Australia: Outback Adventure
Destinations
Australia
Overview
The Australian outback has to be experienced to be believed. This is home to the world's oldest living culture, to skyscraper-sized boulders, scores of crocodiles & kangaroos, ancient rainforest, and the giant red monolith that is Uluru. You'll see it all from Uluru to Darwin in 9 incredible days, with time for sunset hikes, natural wonders, and lunar landscapes along the way.
Itinerary Teaser
Welcome to your outback adventure! Today in Uluru, you'll have the option to see the spectacular Field of Lights. Afterwards, we'll settle in to our accommodation and get some sleep, ready for a full day of exploration in the morning.

Activities and Logistics
- Uluru: Chill with your new BFFs over dinner at Uluru.
- Uluru: Start the day the right way – by enjoying the sunrise over Uluru. This should be on everyone’s #lifegoals list.
- Kata Tjuta: Walk around this sacred site. See the Valley of the Winds and Walpa Gorge, with its towering domes that change colour in the sunlight.
- Uluru: Does it get any better than a 'Big Brekkie' cooked up on the BBQ? We think not.
- Uluru: Salute this sacred landmark with drinks and nibbles as you watch the sun set. A moment you’ll replay in your mind forever.
- Kings Canyon: Climb the 'stairway to heaven' to the aptly named Garden of Eden, Kings Canyon.
- Alice Springs: Off we soar to our next destination.
- Darwin: We’ll uncover the very best of this cultural hotspot, with a local guide on hand to answer all our burning questions.
- Kakadu National Park: Immerse yourself in Aboriginal culture at Pudakul. Meet a local family in their home and learn about the significance of the Didgeridoo.
- Kakadu National Park: Climb to the top and be rewarded with a sunset to rival the African savannas. You’ll half-expect a lion to walk into the frame!
- Kakadu National Park: See the work of Aboriginal artists and craft-makers and learn more about the indigenous tribes.
- Kakadu National Park: Some Aboriginal art on Nourlangie Rocks has been around for 20,000 years! It makes our nan look like a spring chicken.
- Katherine: Kick back and take a refreshing dip in the crystalline plunge pools, surrounded by monsoon forest. Pure bliss!
- Litchfield National Park: One for the bucket list. Take it easy in the relaxing plunge pools, or swim under the cascading Florence Falls.
- Litchfield National Park: Check out this weird but unmissable highlight at Litchfield National Park.
Dining Summary
- 7 Breakfast (B)
- 2 Dinner (D)
FAQs
- Sydney: Why does the itinerary use dual-names for locations (ie. Warrane/Sydney)? Contiki acknowledges the Traditional and Torres Strait Island owners of the land, sea and waters of the spectacular Australian continent. Dual-naming reflects that, as we explore this remarkable land, we recognise and respect Indigenous custodianship of a unique, ancient culture and country.
- Sydney: What does a modular trip mean? A modular trip means fellow travellers will join and leave at various locations. There’ll be some goodbyes, sure, but there’ll also be plenty of hellos with new like-minded travellers.
