Stop off at a huge cattle station and the remote, early telegraph town of Alice Springs.

Day 1. Uluru (Ayers Rock) Base Tour, Sunset

Arrive at Ayers Rock Airport before 1.00 p.m. and be transferred to your hotel. This afternoon you'll visit the Cultural Centre and Maruku Arts and Craft Cooperative. Join a guided walk to the waterhole of Mutitjulu, followed by the guided Mala Walk. Learn about the legends, geology and flora of the region and explore Kantju Gorge. Late this afternoon, stop and enjoy a glass of wine with our compliments as you watch Uluru at sunset. Admire the changing colors of Uluru as the sun sinks beneath the desert plain. Tonight perhaps enjoy the Uluru Aussie Barbecue (at own expense, payable direct). You have a choice of accommodation, select between standard, first class or deluxe accommodation categories.

Day 2. Sunrise, Kata Tjuta (Olgas), Kings Canyon

Rise early to see Uluru at sunrise. Drive out to Kata Tjuta, a magnificent cluster of 36 rocky domes that dominate the western skyline of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Join a walk into Walpa (Olga) Gorge, where some of the plants are so rare that they are only found in and around these distinct sandstone formations. This afternoon, journey to Watarrka National Park, the home of Kings Canyon. Accommodation is only available at the Kings Canyon Resort.

Day 3. Kings Canyon Walk, Alice Springs

This morning enjoy a guided walk up to the rim of awe-inspiring Kings Canyon for spectacular views of the canyon's walls. Then walk through the ancient Lost City and the lush Garden of Eden to a waterhole (requires a good degree of fitness). Another less strenuous walk along the canyon floor is also available. This gentler alternative takes you deep into the canyon between the towering orange walls. This afternoon travel to Kings Creek Station.
