Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) and Sounds of Silence Dinner in the Desert Small Group Tour

Spend the afternoon at Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) on a small group cultural tour, then enjoy a Sounds of Silence Dinner under the desert stars. You'll gain extraordinary insights into the region's ancient geology, unique flora and Aboriginal culture on this very special tour and have a highly personalized Outback experience.

Kata Tjuta (meaning Many Heads) is a very sacred place to the Aboriginal people. On your small group tour of the Olgas, your guide will walk you through Walpa Gorge and describe the features of this arid landscape that have given Kata Tjuta National Park World Heritage status.

You'll have the best experience possible on this small group tour, led by guides who have a special interest in the Australian desert and are committed to providing you with a memorable, enlightening experience, focusing on the area's natural and cultural heritage.

For your multi-award winning Sounds of Silence Dinner you will travel to a private formal dining setting in the middle of the desert, to dine under a million stars in the serenity of the Outback desert. As you sip champagne, the sound of the didgeridoo fills the air as the sun slowly sets over Kata Tjuta and Uluru (Ayers Rock). Your dinner in the desert is a gourmet barbecue featuring Australian delicacies.

After dinner, you'll sit back and take in the mystery of the desert at night as an astronomer takes you on a tour of the southern night skies. Sounds of Silence is the winner of the 1997 and 1998 Australian Tourism Awards for Australia's best tourism restaurant.

Note: 24-hour and 48-hour Tour passes are available, including other small group tours in the Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon region. These passes offer flexibility and great value.
