Experience Overview
On this Outback Australian adventure, spend three days soaking up the iconic sites and natural landscapes of the Northern Territory. Starting in either Alice Springs or Yulara, you’ll watch as the sun sets over the epic monolith from a prime viewing location with your local leader and small group of fellow travellers. Then, walk around Kata Tjuta (formerly known as 'The Olgas') as mighty Mount Olga towers above your track. Walk to the Mutitjulu Waterhole, maybe take the opportunity to spend the night at the Field of Lights experience, then look up as the brilliant night sky comes alive. End it all back at Uluru with one of the best sunrises you’ve ever seen!
Highlights
- Watch the sun set and rise over Uluru – a massive sandstone monolith in the heart of the Northern Territory’s arid Red Centre and Australia’s most iconic site. In the evening, watch the landscape change from a prime viewing area, then at sunrise, walk around the rock’s base as it lights up.
- Take the Kata Tjuta Walpa Gorge walk with your local leader, where Kata Tjuta (Mount Olga) towers on one side above the track below.
- Walk to the Mutitjulu Waterhole and soak in the incredible Outback landscape as you learn about its importance to the Indigenous Anangu people.
- Look up – this area of Australia’s Outback is pretty incredible for stargazing! With minimal light pollution, you’ll be able to see the Milky Way in all her glory.

Welcome to Yulara! Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 4 pm at your hotel. Then, you'll head off straight away with your group, making your way to one of Australia’s most spiritually significant and iconic sites – Uluru. When you arrive, enjoy the view from a prime viewing location as the sun sets over the epic sandstone monolith. Watching the landscape shift in colour is a truly unforgettable sight. Tonight, make sure to look up, as this is one of the best spots to stargaze in the country!

This afternoon, walk to the Mutitjulu Waterhole at the base of the rock. Your leader will explain what makes this waterhole sacred and its connection to the Anangu people.

I had a wonderful experience during the culinary journey in Morroco. I experienced the beauty of Morroco and its wonderfual and hospitable people. Our guide, Tariq Hammoudi, was a great guide and provided us with valuable information and advice along the way. The countryside and desert were absolutely stunning. The desert visit was the highlight of the trip for me. I took many photos which I shared with friends and family, and all of them expressed amazement and envy that I was actually vacationing in this wonderful country.

Intrepid did such a great job. I never had to worry about where I was supposed to be and it felt so good not to worry about a thing but just to enjoy myself. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about culture and history.
