DAY 1 ALICE SPRINGS TO AYERS ROCK
We commence our voyage by heading south to the Outback Camel Farm, for an optional camel ride. Then we head to our Yulara accommodation, before meeting fellow travellers from the nearby airport. Get a feel for Uluru (the traditional owners’ name for Ayers Rock) in the afternoon, with a guided tour of the rock’s base and the ancient paintings that abound. (L, D)
DAY 2 AYERS ROCK TO KINGS CANYON
We start early today, in order to catch the sunrise at Kata Tjuta (The Olgas). This impressive collection of 36 domed rocks is a world-renowned site of natural beauty, with plenty of flora and fauna to discover. Then we’ll pay a visit to Kings Creek Station, a working cattle farm in the middle of the Red Centre, before arriving at our destination of Kings Canyon Lodge. Cool off with a swim before dinner perhaps? (B, L, D)
DAY 3 KINGS CANYON TO ALICE SPRINGS
Bring your walking shoes today. We go for a hike through Kings Canyon, visiting soaring sandstone cliffs, peaceful watering holes and lush greenery on the valley floor. It’s a true highlight of the trip, bringing the natural world to bear in all its magnificence. After lunch back at Kings Canyon Resort, we head over rolling sand dunes towards Alice Springs. (B, L)
DAY 4 ALICE SPRINGS
Get a taste of the bright morning sky with an optional hot air balloon ride today – the views are spectacular! We'll take in the MacDonnell Ranges, including the towering Simpsons Gap, and the foreboding Standley Chasm (it’s over 5 metres wide). We’ll return to Alice for lunch and then go our separate ways. (B) Please note that this trip forms part of the Rock N Top trip, days 1 - 4.
