The early rise is well worth it as you experience the two major landmarks in Uluṟu–Kata Tjuṯa National Park.

Start with an amazing sunrise at Talinguṟu Nyakunytaku, the Uluṟu (Ayers Rock) sunrise viewing area.

Afterwards, on the 45 kms drive to Kata Tjuṯa (the Olgas) your Driver Guide will provide you with an historical overview of the National Park. The walk through the sheer walls of Waḻpa Gorge won’t disappoint as you’re led into a world of rare plant species and lush evergreen scrubs.
