Things to do in Uluru

Rising from the desert plains of the Northern Territory, Uluru (Ayers Rock) is one of Australia’s most iconic landmarks – and it’s not just about the views. This enormous sandstone monolith holds deep spiritual significance for the indigenous Anangu people, who have called this land home for tens of thousands of years. With its colour-changing magic at sunrise and sunset, this place is pure Outback beauty. In addition to exploring Uluru itself, nearby attractions such as Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon, and Alice Springs are also on the cards. Top 3 things to do in Uluru1. Walk the base of UluruUluru alone is worth the trip to Australia's interior to see the colossal red rock formations. The 10.6km Base Walk lets you get up close to ancient rock art, sacred Indigenous sites, and hidden waterholes. We recommend a guided tour, because you’ll get to learn the real stories of the land from Anangu guides.2. Explore Kata TjutaNot far from Uluru lies another geological marvel - Kata Tjuta (The Olgas). This collection of dome-shaped rocks holds great cultural importance for the Anangu people. Hike through the Walpa Gorge or Valley of the Winds to appreciate its rugged beauty up close. And remember to take a moment to soak in the silence – it’s a sound you’ll never forget.3. Experience the Field of LightAs night falls, 50,000 solar-powered lights transform the desert into a glowing wonderland—an otherworldly art installation by Bruce Munro that’s truly unforgettable.
