Uluru Base and Sunset Half-Day Trip with Optional Outback BBQ Dinner

The tour guide's knowledge and good sense of humour. The tour was done at the correct time of the day so we did not feel exhausted walking around Uluru. We would take another tour through Viator again

Was a really good trip but you could do it cheaper if you went on your own. The alcohol wasn't also served for a long time either.

We would have enjoyed the BBC dinner but this wasn't an option. It was our last tour. The tour guide very impressibve

It rain whilst at Uluru....and clouts at sunset we’re spectacular. Information given by our guide Beth was very informative.

Dylan & Kev took us on this tour, very informative with stories from the indigenous people and great to tour all around Uluru and walk to the water hole.

I wish we had more time to appreciate the structure of Uluru considering every angle is different. It felt kind of rushed. I also thought we would get to see more sides of the base. The barbecue dinner was great though!

Enjoyable in every way - guide was excellent - I would recommend anyone to go if they visit Australia

Pictures do not do this place justice, WOW it was incredible - for just a rock sticking up out of the ground, you have to see it to believe it. The tour guides were great, they were very knowledgeable about the history and the stories. If you come up to take a tour add the BBQ it was fantastic and fun, all the food and drink you could want. We sat family style which allowed up to meet some more people.

We booked this tour expecting to be able to walk around at least part of the base of Uluru and then see the sunset. Instead, the first place we were taken on the tour was the Cultural Center where we were basically told to entertain ourselves for 70 minutes. The cultural center takes 30 minutes max to get through and that assumes you read every display. There are numerous gift shops and one cafe attached to the cultural center where you are supposed to spend money because you have nothing else to do. Note that this stop was NOT mentioned in the online itinerary. After this stop we were driven to a portion of the.base that used to have a watering hole. After walking about 500 meters total, the guides told some stories about the base and what the indigenous people believe some of the markings mean. The guides told long drawn out stories, no doubt to kill time. We saw where people used to line up to climb the rock and were driven around part of the rock. Now, the indigenous people don’t even want tourists taking pictures of one side of the rock because they say it’s sacred. I can understand not wanting people to climb, but prohibiting pictures is a bit much. Finally we were taken to the sunset viewing area where the tour company provided “canapés” which were potato chips and some alcoholic beverages. Our guide David was very good, at least his stories were understandable, unlike those of his colleague. The sunset was great, but you are really better off just booking a pure sunset viewing tour and avoiding this one.

This tour is very convenient and packs a lot of sightseeing into a fairly short time. Pickups and drop-offs are at the major hotels in Ayers Rock. The sunset on Uluru is spectacular. We skipped the BBQ dinner which is optional and at an additional cost. The tour includes one fairly short hike, which is optional if you'd prefer not to walk or are disabled. You should buy and wear a fly net (approx. $10) if you visit in the warm/hot months.
