Ayers Rock Tours, Vacation Packages & Travel Experiences

  • Ayers Rock, also know as Uluru, is a great extension for all trips to Australia
Ayers Rock

Our Uluru / Ayers Rock Vacations

Uluru / Ayers Rock is a sandstone rock formation and UNESCO World Heritage site situated 450 kilometres/280 miles south west of Alice Springs. It is 348 metres/1140 feet high but the bulk of the rock is actually underneath the ground. To give an idea of its size, the distance around the circumference is 9.4 kilometres/5.8 miles. Despite its remoteness, Uluru / Ayers Rock makes an unforgettable addition to your Australia vacation.

A sacred site for the local aboriginal people, Uluru belongs to the Anunga who have lived in and cared for the land for tens of thousands of years. The rock changes colour at different times of the day and year, glowing particularly red at dawn and sunset.

Uluru / Ayers Rock Travel Highlights

The Uluru / Ayers Rock region is famous for its natural beauty, spectacular and majestic rock formations and red plains which provide an extraordinary habitat for a variety of plants and wildlife found here. The Olgas, also known as Kata Tjuta (meaning ‘many heads’), are a similarly impressive formation located 25 kilometres/16 miles west of Uluru / Ayers Rock. These 36 domes literally spring up out of the desert, and are the eroded remains of a monolith that was once larger than Uluru / Ayers Rock.

After a decades long legal battle, climbing Uluru / Ayers Rock was finally prohibited from October 26, 2019, in recognition of its sacred significance to the Anunga. Aboriginal guides offer escorted tours around the monolith’s base, revealing its long history, both scientific and in local folklore.

At Goway we feel that all trips to Australia should include one of our Uluru/Ayers Rock tours. C’mon say G’day Downunder. Book one of our Australia vacations today and start exploring!
