Each itinerary comes with its own unique set of inclusions, meals and tours (tours are optional on the Red Earth Package). For your convenience we have created a printable document detailing the daily activities that can be found on each of the different packages.
Each itinerary can also be booked as a “No Accommodation” option, allowing you to organise your own accommodation or alternatively to make use of the camping facilities.
Please Note: For the “No Accommodation” options, breakfast is not included with the exception of the Platinum, Diamond and Silver itineraries when a breakfast backpack will be given to everyone going on the “Uluru Sunrise and Basewalk” tour on Friday 30 July.
With five different options to choose from there is a package to suit all budgets and tastes.
