Special Information
The Anangu people have dissuaded visitors from climbing Uluru for decades; as traditional owners of the land they feel a deep responsibility for everyone who travels to the area. In 1998 we were among the first tour operators to stop climbing Uluru. The Intrepid Group are proud to be involved with local communities in Uluru and to have an ongoing commitment to providing employment for the Anangu people. You show respect when you visit Uluru, but walk with Anangu throughout the area and share their stories instead.

If considering onward flight connections, please do not book a flight departing prior to 12.30 pm.
