tjuta, a World Heritage site. Upon landing at Ayers Rock Airport, a guide will lead you on an immersive exploration of Uluru, sharing stories of the Anangu people, traditional custodians of this sacred monolith. Discover the Mutitjulu Waterhole and hear legends like that of Wanampi, the water snake.

Enjoy lunch at the Sunset Lookout, offering spectacular views of Uluru, before flying over Kata Tjuta. The 36 domes, including Mount Olga, create a striking contrast against the desert. As your aircraft circles back, take a moment to reflect on the incredible landscapes, the cultural insights, and the unforgettable memories of your journey to the heart of the Red Centre.
