From Alice Springs, venture out to some of Central Australia's most iconic sites: Kings Canyon, Uluru, and Kata Tjuta.
Kings Canyon (Watarrka)
Located about 400 kilometers southwest of Alice Springs, Kings Canyon is a marvel of natural beauty.

The canyon walls rise dramatically above the valley, offering spectacular views at sunrise and sunset.
Uluru (Ayers Rock)
Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is situated in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, about 450 kilometers southwest of Alice Springs. This iconic monolith stands over 318 meters (986 feet) high and spans 8 kilometers (5 miles) around, with 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) extending underground. Just 21 kilometers away lies the tourist town of Yulara. Uluru is famous for its changing colors, especially remarkable at sunset.
Kata Tjuta (The Olgas)
Kata Tjuta, or The Olgas, consists of 36 rounded rock formations located about 30 kilometers from Uluru within the same national park. The tallest dome, Mt. Olga, rises 457 meters high. In the local Pitjantjatjara language, Kata Tjuta means ‘many heads.’ This sacred site is central to indigenous culture and mythology, with many ceremonies still conducted here, especially at night.
