5 Star Sails In The Desert Uluru

5 Star Sails in the Desert Uluru in the Red Centre of Australia a short 10-15 minute drive from Ayers Rock Airport or a 4-5 hour drive from Alice Springs.

We were there in summer ☀️ (January 2021) and had the best time with hardly any crowds. Activities were done early morning and late afternoon when temps were a comfortable 20-25 degrees. We escaped the midday heat by the pool with a 🍻or a 🍹 followed by a nana nap 😂
I highly recommend travel to the Red Centre at this time due to:
 
✅ No crowds or queues
✅ No rain, no humidity
✅ Able to make the most of resort facilities during the day
✅ Unbelieve prices #ntsummersale

Sails In The Desert

For a 5-Star Sails in the Desert experience go to Sails In the Desert Uluru Red Centre

Visiting the Red Centre is a special experience. Be sure to allow 3 or 4 nights if you can to see and do what’s on offer.

We dined under the stars with Sounds of Silence They serve an Aussie Bush Tucker-themed buffet with drinks and a star talk included. When the lights go off, you will not believe how many stars are actually there. A return coach transfer is provided from and back to your accommodation.

Bruce Munro

We took the drinks and canapes option which is an alternative to the more expensive Sounds of Silence Dinner if you’d prefer to save your dollars for another activity.

Must-do daytime activities include:

A Helicopter over Uluru and/or Kata Tjuta Uluru on its own is 15 minutes or 30 minutes to see both. Seeing them from the air gives an appreciation of their size and uniqueness from each other.

A sunrise walk of the base of Uluru (10.6km ) takes approx. 3.5 -5 hours to complete. You can do this on your own or learn all about the indigenous culture by taking a tour. AAT Kings operate in groups of 40-50. For a more personalized experience, I prefer the sister company Seit Outback Australia which operates with much smaller groups of approx.

12. A Segway Tour is another family-friendly option or there are several well-mapped sections of shorter walks. From a slight distance, it is possible to drive the entire way around the rock.

Kata Tjuta

If time permits make the 40-minute drive over to Kata Tjuta. AAT Kings and Seit Outback Australia also take groups here by coach. If you are self-drive and exploring yourself, be sure to allow time for the 7.4km Valley of the Winds walk (3-4 hours). If limited in time take the shorter Walpa Gorge (2.7km) option.

The composition of the Uluru and Kata Tjuta are completely different. Uluru is one rock made of fine red sand melted together over millions of years. Kata Tjuta is made of rocks of all sizes glued together with fine red sand. You need to see the difference with your own eyes to believe it.

Please note: All daytime activities will require 1 liter of water per person, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunscreen. Flynets are optional but in my opinion, highly recommended for comfort.

I’ve been in the travel industry for over 30 years. I record short videos of the places I stay so my clients can see what they are “really” like rather than a polished promo clip. I hope you’ve enjoyed this 5-Star Sails ins the Desert experience in The Red Centre of Australia.

What Our Clients Say

  • Fabulous Travel Agent, Always Has A Solution For Our Travels, And Now Particularly Through These COVID Times.

    Lee-Anne has been our agent now for many years. She helped us evacuate out of Buenos Aires when there was a national strike. Lee-Anne reorganized our bookings on Emirates for us to leave NZ in March 2020 just before the world locked down. She enabled us to fly into Paris (no rules broken) in September 2020 and since then as the European world has gradually reopened helped with our bookings for flights, cruises and even a private tour to Petra in late November this year. Even though we’re in France, still, Lee-Anne is also enabling us to support other small travel businesses in Australia. We wouldn’t consider using any other travel agent for our journeys. We feel that Lee-Anne understands our needs and works with us always for the best travel options.

    Anne B

  • We have had the pleasure of working with Lee-Anne planning trips and itineraries to various destinations of the past 18 years. Her knowledge has been invaluable to us. She has consistently taken care of every travel detail imaginable and is currently working on an extended European holiday for us. We have recommended Lee-Anne’s travel services to a number of family and friends who are now also her clients.

    The Francis Family

  • We’ve only recently started working with Lee-Anne for our family holidays. She made the whole process so easy. Several recommendations on how to put our holiday together were made based on her experience and we would never have thought of these on our own. The USA/Hawaii package she put together for us suited our teenage family perfectly. Lee-Anne went above and beyond to make sure everything was looked after. She will be the first call we make when we are ready to plan our next holiday.

    The Christensen Family

  • Lee-Anne Talbot is more than just a travel agent. Her knowledge and advice is invaluable, thinking of everything so you don’t have to. In times when Covid can change everything at any time. Having Lee-Anne on top of our travel plans has been invaluable. Thank you Lee-Anne, you will be my first call every time I travel.

    Mandy Giddings

  • Lee-Anne was recommended to us by our accountant after a bad experience booking online. Best decision we ever made. Lee-Anne encouraged us to do our own research online to compare with what she was able to offer us. Not only was she able to offer similar prices, hers were often better or included extras like breakfast or resort fees for the same price. The myth that online is cheaper for booking travel is completely untrue not to mention the financial risk you take with online travel companies not governed by Australian consumer protection laws. International holidays are expensive. Do yourself a favour, call Lee-Anne when you are planning your next trip. She will save you so much time and you’ll have peace of mind knowing your hard earned money is safe.

    Julie McCarthy

  • I’ve been booking group holidays for 30-75 people with Lee-Anne now for the past 8 years. We’ve been to Fiji, Perth, Hawaii, New Zealand, Thailand, Vanuatu, The Cook Islands and a cruise from Singapore. She is a trusted travel advisor, great listener and professional in everything she does. Not sure where I’d be without her assistance with my groups. Can thoroughly recommend.
