On this Outback Australian adventure, spend three days soaking up the iconic sites and natural landscapes of the Northern Territory. Starting in either Alice Springs or Yulara, you’ll watch as the sun sets over the epic monolith from a prime viewing location with your local leader and small group of fellow travellers. Then, walk around Kata Tjuta (formerly known as 'The Olgas') as mighty Mount Olga towers above your track.

End it all back at Uluru with one of the best sunrises you’ve ever seen!

Absolute banger of a time! I've always wanted to go to Australia for many years now and going with Contiki, especially with on the North Queensland to Uluru, was totally worth it! I couldn't speak for the sailing version of the trip, but the land stay in Airlie beach was really a nice bit. I would recommend going in the drier seasons because it rained and was quite windy during our stay in Queensland but nonetheless, a really exciting opportunity for everyone. If it's your first time going to Australia like it was for me, this is absolutely the trip to go, as you'll be seeing the natural highlights of the continent!
