DAY 4: TUESDAY 9 AUGUST
ULUṞU AND KATA TJUṮA
After breakfast, head to the airport where your flight crew will be waiting
to whisk you to Uluru, the spiritual heart of Australia. Your pilot will do
a special scenic fly by Uluru and Kata Tjuta to give you a bird’s eye view
of these magnificent Australian icons. On arrival, transfer to Sails in the
Desert, home for the next two nights.
Enjoy a buffet lunch by the pool before an afternoon exploring Kata
Tjuta. The 36 domes of Kata Tjuta are a sight to behold. Walk through the
sheer walls of two of the largest domes that make up Walpa Gorge. This
1.3 kilometre walking trail follows the natural creek and showcases some
of the unusual rock formations. Along the way your guide will explain
the geological and cultural history of the area. In the late afternoon,
experience your first Red Centre sunset. Sip sparkling wine and enjoy
delicious canapés as the domes of Kata Tjuta change from pink to deep
red and the sun slowly sinks below the horizon. Return to the hotel and
freshen up before a two course dinner at Ilkari Restaurant.

DAY 5: WEDNESDAY 10 AUGUST
ULUṞU
An early start this morning for a breathtaking experience. Travel towards
Uluru and watch as its vast shape rises from the sand dunes in the early
dawn light, highlighting its presence in this country. From a special
location, watch the sun rise over this amazing monolith. See first rays of
light set the Red Centre alight and the rock formations change colour
before your eyes while enjoying an outback picnic breakfast. Visit
Mutitjulu Waterhole on the Kuniya walk and learn the Creation stories
of Liru, the venomous snake, and Kuniya, the woma python. After this
short walk, drive around the base of Uluru and hear the story of the Mala
people before returning to the resort for a two course lunch.
Late afternoon you’ll be transferred to a remote desert location with
majestic views of Uluru. As the sun sets on the horizon, enjoy gourmet
canapés and chilled sparkling wine, and soak up the ambience of your last
evening in the Red Centre. As darkness falls, watch in awe from the top
of your private dune as the coloured lights of 50,000 glass spheres gently
come to life. Join your travelling companions for an exceptional three
course menu infused with bush tucker flavours. As the night ignites with
countless stars, settle back and listen to the resident star talker decode
the southern night sky.
After dinner, immerse yourself in the stunning art installation, Field of
Light. Its pathways lit by a spectrum of glowing ochre, deep violet, blue
and gentle white lights beckon you to explore at your own pace.
Return to the hotel and reflect on a truly magical evening.
