Take a 36-minute helicopter flight from Ayers Rock Resort for aerial views of Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Mount Conner, and Walpa Gorge at sunset.
Getting started
Begin at Ayers Rock Resort, where your air-conditioned bus transfer collects you for the short drive to the helipad. On arrival, you will be guided to use the steps and platforms to board the helicopter, so enclosed-toe, non-slip footwear is helpful. After a quick safety briefing, you fasten your seatbelt and prepare for takeoff into the Central Australian Desert light.
What to expect
Uluru and Kata Tjuta helicopter flight
This 36-minute helicopter flight gives you a wide perspective on Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Mount Conner, Walpa Gorge, and the Central Australian Desert, without flying directly over the tops of Uluru or Kata Tjuta. Suitable for all ages, the experience is designed for guests who can safely use the steps and platforms to enter and exit the helicopter.
Features
- Views of Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Mount Conner, and Walpa Gorge unfold beneath you, along with the Central Australian Desert and the 36 conglomerate rock domes that make Kata Tjuta a significant sacred site. The sunset timing lets you watch the changing colors across these formations from the air, which is not possible on ground-based tours.
- Throughout the 36-minute helicopter flight over Uluru and Kata Tjuta, your pilot provides informative commentary that points out key landmarks and helps you frame the landscape you are seeing from this angle.
- Air-conditioned bus transfers are included from within Ayers Rock Resort, so you do not need to arrange separate transport to the helipad before or after your flight.
- Before or after the flight, you have a photo opportunity in front of the helicopter, with the pilot able to offer tips so you can capture memorable photographs of both the aircraft and the surrounding desert.
