Outback Expedition

Experience the Extraordinary. Experience the journey of a lifetime combining our signature outback adventures with Australia’s most iconic natural wonder. This comprehensive 10-day/ 9-night expedition weaves together the best of our Ikara-Flinders Ranges, Oodnadatta Track, and Coober Pedy experiences, culminating at the majestic UNESCO World Heritage site of Uluru.

After experiencing the diversity of outback accommodation – from luxury glamping to underground stays – settle into the comfortable surrounds of Ayers Rock Resort. Here, witness the spiritual heart of Australia in all its glory as Uluru and Kata Tjuta display their ever-changing colors at sunrise and sunset. Connect with the ancient spirit of this sacred land as you walk around Uluru’s base, learning the creation stories that have been passed down through generations. Experience the raw beauty of Kata Tjuta with an enriching walk through the spectacular Walpa Gorge.

Your journey can conclude at either Yulara Airport near Uluru or continue to Alice Springs, depending on your travel arrangements. For those wishing to return to Adelaide, we can extend the expedition by two days for an additional cost, creating a round-trip adventure that showcases the full breadth of Australia’s remarkable outback.
