Enjoy a magical morning watching the first sunlight of the day creep across the desert plains, slowly changing the colour of Uluru. Then join your guide for an 11km guided walk around the base of Uluru.
Rise early to travel to the Uluru sunrise viewing area, Talinguru Nyakunytjaku, to watch the first rays of the sun light up Uluru and the Red Centre. Here you will receive your breakfast, as well as have the opportunity to enjoy a hot drink and a biscuit.
After sunrise, accompany your guide to commence your Base Walk of Uluru. First up, walk from Kuniya Piti, an Uluru sacred site and hear the Tjukurpa (Anangu – the local Aboriginal people - beliefs and law) story of the Mala Men. Next up is the Mala Walk, one of the most important habitation areas for the local Aboriginal people over thousands of years. The Mala walk includes a visit into Kantju Gorge, where after rainfall, water can cascade over the side of Uluru and plunge some 90 metres. From here, you are then on to the base of the climb point.
After a short rest break, continue on along the Lungkata Walk where your guide will tell you the Tjukurpa story of the cheeky Blue Tongue Lizard! Next stop is the Mutitjulu Waterhole. Your guide will indicate the natural features of the landscape, Aboriginal rock paintings and relay more traditional stories relating to this special place. The waterhole was once an important water source for the Anangu people. Your last section to complete your base walk is back to Kuniya Piti where you will board your coach back into town and receive a certificate of your achievement!
Please note: This tour finishes approximately at 1300 and therefore it may not return to Ayers Rock Resort in time to meet any airport transfers and flights on this day.
Please ensure you have a minimum of 1.5 litres of water with you for your walk.
