Getting a perspective on this vast landscape from the sky, INCREDIBLE. We learnt so much and spent the whole flight just amazed. You can't get a true idea of this landscape until you are looking down on it. Great value for the experience you get. Do it!

Excellent flight with attentive and informative pilot and van driver. Highly recommend. Easy booking process.

Great overview of Uluru and Olgas.

Roger_G, Mar 2025

Great way to get an overview of both Uluru and the Olgas and surrounding country Our pilot,Chris, was excellent in his knowledge of country and history.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you for your kind words Roger, it was a pleasure taking you the both of you up. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed! Regards, Chris

Flying in a single engine...

Peter_C, Jan 2025

Flying in a single engine plane provided up close views and a terrific experience. Our pilot Chris, provided a good overview and kept us engaged.

Not Happy.

Robert_C, Jul 2024

Hi, we had no problem with the trip other then the stupid idea of having the window open to take better shots , while I was videoing the Olga's my camera flew out the window, I am a older person and not used to holding things overly tight, it might be a idea to make sure that the phone case be attached to the person. Not Happy and will not refer this company to my friends . Glenda Connors

A wonderful experience!

Graeme_C, Jun 2024

Our pilot Liam was terrific - friendly, considerate, knowledgable, and good fun. A wonderful scenic flight over Kata Tjuta and Uluru at sunset; we had a fabulous time. Thank you!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you for flying with us!

Amazing intimate experience

Elizabeth_W, May 2024

Very personal intimate experience with just the pilot and my husband and I. Hotel pick up and drop off went smoothly. The flight experience was amazing.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you for flying with us Elizabeth!

Amazing flight

ahayesau, May 2024

You can’t really appreciate the scale of this region at ground level. We were very lucky to experience this trip in a 4 seater plane so it was just the pilot and the 2 of us. Hayden our pilot was very informative about the area and its culture. The scenery was beautiful.

Response from Host, May 2024

It is so very different from above! Thank you for your review.

Great views from above

Yael_S, May 2024

Stunning views. A little bit of a bumpy ride, but felt safe enough the whole time. The pilot Hayden was great.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you for flying with us! I will pass this onto Hayden.

Unforgettable Uluru

Robert_V, Feb 2024

First time in a small plane, felt relaxed after a few minutes and then enjoyed the amazing views and educational commentary from the pilot.thanks

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you for flying with us Robert! It was our pleasure.

Best way to see both areas of the park

Millicent_A, Feb 2024

Amazing way to see the national park and get so much information about the history of the area. Liam picked us up from the resort and as we were only a small group we got to sit on the same side of the plane so we both got amazing views. The plane does have front windows that open for airflow which is great when it’s super hot but you also don’t have to worry about your belongings flying out (I was initially worried about bringing my phone for photos but it was fine)

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you for flying with us!

Great hot day

Amanda_Y, Jan 2024

Eve was absolutely lovely.. despite being fly sickness as a first time. Pro tip - do not drink alcohol or coffee before scenic flight on a 40+ degree day.. dehydration really caught up on me. Despite the hiccup, the experience was amazing. Eve was very accommodating and did her best to give me the best experience. Thanks Eve and the team!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you for your review Amanda! I will pass this onto Eve.

A great view of the Olga’s and Uluṟu from the sunset plane trip

Anne_L, Oct 2023

Liam gave us a great commentary from the cockpit and was a very competent pilot . The sunset tour was worth the money we paid . Beautiful views of Uluṟu and Kata Juta .

KAREN_B, Jul 2023

Awesome experience to do while in Yulara

Leigh_G, Jun 2023

Had a wonderful experience viewing Uluṟu and Kata Tjuṯa from the air. We were up for 40 mins with excellent information given by the pilot as well.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

disappointing

Kim_Z, May 2023

Our trip was cancelled the evening before due to pilot shortage. We were offer an upgrade (via voicemail) the next day but already had other trips booked so this was impossible. We have called and email with no response from either Viator or Fly Uluru Hopefully we will be contacted shortly as we are following up on a full refund

Response from Host, May 2023

Hey Kim, Sorry for the inconvenience. We have processed your refund and contact us on 08 8956 2077 if you have any more concerns.

Esther_M, Mar 2023

Flying over Uluṟu - the colour changed 3 time in a short period - it’s a magical place for sure. Loved it so much. The pilot was amazing.

Excellent Customer Service

Charmaine_G, Mar 2023

Our flight was booked for 8.30am. Was very windy, pilot arrived to pick us up and offered to delay our flight until 12.30pm as wind was to drop and we would have a better experience. And that we did. Still some turbulence from the wind but can't stress enough how grateful and surprised at the offer to delay our flight. Would recommend this experience, it was awesome!

air ride experience

Nory_S, Jan 2023

We flew midmorning. We had done the sunset half day/barbeque the day before. It was wonderful to see Uluru and Kata above the ground a totally different perspective.

Awesome scenic flight

Roderick_J, Jan 2023

A visit to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park not complete unless you see it from the air! The aircraft was comfortable with large viewing windows allowing decent photography. The flight gives all passengers equal viewing time. Recommend very highly.

Just do it!

HUGH_M, Dec 2022

Our scenic plane flight over Uluru and Kata Tjuta was exhilarating! Viewing these ancient Australian icons from the air was a real privilege. Michael, our Pilot, was outstanding. Michaels friendly disposition and extensive knowledge, of Uluru and Kata Tjuta made the flight a real treat for all of our family. The plane was very clean, very roomy and obviously well maintained. There were abundant opportunities to take clear and unobstructed photos of Uluru and Kata Tjuta. This activity is a must do! Make sure it is first on your list.

Magnificient Uluru and Kata Tjuta plane experience

Marianne_O, Nov 2022

The whole plane trip was memorable. The pilot was friendly and informative, the plane was comfortable and the view was magnificient. It was the perfect way to get an understanding of the area around Uluru and Kata Tjuta and see where we would be walking in future days. Neither of us had been in a small plane before but we felt very safe.

Worthwhile, memorable experience.

Peter_M, Oct 2022

Seeing the stunning landscape including Uluru and Kata Tjuta from the air; Tim’s (pilot) excellent & informative commentary.
