WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

When to visit

Uluru is beautiful year round, but most people choose to travel between April and October, when the days are vibrant and warm and the nights are crisp. Travel between September and November to experience the abundance of outback flora and wildflowers, or between December and March for beautiful balmy nights and sun-laden days.

When to book

It pays to book your accommodation as well as your tours well in advance, particularly if you’re planning to travel between the peak months in April to October, or during any of the school holidays. Ayers Rock Resort has many different accommodation styles at all different levels and budgets. If you want to access the best offers and choice of accommodation, it is recommended you book at least four to five months in advance.

Getting there

Virgin Australia and Jetstar operate daily direct flights to Ayers Rock Airport from Sydney; Jetstar also operates regular direct flights from Brisbane and Melbourne; Qantas offer a connecting service via Alice Springs from most capital cities.
