★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 761 reviews · 1 day · from $254Our pick

Review of Emu Run’s Alice Springs to Uluru day trip, with cultural walks, sunset barbecue, sparkling wine, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Very good drivers and guides, amazing views throughout the day. If travelling alone this ended up being the same cost as hiring a car (during school holidays) just with guides, an awesome bbq (they even cooked the vegetarian option on a separate bbq plate) as a lovely bonus. Great group on the day tri p too- lots of time to chat and hear everyone’s favourite things about the NT.”

“Celia and Aravind were the perfect hosts for the Field of Lights tour. Cheerful and knowledgeable, they gave interesting and informative commentary, with occasional humour thrown in that made everyone feel special and welcomed. Arrival at the FOL viewing area was timed perfectly and allowed plenty of time to wander through the field and take in the wonder of this incredible installation. Warm drinks and bikkies at the end were really appreciated to warm up the hands and body! Finally, watching the sunrise and seeing the sunlight against Uluru was magical. This tour is the perfect way to start the day!”

The breakfast and the station was delicious and just what we needed after an early wake up. The information about the places we were visiting was fantastic and both are very knowledgeable. We decided to do the 3hour hike off the rim and boy was it worth it! Although the feedback from the base walkers was also great, so whichever you choose will be worth it for you! The toughest part of the rim walk was definitely the beginning but…”

9.Segway the FULL base of Uluru

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 449 reviews · from $171Top rated

Review of Uluru’s full-base Segway tour, with sunrise breakfast, cultural stories, practical requirements, pricing, and honest drawbacks.

“The Segway tour was really fun, and our guide, Nick, was very friendly. It was my first time riding a Segway, so I was a bit worried, but he taught us well and gave us time to practice, making it easy to learn. As we toured around Uluru, we stopped at various spots where he shared fascinating myths about the rock. Breakfast was plentiful, with coffee, tea, muffins, and cereal. We enjoyed our meal while watching the sunrise, which was absolutely stunning. If we had explored on foot, it would have been too hot. Choosing the Segway was definitely a great decision!”

“Would 100% recommend this trip to everyone! Nat was the best guide! From the start she made us feel welcome and encouraged us all to chat. She provided information on each of the sites as well as the flora and fauna. Nat kept the trip flexible so when the weather wasn’t on our side she found a way to make the trip memorable in a different way. The food was great, the sleeping locations had fab facilities and it was fun all working together. The trip itself is fantastic. Walking the three big sites, seeing sunrises & sunsets and travelling across the land were all wonderful experiences. To get the…”
