Review of Emu Run’s Uluru day trip from Alice Springs, with cultural walks, sunset BBQ, sparkling wine, comfort stops, and practical advice.

“Yad, Tilo, and Miguel were phenomenal tour guides, who assembled a barbeque that catered for vegans, vegetarians, and muslims; which was also very tasty and healthy. The tour was very well organised, and time management was impecable. The sunset that was cast over Ayers Rock was absolutely breathtaking. This was by far one of the best tours I've been on to date. A huge thank you to the Emu Tours Team. Leverne Cummins.”

9.Uluru: Sunset, Sparkling Wine, Cheeseboard & Gourmet BBQ

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 193 reviews · 3h 31m · from $222

Watch Uluru change color at sunset, enjoy wine and a gourmet BBQ, then hear Aboriginal star stories beneath the southern sky.

“Such an amazing experience watching the Uluru change colour during the sunset! The bbq dinner was great too, had a delicious steak accompanied by other veg and salad etc. the only thing that could’ve been better was the communication between the bus driver and the tour operator. We weren’t told about the cheese board and wine until we had 10-15 minutes left of the sunset viewing which was annoying but overall a fun tour. Jessie was an amazing tour guide when we eventually found out who our guide was.”
