Day 2. Sunrise, Kata Tjuta (Olgas), Kings Canyon

Rise early to see Uluru at sunrise. Drive out to Kata Tjuta, a magnificent cluster of 36 rocky domes that dominate the western skyline of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Join a walk into Walpa (Olga) Gorge, where some of the plants are so rare that they are only found in and around these distinct sandstone formations. This afternoon, journey to Watarrka National Park, the home of Kings Canyon. Accommodation is only available at the Kings Canyon Resort.

Day 3. Kings Canyon Walk, Alice Springs

This morning enjoy a guided walk up to the rim of awe-inspiring Kings Canyon for spectacular views of the canyon's walls.

This gentler alternative takes you deep into the canyon between the towering orange walls. This afternoon travel to Kings Creek Station.
