    The tour is approximately 3 hours long and starts at varying times throughout the year. Contact us with the month you wish to travel in.

  • What's the tour like?

    You'll have 3 hours to complete the base ride, this allows plenty of time to ride the 15km around Uluru with plenty of time to stop and explore before hopping back on the optional bus. The ride can be done very quickly, or nice and leisurely.  The tour operator recommends taking your time to ensure you get the full experience. They allow 3 hours, but most people finish in 2 -2.5 hours.

    You do not need to be an experienced cyclist or fitness fanatic to enjoy the experience.  The ride is on a packed earth path and is easily navigated.

    The tour is suitable for families and small children with children's bikes and tagalongs available.

  • What should I wear?

    Riders should wear comfortable runners/walking shoes and non-restricting clothing (loose trousers are not advised)

  • What items should I bring?

    Daypack to carry personal items, plenty of drinking water, sunscreen, sunglasses & camera if desired.
