Itinerary
- 1
Arrive Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
Arrive in the spiritual and geographical heart of Australia at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, home to Uluru, the deeply sacred natural landmark. Standing at 348 metres high, Uluru is considered one of the world's largest monoliths. The giant red rock plays a pivotal role in outback Australia's spellbinding natural landscape as well as the ancient culture of the Anangu people, the Traditional Owners of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Get up close to Uluru on a fascinating Kuniya walk to Muṯitjulu Waterhole. Follow your guide along the path, keeping watch for wallabies who may be grazing among the tall grass, while you make your way to one of Uluru's only permanent water sources.
On arrival, take time to sit and take in the sights and sounds of this peaceful space and watch as the rock walls of Uluru gradually change with the colours of sunset.

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
At sunrise, embark on a guided walk through Walpa Gorge, a natural creek bed that weaves between two towering, ancient domes. Follow the gently sloping trail past sheer rock walls, rare plant species and spearwood trees into what’s known as a desert refuge for lizards and lazing red kangaroos.
Return to your resort where lunch is available at your own expense. Take the chance to cool off in the pool before the opportunity to return to the national park to embark on the popular Mala walk. On this walk, explore ancient campsites, see the kitchen caves of the Mala people and admire rock art.
Tonight, perhaps treat yourself to an evening of magic under the sparkling outback sky at the optional Sounds of Silence Dinner.
Enhance Your Journey – Sounds of Silence Dinner
Experience the magic of Australia’s Red Center during an enchanting Sounds of Silence Dinner under the stars, with the sacred Uluru as your backdrop. Indulge in an award-winning, three-course bush tucker dinner while looking out onto the thousands of colored bulbs that make up the Field of Light art installation.

Travel further when you're not travelling alone
Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.
Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.
- A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
- Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
- Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.
Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
