What To Expect
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
The incredible aerial view of Uluru is a must-see. On this flight we also take you across to the spectacular domes of Kata Tjuta for a view that will leave you speechless. Due to the sacredness of this area so much of it is off limits from the ground, so the only way to really appreciate these amazing formations is to see them from above. You will not be disappointed.
After admiring Uluru and Kata Tjuta, fly over the Northern Territory’s largest salt lake, Lake Amadeus, and witness the amazing contrast of colours. Fully experience the Australian desert environment as you search for wild camels amongst the desert plains.

An essential part of the Uluru and Kata Tjuta experience

5.00Once in a lifetime experience. Well organised. Great commentary from our pilot, Tim. Everyone had a window seat - great for photo-taking. The scenery was breath-taking. Colours changed with the setting sun. Both Uluru and Kata Tjuta look so different when you see them from above.

The best tour to provide a full perspective of the area and how the geographical features fit together.

5.00A fabulous one hour flight around Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Lake Amadeus (at time of flight it was a rare 80% full of water thanks to recent flooding). If you are under time constraints during your stay, this tour is highly recommended as it gives a full understanding of the physical relationship between Uluru and Kata Tjuta, and even Mount Connor on the horizon. I didn't realize that Kata Tjuta consisted of a lot of rock formations and ridges extending way beyond what is normally seen at ground level. We were fortunate that the heavy rains were recent; the green ground cover stretching as far as the eye could see (at 4,000 feet altitude) was a revelation. Jack, our tour guide, driver and pilot, took excellent care of us in the smaller four seater Cessna aircraft, explaining all the safety features, protocols, able to answer a myriad number of questions on everything aviation, historical and geographical about the Red Centre - thank you! An excellent feature about this tour is the pick up and return drop off to our hotel - it certainly saves us having to make our own way to the airport to join the tour - thank you for the inclusion!
Best early morning views with Jake

5.00Wow! An amazing early morning flight on Jake’s 4 seater Cessna 172. This little plane was perfect! Sounded safe enough ;) Jake provided valuable safety information and friendly clear direction that eased any nervous feelings. The take off and landing was spectacularly smooth. We learnt that the early sunrise flights were his favourite because there’s little wind to contend with. Making it smooth for everyone. It does get warm up there when the sun comes out!! We saw a fantastic perspective of Uluru, Kata Tjuta and in the distance Attila. Then headed over to the salt lake Amadeus and got a lower view of all the camel foot prints! Jake was very informative and provided some very interesting facts about the area. We did this tour on our last full day of the trip and it was a wonderful way to bring our experience all together! Thank you Jake!
Great service, fantastic views

5.00Ryan was a fantastic guide and pilot. Our 8-year-old daughter sat in front and had a great time. Definitely recommended, though it can be a bit bumpy depending on weather.
Definitely worth the extra

5.00Picked up from the hotel, flight brief & loaded in. Need a bit of agility to get into the small plane and recommend comfortable clothes & don’t overdress if it’s a sunny day. Being a sunset tour meant the light was brilliant for photos when we got to the salt lakes as well as the rock formations. It was cloudy when we went up, but learned things can change quickly & the sun lit up the rocks at just the right times on this occasion. It was a longer flight, and a lot to see from up there. Commentary by the pilot also interesting- we had a tour guide on our flight who also answered some questions the pilot had so we got extra info which was great. After sunset we landed then they dropped us back to the hotel.
A once in a Life Time Experience!

5.00Wow, wow, wow!!!! It was an amazing way to experience Uluru, Kata-Tjuta and Lake Amadeus. Our pilot and the support crew were incredibly professional and friendly. Very responsive to any inquiry, helpful in alerting us to adjustments that were necessary on our itinerary due to maintenance issues. We had amazing weather which made it even better! Thanks for a fantastic experience.
Excelent

5.00The tour offers fantastic views and a memorable experience. We felt very safe throughout our time, and it’s definitely worth considering. The perspectives of the lake, the Olgas, and Uluru are breathtaking. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to explore the area!
Great experience but could be less expensive. Off peak !

4.00Great flight with Liam our pilot . Well informed with locality and shared his knowledge . Super views on fly over Uluru and Khata Tjuta and lake Amadeus . Did think this trip is pricey ! To go over Amadeus significantly increased$$$ This is off peak Dec and not busy ( so Viator has ‘selling fast book now’ ) not true! Need to reduce cost to give value for money… On this experience . Question why do wing struts on photos look bent on some photos ? Trick of eye? Pilot is very young but very capable and professional ( FAIR ENOUGH LIAM?) ha ha !
