This Uluru sunset tour takes you on a discovery of the Western side of Kata Tjuta, from here you will be given the chance to view the impressive Walpa Gorge, as well as Uluru, Mount Conner and Kata Tjuta all lined up in what appears to be a perfectly straight line. The best way to explore Uluru from the air! A scenic helicopter flight to Uluru & Kata Tjuta at sunset is an absolute must-do Aussie Bucket List experience when visiting the Red Centre of the Northern Territory, Australia.
This tour will showcase Uluru & Kata Tjuta, Kata which means ‘many heads’, a sacred place relating to knowledge that is considered very powerful. It is made up of a group of 36 conglomerate rock domes the highest of which stands 198 meters taller than Uluru and dates back 500 million years.
With the vast spread of domes and restrictions due to sacred sites, access from ground based touring is restricted to over 75% of Kata Tjuta.
