Adelaide to Uluru Adventure Tour

Adelaide → Yulara 7 days Up to 20

About this trip

Seven days from Adelaide up into the red centre, ending at Uluru. This is a proper outback trip — camping most nights, sleeping under enormous skies, and covering serious ground through some of Australia's oldest landscapes.

You start in the Ikara-Flinders Ranges, hiking through ancient gorges and past ochre cliffs, before pushing north through stark salt-flat country to Coober Pedy, where the town itself lives underground. From there it's on into the Northern Territory for Kings Canyon, Kata Tjuta, and finally Uluru.

It's a small-group, fully guided trip built around hiking and camping rather than resorts and coach windows, with a guide filling in the history and culture as you go.

What you'll do

  • Hike to Arkaroo Rock to see 5,000-year-old Aboriginal rock art
  • Trek through the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park
  • Watch sunset over Wilpena Pound with charcuterie and stargazing
  • Fossick for opals and sleep underground in Coober Pedy
  • Walk the Kings Canyon Rim Walk
  • Stand before Uluru and walk through the domes of Kata Tjuta
Good to know
  • Camping-based trip with some nights spent underground in Coober Pedy — expect a hands-on, low-frills setup rather than hotel comfort
  • Moderate pace with several serious hikes, including the full Kings Canyon Rim Walk
  • Uluru's Field of Light is offered as an optional add-on, not included as standard
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want authentic outback immersion with a standout guide and don't mind rustic camping. Think twice if you need comfort or prefer solo travel.

  • Guides are genuinely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and available night and day for questions and support.
  • Well-organised itinerary balances driving, hiking and exploring; covers everything you'd want to see at reasonable price.
  • Small group camping in the outback creates real connections with travellers from around the world.
  • Rustic camping accommodation; expect basic conditions rather than comfort or modern facilities.
