Uluru National Park (Ayers Rock) Transportation Tips by ATXtraveler Top 5 Page for this destination

Yulara Domestic Airport

Most travel purists would probably tell me that I am taking the easy way out flying directly to this landmark, but what the heck.... I turned a 6 day boring excursion through the middle of the desert to a 6 hour round trip on a plane!

Yulara Airport is located just miles away from Uluru, and offers the flexibility of enjoying a view of Uluru from the air before you land. With this kind of luck, you do not need to spend money on a private helicopter or jet flight over Uluru!

Since you would most likely have to fly into Alice Springs and drive 5 hours, then I would say just pay a little extra and enjoy the flight into Yulara direct!

Uluru on the Cheap - Free Resort Shuttle

If you are trying to save cost on the trip to Uluru, please factor in that if you are staying at the resort in Yulara, you will be able to receive free transportation to and from the airport, as well as free transportation around the resort itself.

The resort is laid out in a big circle, so you are welcome to walk across the bush to get between locations, but there is really no reason with a shuttle coming every 10 minutes or so. There is only one shuttle that circles the resort, so you do have to wait on the other passengers, but this is well worth it when the heat gets turned up there in Uluru!

As for the rides to and from the plane... don't worry, they are there for all 5 flights into the airport each day, and leave the resort 90 minutes before each flight's departure. Make sure you get it while you can!
