Uluru (Ayers Rock) to Alice Springs One-Way Shuttle
Ayers Rock, Australia
Travel from Uluru (Ayers Rock) to Alice Springs in a deluxe coach with a professional driver who shares informative commentary about the sights you pass during the 6-hour journey. Avoid the worry and expense of flying or renting a car and leave the driving to the professionals with this one-way transfer that provides door-to-door service in a comfortable air-conditioned coach. Bonus: have the chance to spot wildlife and view more of central Australia’s magnificent landscape, including Mount Conner (Attila) and the West MacDonnell Ranges.
Your luxury coach picks you up at your Ayers Rock hotel early in the afternoon. Meet your driver and get comfortable in the air-conditioned coach, which provides spacious seats and ample luggage storage.
Travel east from Yulara via Curtin Springs, an enormous family-owned cattle station that has been in operation for more than 60 years. Look into the distance to see the bulky form of Mount Conner (Attila) as your coach continues east to Erldunda. Stretch your legs during a rest stop at Mount Ebenezer Road House. You can also browse artworks made by local artists from the Imanpa (Aboriginal) community and purchase tea or other refreshments.
Then connect to the famous Stuart Highway, the principal north-south route through central Australia, and ride along a 124-mile (200-km) section of this key road to reach Alice Springs. View the impressive West MacDonnell Ranges, another example of this area's
intriguing geological evolution. This 500-million-year-old mass of
twisted quartzite stands as one of Central Australia's most dominant
land forms, and is riddled with deep gorges and chasms.
Listen to informative and entertaining commentary provided by your driver as you travel through striking Outback landscapes. Learn about the geological history of the region, Australian desert flora and fauna, and some of the traditional customs and beliefs of the Aboriginal people who have inhabited this area for more than 20,000 years.
View groves of desert oaks, many of which are many hundreds of years old. These resilient trees survive in the harsh climate by sinking tap roots deep into the earth and remaining dormant until water is found.
You may be able to watch an onboard video about Australian wildlife. You can also keep an eye out for critters in the desert as you travel.
Please note: You may transfer coaches at the Kings Canyon junction before continuing to Alice Springs.
It went smoothly and we had an great experience with the to drivers Pete and Mark. They had so much fun and told a lot of great small story’s about the place that you haven’t heard before.

it was a good run - the toilets in the bush style stops are sometimes a bit much to take - but you get used to it. Driver was very informative and made the trip more interesting. given the very early start it was good to be able to snooze as well- coach was comfortable.

We thoroughly enjoyed the bus trip from Uluru to Alice Springs. We had the services of Dan, the driver guide. He was terrific and kept us entertained and informed throughout the trip. He had a great sense of humour and an excellent historical knowledge. We had a short break at expansve Curtin Springs and a stop at Ellgunda Station both of which gave us a good indication of the size and scope of these outback cattle stations.

This trip --a 6 hour road trip between Uluru Ayers Rock and Alice Springs was very well done and involved a transfer of buses half way through our journey part of the group went off to see Kings Canyon.
Review by: Tobias P, July 2016
More than just a shuttle service from AAT Kings! Easy and comfortable way to get from Yulara to Alice Springs._br/_ We stopped a Curtin Springs for refreshments and had a nice view over to Mount Connor, where we tasted bush tucker berries underway.
Review by: John O, July 2016
This trip was very successful for us. We were collected exactly on time, the bus was very comfortable, the driver very friendly and informative and arrived on schedule too. We were brought from door to door of our hotels on both sides. Overall a worthwhile experience and good value for what we received.

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Susan L, July 2016
This was just a bus trip. Nothing special. Seats were comfortable. Stopped twice to let us stretch our legs. Supposed to provide guided information but the speaker/guide for first half of trip was bored, terse, uninterested. She was replaced by another guide half way through he trip, and at least he knew some history about Alice Springs, and talked to the passengers knowledgeably for about 5-10 minutes total out of 5 hours. Do not consider this a guided tour or trip. It is just a comfortable bus ride that seems somewhat overpriced. Quicker to take a plane, and not much more costly.
Review by: Marianne V, April 2016
This was a very enjoyable trip. The driver was very knowledgable and we really enjoyed his commentary.
Review by: Bernd D, April 2016

Comfortable journey. Effficient and friendly drivers.
Review by: Kent E, November 2015
We appreciated the Shuttle for being on time and a very safe driver. A promt pick up at our stay in Uluru and likewise delivery at the hotel in Alice Springs. Very convenient bus.
Review by: Tien Rui L, November 2015
The drivers are friendly. The thing I love and enjoy the most along the trip is that the drivers provided good introductions to the history and environment to the surrounding scenery while driving. Maybe the distance is too far and made the trip become rusher, I feel that the time spent in Curtin Springs and Erldunda Roadhouse is a bit too short for me. Overall, I will rate this journey a 5 star rating as I am really satisfied.
Review by: Jennifer R, November 2015
The couch trip was great. The drivers were very informative of the areas we travelled through. It was great to see the Outback.
Review by: Laszlo F, October 2015
Well, it was what it was, getting from one point to the other. Bus was comfortable with quite enough stops. Hotel drop off took some time, but it was not a big issue.
Review by: Rex H, October 2015
The organisation was excellent
Review by: gchasebc, October 2015
We enjoyed this one-way shuttle very much as it was a great way to see more of the outback and we were dropped off at our resort in Alice Springs.
Review by: Bruce S, August 2015
This was an excellent way to travel. The scenery was magnificent and the bus driver Tash very entertaining. The tour buses are very well presented and comfortable.
Review by: Karyn C, August 2015
Great service. Friendly and informative driver.
Review by: 10aemiata, July 2015
Whist this was just a shuttle bus from one-place to another, the driver provided an excellent commentary of the country-side we drove through. You can fly from Uluru to Alice Springs, but I recommend the shuttle! It's a great way to see what the centre of Australia is all about.
Review by: Peter J, June 2015
We thoroughly enjoy the drive on the bus from Ayers Rick to Alice Springs, we saw a lot of the landscape slog the way and the drivers were very informative, we got to see a Black Wedged tail eagle and the nest of this bird
Review by: joanne louise s, April 2015
Unfortunately for us the bus never arrived at our hotel to pick us up. There was me and my friend and another traveller left behind so the hotel rang the driver, they were 20km away and would not return to pick us up so very upset and disappointing.
Review by: Victoria M, April 2015
We had hoped to see lots of Kangroo but no meant to be. The tour was comfortable and we saw lots more of the outback.

Comfortable coach, comfort stops, interesting commentary and really illustrates how vast this area is.
Review by: Helen F, March 2015
Great bus driver, comfortable bus, wonderful way to see the country !
Review by: Marie-Amelie G, February 2015
The AAT Kings bus ride from Uluru to Alice Springs is a long (5-6 hours) but interesting way to see the Outback. There are a couple of rest stops, but you're not forced to spend time in tourist traps. If you have a full day, you may want to consider doing the Kings Canyon day trip. You can leave from Uluru, stop at Kings Canyon, and then end the day in Alice Springs. It means leaving in the morning instead of mid-day, but you get to see Kings Canyon.
Review by: Neville T, January 2015
Excellent but too expensive. Competition needed.

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Andrea A, December 2014
Very friendly and helpful staff. Great costume service!
Review by: Andrea B, November 2014
I really wanted to do the Uluru and King's Canyon which concludes in Alice Springs but I was unable to because most of the hotels in Ayers Rock were booked for a conference. In the end I stayed at the Sails in the Desert which is the most expensive of the hotels at the Ayers Rock Resort (there is no town of Ayers Rock) and took individual tours to see Uluru and sunset and sunrise. My recommendation to anyone who has Uluru/Ayers Rock on their bucket list is to book very far in advance and be very flexible in how much you are willing to pay for this once in a lifetime experience.
Review by: s K, October 2014
No commentary from Uluru to Kings Canyon. Passenger missing was announced when tour started after Kings canyon bus transfer, but it was a mistake. the passenger was at the correct bus, but the documents that drivers had wrong. Bus transfer was really confusing.
Review by: Katherine A, October 2014
Great driver, lots of interesting little tidbits of information given throughout the trip, two stops to break up the journey, comfortable coach.
Review by: Mireille R, August 2014
Bus was comfortable, Both female drivers were very informative. Especially Kerrin, who really seemed to enjoy her job. That showed and her enthousiasm was catching. The views were great, so it was a wonderful way to experience the outback in a relaxed way.
Review by: Lena H, August 2014
Chaufförerna hos AAT Kings är oerhört kompetenta och rena rama turistguiderna. Väldigt roligt att åka med detta bolag.
Review by: David T, August 2014
The driver gave us a good insight into the people and countryside. Much better option than self drive.
Review by: Nelia E, August 2014
The commentaries were insightful about the geology of Uluru and Alice Springs and the social and cultural habits of the traditional owners. The shopkeepers are friendly, and there appear (well, according to the coach commentaries) to be colourful stories about local residents.
Review by: John W, July 2014
Stayed a short time but manged to squeeze a lot in and enjoyed everything. Driver on the shuttle from Uluru to Alice informative and the scenery was great.
Review by: Sandeep L, July 2014

Review by: Jennifer G, June 2014
The trip was relaxing and the scenery was beautiful.just the right mix of stops, and information and appreciated the limited amount of radio and not too loud when it was on. Bus driver great customer service. Very much appreciated the drop off at our hotel in Alice Springs_br/_
Thanks form John and Jenny
Review by: Fredrik T, March 2014
The bus drivers were excellent. They knew what they were talking about and they were also very friendly. The driver on the second leg of the journey (who drve the bus from where we changed about an hour from Uluru) was hilarious. I cried from laughter and really enjoyed his way of telling stories and how he could make facts interesting._br/_
Also very comfortable bus.
Review by: Sandra J, March 2014
Brillant and very informative. Highly recommended. Bus drivers act as real tour guides.
Review by: Janice S, January 2014
We had to change coaches which wasn't such a great problem but a bit irritating. The second driver was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the area. Thankyou.
