KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK
ALICE SPRINGS CONNECTING TRANSFERS
Transfers from Uluru to Alice Springs are operated by AAT Kings and depart from the Desert Gardens Hotel on the last day of your tour (Thursday) between 12:30 pm and 1 pm from March to November. Our tour finishes in the late morning on day eight, so our Guide will ensure any passengers catching this shuttle are at the departure point with plenty of time to spare. The shuttle arrives in Alice Springs at approximately 7 pm.
Please note that this shuttle does not operate on Thursdays from December to February. During these months, passengers can opt to fly out of Ayers Rock Airport (Yulara) after lunch on the last day of the tour or stay an extra night and travel to Alice Springs the following day.
The rate is currently $199pp; however, it will increase from April 2024 to March 2025 to $225pp. You can add this to your cart when making your tour booking on our website as an optional add-on.
 
GENERAL

To get the most from this experience, you need to enjoy the outdoors, hiking, and be able to cope with extreme weather conditions.
A moderate fitness level is required, and you need to be prepared for walks between 3-12 kilometres on some days. This may involve rough ground and perhaps getting wet.
Please advise of any special dietary requirements when you book. We offer plenty of variety and do our best to provide fresh products. Snacks, soft drinks and alcohol are not included.

As part of our COVID-Safe protocols, all passengers must complete online check-in, including a 'Fit for Travel' self-declaration to confirm they are free from illness. This is mandatory and must be completed at the latest 24 hours before departure.

CAMPING
This is a camping tour, and involvement from the passengers is required. This can include helping with meals and packing up camp.
Camping on this tour is at a mixture of national parks and campgrounds. All campgrounds do have basic toilet and shower facilities.
When camping, we use single swags. Swags are 'Aussie Bed Rolls' made from sturdy canvas with a mattress built into the swag. Passengers need to provide a sleeping bag and pillow to insert into the swag.
Swag Upgrade – if you would like to upgrade to a deluxe double swag that comfortably sleeps up to two people, you can pay a $300 upgrade fee during the booking process. This swag features a high-density foam mattress and mesh windows. Due to the size of this swag, there is limited availability, so it is first in best dressed.
Our wet weather option is tents shared by the group.
In the unlikely event of an extreme weather event, alternative accommodation may be sourced. In this case, the accommodation costs incurred will be shared 50/50 between Untamed Escapes and each passenger.
