Operated by AAT Kings
Desert Awakenings is designed to introduce you to the natural and cultural landscapes of this remarkable region. Under a canopy of stars, admire the tranquility of the landscape before dawn. Then watch the amazing transformation of colors and life as the desert awakens with Uluru-Kata Tjuta as the striking backdrop. Travel away from the crowds to a secluded sand dune to observe the imposing magic of the sun as it rises over Uluru-Kata Tjuta. This small group tour, of a maximum of 16 passengers, is accompanied by an expert guide.
With nibbles and a complimentary glass of wine in hand, marvel at the magic of the setting sun as its hues tinge the evening sky in multiple tones. Remember to photograph Uluru every five minutes to capture these striking colors as they change. If it rains, you may be fortunate enough to film the spectacular sight of water cascading down the walls of Uluru. Enjoy a barbecue dinner at our exclusive venue located within the Uluru National Park outside the Cultural Centre, set among red sand dunes and desert oak trees providing a peaceful, desert setting.

Sounds of Silence Operated by Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia
Operated by Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia
Complement your visit to Uluru in Red Centre country with dinner at Tali Wiru. 'Tali Wiru', meaning ‘beautiful dune’ in the local Anangu language, offers the magic of fine dining under the southern desert sky. Limited to an intimate group of 20 people, the Tali Wiru experience begins with French champagne and canapés around a fire pit, and progresses to the dune top for a table d'hôte four-course dinner, matched with premium Australian wines set to the backdrop of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta setting sun.
Sounds of Silence is a unique outback experience offering a gourmet desert barbecue under the stars. The romance of the desert, the setting of the sun behind the domes of UluruKata Tjuta and Uluru (Ayers Rock), the haunting sounds of the didgeridoo, sumptuous outback fare and the star-filled heavens are all part of this stunning experience. Shortly before sundown, guests are driven to a secluded location in the desert. As a didgeridoo player weaves his magic spells you will enjoy canapés, beverages (including beer and wine) as well as a buffet barbecue and a star talk.
