Itinerary

Transfer from your hotel to Ayers Rock airport then meet your pilot and board your fixed-wing airplane. 

Take off and fly along the northern and western faces of Uluru (Ayers Rock), then follow the northern and western faces of Kata Tjuta (the Olgas), and get a rare view of the eastern face of Kata Tjuta, which is not accessible to the public.

On the way to Lake Amadeus, pass over the remains of an ancient coral reef. At the lake, your pilot makes low passes over the water in order to show you the intricate patterns and colors on the surface of the lake. Then soar higher to take in the 112 miles (180 kilometers) of water.

Hear informative commentary about Lake Amadeus, Uluru, Kata Tjuta, and the surrounding areas throughout your flight. At the end of 60 minutes, return to the airport and transfer back to your hotel.

A once in a Life Time Experience!

Todd_M, Dec 2024
Wow, wow, wow!!!! It was an amazing way to experience Uluru, Kata-Tjuta and Lake Amadeus. Our pilot and the support crew were incredibly professional and friendly. Very responsive to any inquiry, helpful in alerting us to adjustments that were necessary on our itinerary due to maintenance issues. We had amazing weather which made it even better! Thanks for a fantastic experience.

The tour offers fantastic views and a memorable experience. We felt very safe throughout our time, and it’s definitely worth considering. The perspectives of the lake, the Olgas, and Uluru are breathtaking. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to explore the area!

Great experience but could be less expensive. Off peak !

Yvonne_K, Dec 2023
Great flight with Liam our pilot . Well informed with locality and shared his knowledge . Super views on fly over Uluru and Khata Tjuta and lake Amadeus . Did think this trip is pricey ! To go over Amadeus significantly increased$$$ This is off peak Dec and not busy ( so Viator has ‘selling fast book now’ ) not true! Need to reduce cost to give value for money… On this experience . Question why do wing struts on photos look bent on some photos ? Trick of eye? Pilot is very young but very capable and professional ( FAIR ENOUGH LIAM?) ha ha !
