Package holiday to Uluru

Uluru is Australia's spiritual heart — a 348-meter high sandstone monolith that rises from the flat, red plains of the Australian Outback and has been the most sacred piece of land for the Anangu, the traditional owners, for over 30,000 years. At sunrise and sunset, the rock changes its color in a spectacle that ranges from deep orange to bright red to mystical violet.

The Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site) encompasses not only Uluru itself but also the 36 rock domes of Kata Tjuta (the Olgas), which rise 25 kilometers to the west. The Valley of the Winds cuts through the red dome formations and offers one of the most spectacular hikes in Australia.

The Base Walk around Uluru (10.6 km, 3-4 hours) reveals the hidden details of the monolith: caves with ancient rock art of the Anangu, waterfalls after rainfalls, deep grooves, and overhanging cliffs. Certain places are sacred (Tjukurpa) and must not be photographed — respectful adherence to these requests is essential.

Since October 2019, climbing Uluru has been officially prohibited, a wish of the Anangu that was long ignored. Instead, guided cultural tours, dot-painting workshops, and the evening Field of Light installation by Bruce Munro (50,000 glowing stems in the desert) offer deeper and more respectful ways to experience this place.

The Outback experience includes camel rides at sunset, stargazing under one of the clearest night skies on Earth, and the legendary Sounds of Silence Dinner Experience: a gourmet dinner under the open starry sky while an astronomer explains the Milky Way.

Uluru particularly impresses with fascinating culture, breathtaking nature. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
