Central Australia Escape

Escape to the Outback on this 7-day trip to the Northern Territory from Uluru to Alice Springs. Explore Uluru and the Field of Light. Hear Indigenous Dreamtime stories. Walk along the rim of Kings Canyon. Live Fully on a short break with APT.

Welcome to the Outback. Be met on arrival in Uluru and transfer to your hotel, Sails in the Desert. Spend the rest of the afternoon at leisure. You might like to make use of your hotel’s amenities and take a dip in the pool. Tonight, you will meet your fellow travellers during a relaxed welcome dinner.

Rise early to explore the base of Uluru before the crowds arrive. It’s cooler this time of morning, with the Outback’s scorching heat yet to settle in. As you walk around the base of Uluru with a guide, hear stories from the Dreamtime, as well as the history behind this ancient landmark. Afterwards, visit the Cultural Centre and learn about the Anangu people, the traditional landowners of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. This evening, enjoy a special Signature Experience.

Enjoy more time to explore Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Visit Kata Tjuta, also known as The Olgas, an area of over 20 square kilometres consisting of 36 domes. These domes soar up to 546 metres, forming deep valleys and steep-sided gorges. An important Anangu cultural site, Kata Tjuta translates to ‘many heads’. Later this afternoon, step aboard your 4WD and make the journey to Kings Canyon.

Journey into the heart of Watarrka National Park today, where unspoiled bush and red rock canyons create an amazing experience.

You might like to join an optional scenic flight over Kings Canyon to take in a different perspective of the towering red rock cliffs (own expense).

It’s back aboard your trusty 4WD to travel from Kings Canyon along the Mereenie Loop Road to Alice Springs.

Today, journey to Tjoritja, also known as the West MacDonnell Ranges. Once here, head to Simpsons Gap, a sacred scenic area that’s an important spiritual site to the Arrernte people. This is the site where several Dreamtime stories are said to have taken place. Among the towering cliffs rests a permanent watering hole, which makes for excellent wildlife viewing. Keep an eye out for black-footed rock-wallabies.

Continue to Angkerle and follow a creek where spring-fed pools attract a variety of unique birdlife. The chasm’s European name, Standley Chasm, is a tribute to Ida Standley, who became the first school teacher in Alice Springs in 1914. Afterwards, visit Ormiston Gorge, where you can pause and relax while taking in the unique flora in the area. The remainder of the afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure. This evening, celebrate your final night in the Outback with a special Outback Bush BBQ. Savour a three-course meal while you’re entertained with boomerang demonstrations, cattleman stories and music performances.
