We would like to book the 3 day Uluru Red Center Canyon but we need to end the tour in ayer airport. Please let me know if this is possible?

Ending in Ayers Rock is possible, we would just need confirmation of this at time of booking, so we can book in the shuttle with AAT kings. As this shuttle is ran by another company and subject to availbilty.

What time should I aim to reach at Ayers Rock Same with return what time should I plan to fly out of Ayers Rock to Sydney

If you're flying into the AYQ Airport we pick you up from the airport from 1:00 to 1:50pm depending on everyone's arrival flights. If you land before 12 we recommend catching the free airport shuttle into the resort area where you can get lunch and relax before the tour begins and we would pic you up around 1:30. The 3 Day tour would normally finish around 18:00 in Alice Springs so you would need to get a flight out the following day.

Can we be picked up at our hotel in Alice Springs after arriving from Sydney? Is the closest town Alice Springs? Or is there another closer town to stay in overnight waiting for the tour, the next day? Could we be picked up from there?

You can start the tour in either Alice Springs or Ayers Rock. They are about a 5 hour drive from each other. From Alice Springs: pick-up starts from 6:00am from hotels. From Ayers Rock / Yulara: pick-up between 13:30-13:55pm.

If I fly Brisbane to Alice Springs do I get picked up there

You may start this tour from either Alice Springs or Ayers Rock. For those departing from Alice Springs, you will need to be ready by 6:00 AM on 1st November. For those departing from Ayers Rock, you will need to be ready by 1:30 PM on the same day.

We are tourists from Norway with suitcases because we are on a longer trips than these 3 days. We don't need the suitcases during the trip but if we are travelling from Ayers Rock to Alice springs we ned our luggage when the trip is over. Will that be possible? Both if we are travelling with offroad car or bus? Are the travel and experiences the same if you travel with bus or offroad car?

If you are booking our 3 Day Tour, starting from Ayers Rock and finishing in Alice Springs, we do allow you to bring a suitcase with you (up to 23kg). You can keep this suitcase in the trailer during the days and access it in the evenings when you arrive to the campsites. You can also bring a smaller bag to keep on your lap in the bus (with essentials to use during the day). Our tours are operated in buses (depending on the departure date some departures use a 4WD vehicle) with a maximum number of 23 passengers onboard.

Is it possible to start as well from ASP and is there an availability on OCT 12th?

For this 3 day Red Centre Tour, you have the option to join the tour from Alice Springs or Ayers Rock. The tour bus will leave Alice Springs on the morning of the departure date, but can also pick up passengers from Ayers Rock that same afternoon. If arriving in Ayers Rock on the same day, your flight will need to land prior to 2 pm so we can pick you up from Ayers Rock airport.

Is it possible to book this tour with a 17 years old member of the family?

Travelling with a 17 year old is totally fine as long as there is at least one adult over 18 years old.

Can I store extra luggage while on the tour?

Yes, there are storage options available in Alice Springs for your luggage during the tour.

I would like details about your departure times from Alice Springs and / or AYQ. In other words, do I need to fly in the night before, or the morning of the tour? Will I need to stay the night in Alice or AYQ before I can get a return flight to Sydney.

If you want to start the tour in Alice Springs you will need to fly in the day before. If you want to start the tour from Ayers Rock we would pick you up from the Airport from around 1pm to 1:50pm. If you arrived before 12 we would recommend taking the free airport shuttle down to the resort area and having lunch there while you wait for a pickup. As for dropoff we never recommend flying out the day the tour finishes as it's not uncommon to get delays in the Northern Territory. The tour will naturally finish in Alice springs but we can arrange a shuttle back to Ayers rock if you prefer to fly out of there but please let us know if you want to finish in Ayers rock as early as possible because the transfer is subject to availability.

Do you provide sleeping bags for the camping portion?

Sleeping bags can be rented for a fee or you can bring your own.

What a great way to discover the Red Center! Everything was better than what I expected in this camping experience.. I won't lie to you, it's not for everyone, but if your adventurous spirit is still a bit alive somewhere inside you, this is the way to go. Our guide, Adam, went over and beyond my expectation: he knew everything, showed us all places and animals encountered; he told us many stories, legends and local folclore and believes... I am confident to say that without him, this would have been just another visited place. HE MADE THIS TRIP INTO SOMETHING UNFORGETTABLE AND MAGICAL. THANK YOU ADAM. Natacha V.Show more

The places we visited are amazing. Accommodation - basic... toilets limited and left to the elements, limited hot water, a bit of a walk from the camping grounds. It is worth getting a tent as it gets cold in the night, the sleeping bags are charged extra. The food was good and cooked by the guides. If joining the tour from Yulara, please note this is a 2 day tour - half first day, full second day, half 3 day.Show more

  Can you please let me know the following: 1. Since you advise we get a flight the following day, can you organise one additional night stay in Ayers Rock 2. Can you also explore if the shuttle is available on the day to get back to Ayers Rock
- Autopia ToursOperator•Written November 2025
  Unfortunately, we don't organise accommodation outside of the tour dates. It looks like there's currently space available on the shuttle, but we strongly recommend double-checking this before finalising any plans or bookings, as availability can always change. If the shuttle isn't available, we wouldn't be able to arrange your return to Ayers Rock. You're correct, if we book the shuttle for you, you would arrive in Ayers Rock on the evening of the 14th November. You'll then need to arrange your own accommodation and book a flight for the following day at the earliest.
