Beautiful, but very exhausting walk

Great place and interesting tour, but way too fast! Only for people in good physical condition, the guide set an incredible pace. There were several stops with interesting explanations and the possibility to take photos, but in between that was not possible if you didn't want to lose touch! Only after half the time there is a short breakfast break, with the option of using a toilet, you have to decide, for both the time is actually too short! Still a great experience!

A great experience

We were picked up on time, the voucher was practically not necessary because the guide knew exactly who had to get in. At 5.45 we started the base walk at a leisurely pace with many stops and interesting information about Uluru and the indigenous people. Breakfast break after 2 hours and then another 2 hours. We were back at the hotel around 10.30. From 9 a.m. it was very, very warm, the daily maximum temperature was 41 degrees. Overall, very impressive and interesting. Recommended at any time.
