5 Day Breakaway 4WD Uluru Tour
Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) and Watarrka (Kings Canyon)
Palm Valley and West MacDonnell Ranges
Wayoutback desert road

For the adventure traveller, the 'Breakaway' is the ultimate 4WD 5 day safari. As would be expected, we'll see Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), Watarrka (Kings Canyon), Palm Valley and the West MacDonnell Ranges.

More importantly, we'll also get to truly experience the outback in an authentic way by going 'wayoutback' through 2 Cattle Stations, using bush tracks that only we have access to use.

After experiencing the magic of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), we go on a mind blowing 4WD expedition to Watarrka (Kings Canyon) through two outback Cattle Stations, Curtin Springs and Kings Creek.

Between the two they total more than 6,300 square kilometers.

Wayoutback is the only tour company using this direct route, negotiating over 130km of bush tracks through places only a few Aboriginals, early settlers and station workers have seen.

This is a chance to really absorb the expanse and beauty of the Australian outback.

Our experienced tour guides have all the required bush skills to keep you safe and comfortable.

They are among the best in Central Australia because of their enthusiasm and ability to bring people together to have the best time.

This is backed up with extensive local knowledge of land, the Aboriginal (Anangu) people and local history.

Day 1.

After picking you up from your accommodation in Alice Springs bright and early at 5.45am, there's time for tea or coffee on top of Anzac Hill and to watch the sunrise over Alice while we finalise ticketing.

The first part of the day is spent driving to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park with a few stops along the way for refreshments, a camel ride + and a chance to purchase some Aboriginal paintings or artifacts. We break for lunch at our bush camp, situated amongst desert oak trees at the base of a large sand dune within the Resort.

The afternoon is devoted to enjoying the sights of Uluru (Ayers Rock), including a full base walk or a chance to climb if you wish. We'll also visit the Cultural Centre where you can learn about the Tjukurpa (Aboriginal law/religion).

It's now time to view the magnificent sunset on Uluru accompanied with a glass or two of sparkling wine before retiring to the campsite for a delicious meal, a couple of drinkies and time to sit back to contemplate the day's events.

Arriving in the mid afternoon there's plenty of opportunity to get a close look at Atila (Mt Connor) with a Mt Connor Sunset Tour +. Our campsite at Curtin Springs is miles from the crowds, which is where the feeling of 'Wayoutback' really starts to take hold. After a campfire dinner it's time to kick back and be mesmerised by the millions of stars on display.
