Our Uluru Sunrise Experience started out being picked up later than we expected. Then we went back to the first pick up spot to pick up a couple who were not on time. This caused us to be late to the mountain. The sun was already rising. Most people ran pass the morning drinks and food provided to race to the sunrise viewing platform. We were able to watch the sun finish rising and saw the colors on the face of Ayers Rock. That was beautiful! Then we needed to return to the bus to head to Kata Tjuta and all of the food/drinks had been cleared out. I'm sure the late couple appreciated that the bus returned for them, but the rest of us would have appreciated being at Ayers Rock on time and having a coffee or not having to race to the platform!
Our guide was Chloe and she did a great job during our walk at Kata Tjuta National Park and to Walpa Gorge. This is a very rocky, uneven walk going uphill that takes about 30 minute up and back. Wear good walking/hiking shoes. It is very beautiful. We were provided with snacks and water at this point. We also saw a pack of 5 wild camels near the side of the road! Great excursion overall!
