Ayers Rock Helicopter Tour to Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Lake Amadeus: 55-minute flight

Ayers Rock, Australia

Flying slow and keeping low, like a lizard, this helicopter flight from Ayers Rock offers exceptional viewing opportunities of Australia's Red Center. See the unspoiled beauty of the Northern Territory desert as you take in the vast splendor of Lake Amadeus on this extended helicopter flight. Look for camels roaming where the salt lake meets the desert sands, and then marvel at the spectacle of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas).

This 55-minute helicopter flight takes in amazing sites including Lake Amadeus, the largest salt lake in the Northern Territory and the World Heritage listed Uluru and Kata Tjuta. With pick and drop off at your Ayers Rock Resort accommodation included, this extended helicopter tour is an absolute must!

USD $360.00

OMG!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!_br/_ I had originally booked in for a longer trip, but, I was only 1 and they needed 2. Chris and Ian tried everything in their power to make it happen for me, but to no avail. So I decided on the 30 min Uluru and Kata Tjuta trip and I was not disappointed!!!!!! It was absolutely fantastic!!!!!! I was fortunate to be seated next to Ian, the Pilot, and had the most amazing view. You could see for miles and Ian filled us in with lot's of really interesting info, as we flew across the land. I can honestly say, it was the most unreal experience and well worth the money. To see Uluru and Kata Tjuta from the air, was quite different to walking around them. Highly recommend!!!!!

We had a perfect day for our helicopter tour, beautiful sunny day and very little wind. Our pilot was very professional and knowledgeable and you got a much better perspective of the area seeing it from above, especially around Kata Tjuta. Would highly recommend this tour.

A great way to see Uluru and surrounds. The helicopter ride in itself was an exciting, fun thing to do, very stable even on the windy day we travelled. The views were superb and the height allowed us to have a really amazing perspective of how huge the rocky monoliths are. A spectacular way to start your time at Ayers Rock. The only negative was that it was a little hard to hear the pilot's narrative, however, he was excellent and made us feel very welcome and safe.

My husband would give this a 5 and I would give it a 1, so we settled on a 3. The reason for the difference of opinion? Where we were seated. I was stuck...and I mean STUCK in the middle of the second row. When I looked forward, I saw a black column with a fire extinguisher on its side, completely blocking any forward vision and on either side were other passengers who, without meaning to, blocked my views with their persons and their cameras. The seat also had a metal frame over my head that forced me to slouch down (I am 5'9") in order that the headphones could be worn to hear Morgan, the pilot's, commentary. It was a miserable and uncomfortable 55 minutes That space should not be sold as a seat. Now, my husband was in the front, next to the pilot so he had a lot of space and was able to take good pictures. I saw the sights through these photos after the flight. The views I missed are amazing.

Very good photo opertunities and no better way to see the rock . It is a pitty the resort charges like a wounded bull, I will not take any more of my visitors for an overnight experience because of the excess charges. $30.90 for a T bone steak, and you have to cook it yourself, what a rip off. Yes you have full control of your resort but not full control of locals bringing their guests to the rock

Absolutely excellent. Just how you organised perfect weather and flying conditions is beyond me. A highlight of our trip. Lake Amadeus was something everyone should see.

The only way to see the massive scale of the outback , and watch the sun rise over the red centre. Wow!!

A fantastic flight and view of the area. Only two of us in a 4 seater helicopter, so it was our own private flight!

Enjoyed thoroughly, well worth the ride! Saw hundreds of wild camels and the weather and visability was perfect.

We stated I was hearing impaired at the outset. The pilot proceeded to place another person in the front seat and placed me immediately behind her. Had I been placed either beside her or diagonally opposite behind I could have lip-read. I had hearing aides in but had to switch them off because of feedback in the headsets. We did the helicpoter tour becasue that is what we do when we travel to places with exciting or different terrains. We also did the tour because our daughter and son-in-law did a 30 minute tour with your company exactly 12 months ago. They were thrilled with the proximity the the Kata Ktuta and Uluru and the detail the pilot gave them. We chose the 55 minute tour thinking it would be a much better tour than the 30 minute one. All we got was a bigger bill, less proximity to the features and a commentary which we felt was less than adequate. We are sure the dentist who sat beside the pilot had a wonderful time bacause the pilot played to his every question and response. If the microphone system worked then the pilot failed to advise how to make it work. My wife's every question was ignored. Perhaps the head sets need attention and the pilot instructing on how to commentate. We booked with you on our daughter's recommendation. After the event we were told that the tour company provides excellent service to people with disabilities. If only we had known.
