A long day but absolutely worth it

5.00Yes, it's a long day but absolutely worth it. We left Alice Springs at 7am and arrived at Ayers Rock by 12.30pm with a couple of decent toilet breaks and a chance for a coffee etc. along the way. Look out for Mt Connor along the way. Gary our bus driver was excellent throughout. We had a 40 minute break at the resort for lunch. The walks around the base of Uluru are easy and informative about Aboriginal culture and their stories. Cultural centre was disappointing - the videos are dated and one just kept pausing. A great bbq - lots of salad, pasta, sausage and steak with drinks of all kinds. Sunset is impressive, there were lots of people (several hundred) but it didn't feel crowded. Drive home from 7pm and back to AS by midnight with breaks again. Yad the guide in and around Uluru was also very good. The bus has USB charging ports for phones - a really bonus. The only flies we encountered were at the comfort break stops. We took breakfast and lunch with us and some snacks to save queueing. Ayers Rock resort is a captive market and more expensive.

4.00Before your trip make sure that they are using the air conditioned luxury coaches. The bus we were on was old, noisy, rattly, had tight seat belts and was generally uncomfortable. Bit much to put up with for a 5 hour trip to Uluru and 5 hours back again. However, the drivers and guides were very knowledgeable and did a great job. BBQ dinner was really good and the sunset was amazing.
value for money
