72 Hours in Uluru

72 Hours in Uluru

Ethan Moy
With an airport and resort town less than 30 minutes from the site itself, Uluru is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to visit the Australian Outback. Because of this convenience, visiting Uluru from any other Australian city is the perfect trip for a long weekend, and you won't feel like you missed anything. The guide below details exactly what I did and includes: - A day-by-day guide of what to see (and an option to see Uluru in 2 days, perfect for a Friday-Sunday trip!) - What tours I chose to go on, and why I chose not to go on others - My personal tips and mistakes to avoid!

Before You Go...

RENT A CAR (if you can!)

I'd recommend renting a car. There's a hop-on, hop-off bus (schedule below), but it only stops occasionally, and you don't want to be caught in the brutal heat waiting for the bus. Similarly, there are tours that take you into Uluru, but they're expensive (think AUD$100+) and can add up quickly. If you can drive, having a car gives you the flexibility to visit during sunrise or sunset hours when the heat isn't as bad, and you can bring as much water with you in the car, too. 

WHERE TO STAY AND EAT

There are very few options to stay and eat. You can find a list of all the accommodations below. I normally don't stay in hostels, but I chose this option at the Outback Lodge because I didn't feel that the hotels were worth the vastly more expensive price.
