Can I request a vegetarian meal for the tour?

Vegetarian meal options are available, but please let us know in advance as this will be subject to availability during the tour.

Where will I meet the tour guide?

You will meet the tour guide at the front of the hotel or in the hotel foyer on the first day of the tour.

How do I update my email address for receiving tour updates?

To update your email address, please reach out to us via the Ask a Question button, and we will modify it in your booking details.

Are meals included in the tour?

Meals are included only at the Sounds of Silence dinner on Day 2 and for breakfast on Day 3.

What is the cancellation policy for the tour?

If you need to cancel the tour, please contact us, and we can discuss your options based on the terms of your booking.

What are the transfer options from the airport for the tour?

Complimentary return coach transfers are provided for all guests staying at the Ayers Rock Resort arriving on scheduled flights. Bookings for this service are not required.

Is it still possible to do this tour? And when do you expect to open up bookings for May 2025?

We recommend that your flight on day 1 should arrive into Ayers Rock prior to 3.00pm and on day 5 it should depart Ayers Rock after 9.30am. Should your flights be outside of this, we cannot confirm the airport transfer service for you and thus, cannot confirm if you will start the trip on time. We will be able to look at availability of May departures approximately 8 months before departure, that is, in September of this year.

Are airport transfers included with my tour package?

Yes, both arrival and departure airport transfers are included as part of the tour package.

How can I ensure my special dietary needs are met during the tour?

Please inform us about your dietary needs, such as vegetarian options, in advance, and we will do our best to accommodate you during the tour.
