When do we have to be in Yulara? There is a flight from melbourne which arrives at 9:30 am.

Our tour begins pickups at 1:45-2:00pm. As you arrive at 9:30am, we recommend you get the little free shuttle to Desert Gardens hotel (takes 5 mins) and wait there for us to get you.

I am traveling with three kids how would accommodation be arranged?

Our accomodation for this trip is twin permanent tents and then swag under the stars. Permanent tented camp (with shared facilities) (2 nights) Bush camp (2 nights). How old are the kids? Please be advised this is for 8 + and is a bush camp adventurous style trip.

I am interested in this tour and would like to know, at what time and where is the pickup and the end of the tour, so that I can look out for flights and hotels.

I have checked and we do have it available on the 25th of June. If your flight arrives before 1:00pm your guide will meet you at the front of the Desert Gardens hotel at 1:45pm. The Free Yulara Airport Shuttle is available from the airport to the Desert Gardens Hotel. No bookings are required, just look for the regular shuttle in front of the airport once you have collected your luggage. If your flight arrives between 1:00pm - 1:35 pm please meet your Adventure Tours Australia guide at Yulara (Ayers Rock Airport) at 14:00pm. You will end the tour on day 5 in Alice Springs at around 5-6pm.

What type of wildlife do you expect to see on this tour?

The Red Centre is such a stunning region of the country but you need to keep in mind it is the desert. Of course you have tons of kangaroos in the area, together with dingos, bats but i would say mainly rodents. If you are lucky you can also spot sand goannas (they are stunning) and of course the snakes we are so famous for around the world.

I'm currently based in Perth, and I would like to ask what the starting point of the tour is.

You can either start the tour in Ayers Rock or Alice Springs.

We're concerned about how how it gets in the vehicle.

The Outback Camping Adventure is operated in a 4X4 Truck. There are steps for you to climb in and out.

Can you go to the Field of Lights that night?
