Discover Alice Springs with Ayers Rock | Itinerary

Commence your morning by embarking on the Full Day Shared in-conveyance (SIC) West MacDonald Ranges Tour (AATK A8 - please be prepared for some moderate walking across uneven terrain during this excursion). Our first destination is Angkerle, more commonly recognized as Standley Chasm. A leisurely stroll beckons along the stony watercourse, where a spring-fed pool teems with a splendid assortment of indigenous wildlife and avian species. Upon completing your walk, relish a respite for morning tea.

You will then proceed to Ellery Creek Big Hole, an awe-inspiring waterway that has carved its path through the rugged expanse of the ranges. Continuing your expedition, you will visit the Ochre Pits, an intriguing geological formation displaying natural ochres embedded within the cliff faces. These ochres have served as a vital source of materials for indigenous peoples for countless millennia.

Your journey takes you to Ormiston Gorge, where the imposing topography is accompanied by a virtually perpetual waterhole, drawing an assorted variety of aquatic birds and fish. At Glen Helen Gorge, you will take part in a delightful Ploughman's Lunch, savouring a repast set amidst the captivating natural surroundings.

The culminating stop on your itinerary is Simpson Gap, one of the most renowned destinations within the ranges. Traverse through the gap to uncover the hidden waterhole, while maintaining a vigilant watch for the elusive black-footed rock wallabies concealed amid the rocky crevices. Following your day of exploration, you will retire to your accommodation in Alice Springs for an overnight stay.

On the third day of your journey, it is time to bid adieu to Alice Springs. Begin your day with an early morning check-out and be ready to embark on the Half Day SIC Transfer to Ayers Rock Resort, all the while enjoying the scenic enroute Touring through the MacDonald and James Ranges. Your amiable Driver Guide will regale you with informative commentary about the landscape. You'll also make a delightful stop at a camel farm, where the opportunity to enjoy a brief camel ride awaits (at your own expense). Subsequently, there will be a chance to purchase a light lunch at Mount Ebenezer. The breathtaking Atila, also known as Mount Conner, will captivate your senses before you reach Ayers Rock Resort.

Upon arrival at Ayers Rock Resort, it will be time for check-in. In the later afternoon, you can partake in the Half Day SIC Uluru Sunset Tour (AATK # Y11 - Note that the 3-Day National Park Fee is already included in your package). Later in the evening, there will be SIC Transfers for the Field of Light Self-Guided Tour, so please ensure you have your National Park Ticket handy. Please note that infants above one year will be charged as children for this tour. You'll be spending the night at the Resort in Ayers Rock.

As the fourth day dawns, it is time to check-out from your accommodation. Early in the morning, you'll be part of the Half Day SIC Uluru Sunrise Tour. It's worth mentioning that breakfast is not included today, given the early morning departure for the tour.
