Best of Ayers Rock: Sunset Uluru and Sunrise Kata Tjuta Small Group Tours
Ayers Rock, Australia
See Australia’s iconic natural monuments at sunrise and sunset! Watch the Australian outback desert come alive in a dramatic wash of color – see the rock domes of Kata Tjuta at sunrise and Uluru (Ayers Rock) at sunset! Enjoy an outback picnic breakfast and a sunset sparkling wine toast on these small group tours of Australia's two essential outback sights!
The 36 rock domes of Kata Tjuta and the massive, mystic red rock of Uluru (Ayers Rock) are Australia’s two best known attractions. This Best of Ayers Rock package takes you to both sights, on two separate tours, at the most awe-inspiring times of the day!
Following a late-afternoon walking tour around Ayers Rock, your guide will lead you to the best place to see Australia's iconic landmark in its most magnificent moments at sunset. Pour a glass of sparkling wine and watch the sunset at Ayers Rock. Your small group will toast this magical experience before returning to Ayers Rock Resort. (Accommodation not included)
The next day, you’ll return to the national park to see Kata Tjuta at sunrise. As dawn breaks over the horizon, Kata Tjuta’s rock domes dramatically change colors in the glow of the rising sun. After you’ve watched this astonishing, naturally occurring light show, you’ll be treated to an outback picnic breakfast. Listen for the sounds of outback creatures, as the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is a haven for Australia’s most famous fauna.
You can choose to take both tours in one day or spread them over two, and you can also schedule the tours in the opposite order, visiting Kata Tjuta first, should you choose to overnight at Ayers Rock for extra nights.
Very enjoyable tour! This is one of the most unique places on Earth so take some time to enjoy the sunset in this magical place. The food was just okay though.

The Sunset Uluru Tour with our guide Davide was excellent. Although Davide had only been working for this organization for about three months, he knew an incredible amount of details and Aborigine stories to tell us. It was a very private tour, as besides my husband and I, there was only one other lady from Adelaide. Highly enjoyable!

Excellent guided tour no stress and the chance to see a lot
Review by: Paul C, November 2017
Informative and pleasant guides, keen to impart their knowledge and happy to answer questions. The small size of the groups gave an almost personal feel to the two tours.
Review by: George D, February 2017
Really enjoyable drive/walk around the rock. Our guide, Shannon, was a wee bit heavy-handed and pedantic when answering questions - but quite knowledgeable. The light snack was bread and oil...light is right!!! But a truly beautiful experience overall.
Review by: Sharon G, February 2017
Though the sunset itself was not notable even though it yielded some good photos the setting, the guide and the light snack were very good. Gary was an excellent guide providing time for questions, informative history of the region, and an appreciation of Uluru region: a real professional. We like small groups and the van was very comfortable._br/_ In the morning the weather brought excitement and uniqueness to the tour. While walking at Kata Tjuta there was a downpour that brought waterfalls from all parts of the domes and formed streams that became rivers in moments. Some people walked to the end, a few turned back and either waded through or made their way on the uneven rocks in the stream. As our energetic, helpful guide, Francesca, said 99 of the visitors see the colors of a bright sky and dry rocks but we were lucky to experience the unusual. Before the rain we enjoyed a stop to see the rocks and a good breakfast offering opportunity to chat with others and the guide._br/_ I recommend these two tours and encourage everyone to be open to whatever nature provides.

Wally was a fantastic tour guide. His narrative about the formations, the history and the Anangu people was absolutely enthralling.
Review by: Helen M, September 2016
The small group enjoyed interesting tours by friendly and knowledgeable guides who took time to explain the local botany, history, folklore and traditions._br/_ Experienced and professional company and a wonderful experience._br/_ I highly recommend the small group tours.

Sunset.tour: Tour guide was Monica. She gave a very detailed talk before getting to Uluru about the aboriginal culture and the history of the National Park. Did 2 walks at the base of Uluru. Wear good walking shoes and bring water.Unfortunately it was cloudy at sunset so the rock did not glow. But the sparkling wine flowed and the dukkah was as good as the company.
Review by: carol.crossland, April 2016
Having very limited time we weren't sure if just an overnight stay in Ayres Rock would give us sufficient time to see both a sunset and sunrise. This tour was amazing and we are so glad we did it. The tour company couriers were knowledgeable and very efficient giving us an experience we will never forget. Shortly after our arrival in Ayers Rock we were collected by the tour bus and taken to Uluru where we were given a detailed history and then taken to a viewing platform to watch the sunset. Early the next morning we were collected and taken to Kata Tjuta where we witnessed a spectacular sunrise. We then caught our flight back to Sydney. Despite our reservations this tour really worked for us and made our whistle stop trip to Ayers Rock one we are so glad we did.

Loved both of our tours!! Our tour guide was excellent we loved everything about this tour!! We were very happy to see the sunset on Ululu and the sunrise on Kata Tjuta! Also got some amazing photos on both tours! I highly recommend!!
Review by: Nicola W, June 2015
Would highly recommend both trips. Very efficient - collected on time and all was exactly as described. Very good guides, knowledgeable and made it fun. Comfortable transport and most importantly small groups. My morning tour consisted of 5 and my afternoon of 3 including me so it was almost like a private tour. Would use this company again.

Lovely guides, very comfortable and informative tours
Review by: Judy M, July 2013
Great guides who knew their stuff but cloudy for sunrise and sunset. Most enjoyable trip
Review by: Michael C, February 2013
First rate tour. Guide Jamie was knowledgable, enthusiastic and informative. "Gourmet nibbles" were limited to bread with dukkah (nice but sparse) and the sparkling wine was "el cheapo". Otherwise terrific; tour highly recommended.
Review by: Fred W, January 2013
Great tour -- beautiful landscape and good tour package. Tour guide Alex was terrific!
Review by: bk, December 2012
Nice tour, beautiful views, and knowledgeable guides. Forget about food - bring your own. "Full breakfast" was a box of cereal, small kiddy fruit cup, juice, coffee, and toast. "Evening snacks" are bread cubes with oil and vinegar. They could do far better, or just eliminate expectations in the ad.
Review by: Jim and Janet, December 2012
Wonderful experience. Informative, helpful guide. Excellent photo ops and our guide willing to take pix for us. Sunset champagne and snacks delicious. Breakfast not so interesting. Early morning rising was well worth it!
Review by: Todd H, November 2012
A great way to see Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta. Nice mini bus...small group...no waiting for a large group to get on and off. Our guide was excellent and shared with us stories of the indigenous people and information about their culture. Very respectful of the land. One note...take bug spray!!!!
Review by: Yoonmi P, November 2012
It was the best moment in Australia. The guides are very friendly and nice. They led us beautiful places. Especially when we visited Kata Tjuta, there's nobody but us and we could see a wallaby, camel and rabbits there. It was really special experience.
Review by: birgit, October 2012
Both tour guides where great. Uluru guide was Aborigine and told us all the stories behind the sides and drawings. Sunset with Snacks and Champane was wonderful. The second guide at Kata Tjuata was more focused on the nature, eg explanation of plants. Breakfast in the Outback was great!
Review by: Weiting Y, May 2012
This is the best guided tour in Australia. The guide are very knowledgeable, kind and patient. They tried their best to meet every one's expectation. The group is small in size therefore the guide can pay attention to every one. They cook breakfast and bake bread for the tour, too.

This was without doubt the best tour we took at Uluru. The guides James, Sarah and Keily were first rate. The locations that they took us to to view the sunrise and sunset were not crowded and the guides clearly knew their subject matter and were enthusiastic about it.
Review by: yidaki_bagpiper, January 2012
Page was an exceptional guide. Same for her colleague in the morning tour. You can combine both even on your last day. Most trips return by 11 am, so you can be safe
Review by: Susan E, September 2011
Both tours were very nice. Staff on the morning tour was a bit off putting at first but warmed up over the remainder of the tours
Review by: Susan, September 2011
Both the trips were fantastic. They were very educational and interesting. The breakfast at Kata Tjuta was delicious and well presented.
Review by: Susan H, June 2011
One of the best tours out there. The guides were knowledgeable, informative and had a true understanding of the environment. Organization was excellent, food was good.
