BBQ Dinner
This full-day guided tour takes you from Alice Springs to Uluru, the great red monolith at the heart of Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park, and ends with a BBQ dinner as the rock changes colour at sunset. Emu Run's guides collect you from your Alice Springs hotel in the morning and travel by coach into the Red Centre, with a visit to the Mount Conner Lookout included in the day. At the Uluru–Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre you learn about the living culture of the Anangu people and can see traditional artwork and support local artists. Your guide also leads the Mala Walk along the base of Uluru, where rock art and Tjukurpa (Dreamtime) stories are shared, and a walk to the Mutitjulu Waterhole, a permanent sacred spring tucked into the southern face of the rock. The day closes with a relaxed BBQ dinner with sparkling wine while Uluru deepens from ochre to crimson in the fading light. This tour finishes at the Outback Pioneer Hotel at Ayers Rock Resort rather than back in Alice Springs, so it suits travellers continuing their journey from Uluru. Fruit and snacks are provided during the day, and the Uluru–Kata Tjuta National Park pass must be bought separately before the tour.
