Overnight in Uluru (Ayers Rock)

Optional: Field of Light Pass (SIC)
As darkness falls and Uluru is thrown into silhouette, Field of Light illuminates. As far as the eye can see gentle rhythms of colour light up the desert. The critically acclaimed, award-winning, Field of Light Uluru by the internationally celebrated artist Bruce Munro is on display and due to popular demand, has now been extended indefinitely.

The exhibition, aptly named Tili Wiru Tjuta Nyakunytjaku or ‘looking at lots of beautiful lights’ in local Pitjantjatjara is one of Munro’s largest installations. Overwhelming in size, covering more than seven football fields, it invites immersion in its fantasy garden of 50,000 spindles of light, the stems breathing and swaying through a sympathetic desert spectrum of ochre, deep violet, blue and gentle white.

Self-guided walk through Field of Light

Includes: Coach transfer to/from the hotel of stay to Field of Light

As you travel towards Uluru (Ayers Rock), its vast shape rises from the sand dunes in the early dawn light highlighting its presence in this country.

You will visit Mutijulu Waterhole on the Kuniya Walk and learn the Creation stories of Liru (poisonous snake) and Kuniya (python). After this short walk we will drive around the base of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and hear the story of the Mala people before returning to the resort. The perfect sunrise tour for those short on time or who don’t want to walk too far.

This tour takes you to the inspiring red-hued sedimentary rock domes of Kata Tjuta to watch the sunset.

As evening approaches, each passing minute brings something new as the domes continue to change colour with the setting sun.
