Central Australia & Uluru Family Holiday

Yulara → Alice Springs 6 days Up to 16

About this trip

Six days in the Northern Territory with a small group of families, covering the Red Centre's big landmarks by foot, bike and road. A local leader stays with you throughout, and an Anangu guide brings the Uluru and Kata Tjuta sections to life with stories from Creation Time.

Beyond the two icons, you head out to the ochre ranges of Tjoritja (West MacDonnell Ranges), the gorges of Finke Gorge National Park, and an asteroid crater along the way, with wallabies and other wildlife turning up in between.

It's built for families, with children on past trips averaging around 12 years old, though the minimum age is five. Expect proper Outback distances between stops and a fair bit of walking, so it suits families comfortable with an active, moderately paced holiday.

What you'll do

  • Walk and cycle around the base of Uluru and Kata Tjuta
  • Learn about Creation Time from a local Anangu guide
  • Explore the red ranges of Tjoritja (West MacDonnell Ranges)
  • Visit Finke Gorge National Park
  • Stop at a nearby asteroid crater
  • Spot wallabies and other wildlife along the way
Good to know
  • Moderate fitness needed — plenty of walking, so bring sturdy shoes
  • Long driving days through sparse Outback country, with some early starts
  • Temperatures swing hard between very hot days and cold nights, so pack for both
