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!

Great way to get an overview of both Uluru and the Olgas and surrounding country

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 plane provided up close views and a terrific experience.
Our pilot Chris, provided a good overview and kept us engaged.
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
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!

Thank you for flying with us!
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.

Thank you for flying with us Elizabeth!
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.
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.
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.
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)

Thank you for flying with us!
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.
The pilot was awsome and was very knowledgeable on the Olga’s and Uluṟu and the surrounding area plane ride was fantastic

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 .

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.

Hi Leigh,
Thank you so much for flying with us! We are glad you had a good experience.
Awesome experience, great pilot (Alex).
Everything was fantastic, from our pickup to drop-off.
We'd highly recommend this brilliant experience.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you Sean for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that Alex provided an awesome and informative flight.
Safe Flying.
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

Hey Kim,
Sorry for the inconvenience. We have processed your refund and contact us on 08 8956 2077 if you have any more concerns.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Seeing the stunning landscape including Uluru and Kata Tjuta from the air; Tim’s (pilot) excellent & informative commentary.
Absolutely loved it! Our pilot was incredibly friendly, informative and made it a very memorable experience. Thank you
We had a great pilot. Tim was very helpful and friendly and the flight was fantastic. Got some fabulous photos out of the open window. Great suggestion by Tim.
Thanks Pilot Tim, Wonderful views around both Uluṟu and kata tjuta .Very friendly and loads of information. Cheers Sue Glenn wayne and Sharon
