A big country in the middle of the map, and how to start planning it.

We’re an Australian-based travel business in Alice Springs, in the heart of the Red Centre. Our tour discovery and booking service is online, so travellers anywhere in Australia or overseas can compare carefully selected three-day Uluru tours from independent Australian tour operators before they set off.

Our base: Alice Springs

We’re in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, and our attention stays on three-day Uluru tours and the Red Centre adventures around them.

BEFORE YOU OPEN THE MAP

A practical checklist for the Red Centre

Count the travel time, not just the sights.
Places that look close on a screen can be a long drive apart.

Check where the tour starts.
Departure locations differ between itineraries, so match them to your travel plans.

Decide how you’d like to sleep.
Accommodation style differs between tours and affects the price.

Read the inclusions closely.
What’s included varies by operator and itinerary.

Allow for the desert.
Weather, seasons and departure schedules all affect when tours run.

What the Red Centre means for a three-day trip

The Red Centre is the vast, arid heart of Australia: red earth, spinifex, desert oaks and rock formations rising out of open scrub. For many travellers it’s the trip they’ve been planning for years. It’s also remote, and that shapes almost every decision you’ll make.

Understanding distance is one of the most important parts of planning a three-day Uluru tour. Long drives, isolated locations, different itineraries and a range of accommodation choices can make a short trip harder to organise than it first seems. A well-planned three-day tour, typically with two overnight stays where the itinerary includes them, takes care of the driving so you can spend your energy on the landscape.

Our Planning Guide: Distances & Red Centre Logistics covers this in more detail. For wider experiences in the region, see Red Centre Adventures.

A NOTE ON OUR ROLE

We help you choose. Independent operators deliver the tour.

Itineraries, availability, inclusions, departure arrangements and booking conditions can vary between operators and may change. Departures, weather and sightseeing conditions in the desert can’t be guaranteed. Read more about Our Role & Independent Operators and our Booking Terms & Conditions.
