Short answer: the cheapest multi-day Uluru tour from Alice Springs we sell is the Uluru, Kata Tjuta & Kings Canyon 4 Day Tour (swag) at $799. The 4 Day Swag Tour covers 4 days, 3 nights in swags, 9 meals and the national park pass, ending at Yulara (Ayers Rock) so you can fly out. Operators’ own sites on 27 October 2026 showed 3-day camping tours from Alice Springs at A$795 and 2-day tours at A$695 to A$770, so the 4-day tour costs about the same as a 3-day and less per day than either. For one day at the rock, there’s the Uluru Sunset Day Tour from $329 (from Ayers Rock Resort; the Alice Springs return costs more, and the park pass is extra). Wanderlust Travel & Adventure is an Australian backpacker travel agency in Byron Bay, with no booking fee.
Our prices are per person in AUD and update from our live listings. Other operators’ prices come from their own websites on 27 October 2026 and change by date and season.

Short tours cost more per day because the drive from Alice Springs to Uluru is about 450 km each way. A 2-day tour spends most of its time on the road.
Why the 4-day tour is the cheapest per day
The 4 Day Swag Tour, run by Adventure Tours Australia, is from $799. The operator lists the same trip at A$859 on its own site. Included:
- 3 nights swag camping at safari-style camps with shared facilities
- 9 meals: 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 3 dinners
- Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park entry
- Uluru at sunset and sunrise, the full 10 km base walk and the Cultural Centre
- Walpa Gorge at Kata Tjuta
- the Kings Canyon Rim Walk
- an audio guide in French, German, Japanese, Korean or Spanish
It finishes at Yulara, next to Ayers Rock Airport, so you don’t pay to get back to Alice Springs. Groups are 8 to 29.
Who it suits: backpackers who want the full Red Centre loop for the lowest daily cost and don’t mind sleeping in a swag.
Cheapest way to see Uluru in one day
The Uluru Sunset Day Tour from Ayers Rock Resort is from $329 and takes about six hours. It includes the Cultural Centre, the Mala Walk, Mutitjulu Waterhole and a sunset dinner. The Alice Springs return version is a 7am pick-up that gets back after midnight and costs more. The national park pass is extra on the day tour (our listing puts it at $38).
You can also get there by coach. The Alice Springs to Ayers Rock Resort Coach is $269 each way. Add the coach both ways, the day tour, the park pass and a night at Yulara, and you’ve passed the price of the 4-day tour without seeing Kata Tjuta or Kings Canyon.
When a longer tour is worth it
The 5 Day Tour, Alice Springs return, from $1,539, adds the West MacDonnell Ranges and brings you back to Alice Springs. Pick it if your flight leaves from Alice. Coming from Adelaide, the Adelaide to Uluru 7 Day Outback Tour is from $1,909, with Coober Pedy on the way.

Questions: cheapest Uluru tour from Alice Springs
What is the cheapest Uluru tour from Alice Springs?
Of the multi-day tours we sell from Alice Springs, the 4 Day Swag Tour at $799. The 4 Day Swag Tour costs about the same as a 3-day camping tour on other operators’ sites (A$795 on 27 October 2026) and has an extra day. For a single day at the rock, the sunset day tour is from $329 from Ayers Rock Resort.
Is a 3-day Uluru tour enough?
Yes, it covers Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon. It’s rushed, though, and on 27 October the 3-day tours we checked cost about the same as the 4-day tour we sell. The fourth day gives you sunrise and the full base walk without a 4am start every morning.
Is the national park pass included?
On the 4, 5 and 7-day tours, yes. On the day tour, Segway rides and helicopter flights, no. Our listing puts it at $38 per person.
Is it cheaper to hire a car?
For two or more people splitting fuel, sometimes. But the drive is about 450 km each way, campgrounds and the park pass are extra, and many hire companies restrict unsealed roads. The tour includes meals, the park pass and a guide.
When is it too hot for an Uluru tour?
December to February regularly passes 40°C, and some walks close in the afternoon heat. May to September is cooler, but nights in a swag drop near freezing. Pack a warm layer.
