4 days in Uluru & Surrounds Itinerary

Yulara takes its name from the local Aboriginal words for "howling" and "dingoes," which conveys the town's isolated location in the Outback.

Get in touch with nature at Uluru and Uluru Audio Guide. Step off the beaten path and head to Red Desert Reptiles and Kuniya Walk. Venture out of the city with trips to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (Walpa Gorge & Kata Tjuta / Mount Olga). And it doesn't end there: get a dose of the wild on Uluru Camel Tours, stroll through Uluru Hiking Path, explore the activities along Mutitjulu Waterhole, and go for a walk through Mala Walk.
