Very worthwhile experience. Excellent communication from the company. Paul, the guide, was passionate about the history and all things about the amazing destination. Highly recommend this as part of the visit to this unique place.
Easy walk, really good to get up close to the rock . Our guide Annie was lovely, I was late boarding the pick up bus as I was lost in the resort I thought I had missed my pick up but Annie phoned me and then walked around the resort until she found me. It was probably only a couple of minutes but I was extremely grateful 🥲
Really epic experience. The actual rock is much more amazing and grand than you can imagine until youre there. Its difficult to describe with words or pictures. I took a thousand pics which are beautiful but- they just dont compare to neing there looking at it with your eyes. Amazing place. Ull know what i mean when u are standing next to it. Also, i proposed to my girlfriend at the Kantju Gorge part of the tour - aaand she said Yes!! Wooooh !!
From pick up to drop off, this experience is very well thought out. Our tour guide Alex was fantastic and brought so much care and consideration on sharing the culture and connection to Uluru with a deep respect to the Anangu peoples. It is a long day of walking and it can be quite cold (in the winter months). You definitely need to pack 1-2 litres of water and make sure you have comfortable closed in walking shoes.
There are some sensitive cultural areas that aren’t allowed photogrpahy or videography, it was a shame to see some people disregarded these areas. Being there you can definitely feel a deep spiritual presence and deep respect for the traditional people and cultural stories that are deeply connected.
Nice hike first thing in the morning. I think the tour should mention that you don’t eat for the first half of the trip. I would have had something prior to the hike. A little more information would be helpful. Otherwise it was nice hike. Very quiet to enjoy the area.
We had a lovely time doing this easy hike at sunrise. Our guide Rachel was passionate and communicated well. During our walk, it was windier and colder than we expected, so it is better to come prepared with beanie, gloves, scarf, layers etc.. The breakfast is disappointing: muesli, muesli bar, cookies, peaches in high fructose corn syrup (I.e. full of sugar and no protein). Still, we were happy we signed up for this tour as we were doing it for the experience of hiking around the base of Uluru and not for the food.
Loved our walk around the base of Uluru. Alex and Jackie were awesome guides and helped us appreciate the significance of this special place. Being there at sunrise was the perfect way to start the experience, which was not too demanding. The breakfast snack was great too. Highly recommend
Andy, Jose and Alex were friendly and informative. They explained many of the cultural stories related to Uluru and we really enjoyed our tour. Their knowledge and explanations were exceptional, we highly recommend this activity.
We had a great day, despite some crazy rain. Our guide, Celia, was amazing and made it a magical morning. Highly recommend!
Be prepared to have an experience of a life time! Doing the 5hr sunrise base walk around ULURU, which did not feel like 5 hours, was just an amazing surreal experience. The size of Uluru is so deceptive from afar. It is mammoth sized!
To be up close & personal for me was quite a spiritual moment. Our tour guide LUCIA was perfectly amazing. She took us on a beautiful leisurely walk at no time rushing us, (I was always running up the rear). Lucia was very well informed relaying the stories at the points where we stopped with clarity & was very respectful to the FIRST NATION PEOPLES of the LAND regarding where photographs could not be taken or where we could not fully access due to the sacredness of a site. You could feel her love & connection to Uluru. The quiet spots, water, drawings & natural formations of ULURU are astounding as is the gorgeous red sandy earth especially against the green which we were lucky to have in abundance this year.
Do be prepared for the flies. Do not go without a head net. They also sell on site if you do not purchase one in advance. Also fluid & your own snacks if you wish although we are given a little packed lunch to walk with when we take off.
ENJOY!
Its very interesting and pleasant experience for Uluru's first time visitor. However its much overpriced. For pick up and drop off in front of hotel (15 min drive one way) + very modest 10$ breakfast + guide cost 155€/person. For a simple 12km walk arounf the rock. Even entrance fee is not included and need to be paid in addition.
The walking tour around Uluru was great. The Italian guide a very cool guy. The whole tour took around 5 hours. Highly recommend it!
Our guide Flo was excellent and informative. She led us on a sunrise walk around the base of Uluru, with plenty of time to take unforgettable photos. We received some snacks and drinks to take with us, plenty for the 3 hour walk. We also had time to visit the cultural centre.
Company communication could be better. It was difficult to reach the office by phone despite the request to reconfirm 24 hours in advance. They could do with having WhatsApp like all of the other companies I used during this trip. Even my hotel said it wasn’t easy to reach the office.
Truly amazing to see sunrise at Uluru. The base walk is a beautiful experience. Our guide Mimi was excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly, professional.
excellent walk around uluru with very good knowledge from the tour guide about the aboriginal peoples' relationship with uluru, their way of living and communicating through story telling.
We had a great time and highly recommend! Our guide was Alex. He was brilliant. He has excellent knowledge and answered any questions we had. Walking pace was good with regular stops where Alex shared interesting stories and facts. Lovely breakfast.
The tour was excellent by the tour guide Matt.
It’s a strenuous walk for about 4-5 hrs around the rock. Matt was really superb.
We loved our sunrise circuit around Uluru with our incredibly professional and friendly guide, Celia. We highly recommend seeing Uluru this way - with the insight of a guide who has been extensively trained by the Aṉangu people themselves. Logistically, the tour was well operated and everything ran smoothly from pick up to drop off. The information and stories Celia told were informative, respectful and interesting. We also loved the pace she set, which suited our group, and so had time to drop in to the cultural centre after.
For those of you who might want to know, the walk was fairly easy and mostly flat. I wore slides and was absolutely fine. A few people mentioned the breakfast being lack luster but honestly, it was perfect. It consisted of gourmet muesli with milk, a muesli bar, a juice box, a fruit cup, some bickies, a hot cuppa in a thermos, and a 700ml bottle of water - all provided in a shoulder satchel you carry yourself. We enjoyed our brekkie and didn’t have any issues carrying the bag, but others may not like the extra weight.
All in all, we loved our experience and highly recommend it. It was the most perfect introduction to Uluru on the sunrise of my 40th bday - magical. Thank you!
This walk was well worth the money to hear from a guide the history of this great creation. I would highly recommend to anyone seeing this amazing site!
Loved this! Andrea was great and kept us moving while sharing so much history. The cool temps made getting up early worth it!
This was such a great event! Started on time with pick up at the hotel and a quick drive to the base of the rock. The entire walk took just over 4 hours, and our guide took us to water falls, caves, pools. Uluru is an entire environment of its own. We also heard stories from aboriginal legends that brought the rock to life. Highly suggest. A long but easy walk, along very flat land.
This was a good tour experience, and the tour guide was very informative. The site was wet because of unusual rainfall in the area but the guide made it comfortable and easy to get around that issue.
I’ve been wanting to do this most of my adult life and finally got to do so with my dear family. What an incredible experience. We were blessed to have such an amazing and affable guide in Michael
Best experience so far in Australia! Amazing tour and guide, top quality experience! Thanks from Italy!
They make the breakfast sound like a breakfast. In Africa we hiked to a set up breakfast. In this trip we were handed a pouch full of snacks called breakfast that we carried the whole hike. They didn’t tell us that we really needed fly masks because the flies were terrible nor did they have them to give or sell to us. We did receive a large email the night before the hike that mentioned fly masks in it but that email did not arrive until the middle of the night, so we (as most of the people on out trip) did not see it. They should really be stressing this to visitors and not burying it in one email the night before.
That being said, the guide (Graham) was wonderful. His story telling and explanations were right on the money. The walk itself was great. It is not for all, as it is close to 8 miles mostly in the sun and we had one person not really physically able.
I would definitely do this but would be better prepared if my review would have been one I had previously seen.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the walk with Graham; he truly is a passionate guide, and we will be sure to pass your kind words on to him!
Regarding the breakfast, we provide an 'outback picnic' style specifically designed to provide energy for the trail while remaining safe to carry in higher temperatures. We do note on our website that this is a lightweight satchel-style meal rather than a seated setup, as our priority is keeping guests fueled and safe during the hike.
We also apologize for the delay in the fly net email.
We completely agree that fly net information should reach you well in advance. We’re sorry for the late-evening delivery of that email; we aim to provide our guests with plenty of lead time and will work on ensuring these details are received much earlier in the day moving forward.
We hope you enjoy the rest of your travels!
Simply amazing, very complete and well organised.
If you have limited time to visit the place, this is the tour you should book!
Great tour. Highly recommend. Good value for money. It was a nice tour with 8 people.
Walking around the whole of the base get to see so much.
Wonderful experience with our tour guide Lucia! We walked around the base of Uluru in a small group of six persons and our guide. She was able to tell all kind of interesting facts and stories about the local tribe and Uluru it self. She made it an entertaining and interesting experience. I can recommend this tour with her to anyone who is interested in Uluru and wants to a good walk (12km).
Excellent informative tour. Friendly small group. Michael, our tour guide was excellent and we learnt a great deal about the history of Uluru and the surrounding area.
My friends and I had a terrific time our guide Flo was very knowledgable and made this an experience I will never forget
