Highlights
  • Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park - First, get collected from your accommodation in an air-conditioned luxury coach and head into Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park. When you arrive, meet your Aboriginal Guide and interpreter from the local Mutitjulu community.

Next, get up close to Uluru with your Anangu guide who will be telling you the stories of this unique landscape and explain the connection between the art, the culture and the connection to the land. Then, head over to the Uluru Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre. Listen to how traditional hunting and gathering tools were made and what they were used for. Even join a bowl carrying or spear-throwing session to test your skills and balance!

Follow this with a hands-on painting session. Learn about the symbols and painting styles used to create beautiful works of art depicting the Creation time (Tjukurpa) stories. Bring a personal connection to the experience and paint using the knowledge you’ve gained during the morning with your guide. Take your painting home as a memento of your experience.

Finally, return back to your hotel where your tour concludes.

Inspiring and educational - This new tour was a great experience if you want to hear directly from the Anangu people about their stories, Sarah spoke her local language which was great to hear and Michelle was a lovely interpreter who works in the community business also. Very inspirational knowledge was gained from both them and our AAT guide Adam who relayed his passion to work with the Anangu people so well. The painting was fun and Sarah’s skills were amazing. Highly recommend this experience.

A scam - Booked this tour through Trip Advisor and currently trying to get our money back. Unable to contact them due to the phone number not being connected. Pick up location was vague...no professional tour operators when we arrived had heard of them. Contacted Trip Advisor for assistance and still waiting for a response from either company...100% DO NOT recommend.
