Family-Friendly Holidays at Uluru
Take Time To Bond In The Red Centre
Where can you make memories as a family, keep everyone busy from dawn till dusk, and feel good about introducing your kids to responsible travel and Australia’s oldest living culture? A family holiday at Uluru is a fantastic way to connect with the land, with local culture, and with one another.
Must-Do Experiences With Kids
Early risers in the family? No problem – bundle everyone up for Sunrise Journeys. Or, at the end of a busy day exploring, skip reading a bedtime story and treat the family to the Mala story instead at Wintjiri Wiru. Most of our experiences are suitable for children aged five and up.
