Uluru Glow and Desert Stone

The Red Centre can be intense. Daytime temperatures may be very hot, the sun is strong year-round and evenings can get surprisingly cold. In winter, nighttime temperatures can drop below freezing, so pack both sun protection and warm layers.

Sunrise, sunset and weather conditions change through the year, so the exact order of activities may shift to give the group the best possible experience. First Nations experiences may occasionally be unavailable if guides have cultural commitments; when that happens, another activity will be arranged.

This is a short trip with early starts and a desert environment. Bring a reusable water bottle, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen and clothes that work for both heat and cool evenings.

Visa information tools can be helpful, but they may not show every full entry requirement or service fee. Travelers are responsible for checking the rules for their own passport.

Accommodation is hotel-based for two nights. The listed accommodation style is a guide and may change if preferred rooms are unavailable. If a change is needed, a similar standard will be used whenever possible.

Hotels are asked to prepare rooms ahead of the group's arrival, especially when arrival is earlier than standard check-in. Immediate check-in is not always possible, so luggage may be stored while the group waits or explores.

Joining point: Outback Hotel & Lodge, Yulara Drive, Yulara, Australia.

Flights into Yulara, Ayers Rock Airport, airport code AYQ, are met by the free resort shuttle bus, which drops travelers at their accommodation.
