Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Lake Amadeus Scenic Flight

1 to 4 hours

Overview

This fixed-wing scenic flight gives you a wide-angle look at Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Lake Amadeus in one trip. It’s a pricier option, but if you want to see the scale and colour contrasts of the Red Centre from above, this is the main draw. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and every passenger gets a guaranteed window seat, so you’re not paying for an aerial tour and ending up stuck in the middle.

Why backpackers love it

If you’re only in the Red Centre for a short time, this is an easy way to cover a lot of ground without organising extra transport. The guaranteed window seat is a genuine plus, especially on a scenic flight where the views are the whole point. It’s not a budget activity at more than $500, but for travellers keen on big aerial views and a smoother, all-in-one setup with transfers included, it offers a straightforward way to see more than you would from the ground.

What to expect

After hotel pickup, you’ll head out for your flight and settle in with a headset so you can hear the pilot’s live commentary clearly. Once airborne, you’ll fly over Uluru and Kata Tjuta, then continue across Lake Amadeus, the Northern Territory’s largest salt lake. The flight is designed to show off the desert landscape from above, including the strong shifts in colour across the rock formations and salt lake, and you may also spot wild camels. After the flight, you’ll be dropped back at your hotel.
