Prices skyrocket around the school holiday period, so steer clear of the winter holiday break for the biggest savings.

Best time to visit Uluru for…
- A road trip. Uluru is good all year round for a road trip, but to avoid the worst of the heat travel between May and September.
- Hiking. Uluru has a lot of uncovered hiking trails so on top of bringing plenty of water, it’s best to hike during winter (June-July).
- To stargaze. Stargazing is good all year round but winter offers the longest nights to capture the majesty of the skies.
- To ride a camel. Camel rides are available throughout the year. Similar to hiking, these rides offer little shade, so you should go during winter or sunrise/sundown.
