Ultimate Sydney, Rock & Reef

Transfer to Sydney Airport for your flight to Uluru and transfer to Longitude 131°, your luxury desert camp, nestled atop sand dunes overlooking iconic Uluru. Settle in to your sumptuous Luxury Tent, before witnessing the changing colours of the sunset reflecting on Uluru as you sip a chilled glass of champagne. Dine amongst the dunes listening to the nocturnal sounds of the desert during your four-course dinner.

Discover Kata Tjuta, 36 dome-shaped rock formations on a walk through Walpa Gorge. Travel across the desert to Uluru, and take a guided walk along part of Uluru’s base, learning about the Mala people’s history and viewing cave paintings along the way. Take the Mala Walk to Kantju Gorge at dusk to witness the walls ablaze with colour as the sun sets. Dinner is served at Longitude 131°.

Rise early to experience the remarkable change of colours on Uluru and the desert landscape at daybreak. If time permits we suggest taking an optional guided walk of Uluru’s base before enjoying breakfast back at the desert camp. Transfer to Ayers Rock Airport for your flight to Cairns in Queensland’s tropical north, and transfer to your waterfront hotel.

Fly to Lizard Island, a secluded luxury resort set right on the Great Barrier Reef. Your flight to the island is part of the experience and allows you to witness the true majesty and scale of the reef from the air. Enjoy a cocktail or chilled wine at the bar and decide which of the island’s 24 private beaches you are going to make your own tomorrow.

Start your day with a leisurely breakfast. Collect your deluxe picnic hamper from the Beach Club and steer your motor dinghy to your own private beach. Return to your island accommodation before pre-dinner drinks at Driftwood Bar and Wine Cellar. Dinner is served at Salt Water Restaurant, or for an additional charge you can enjoy a private sunset beachside seven-course degustation menu.

There is always a new adventure for you to discover on Lizard Island, whether on land or the water. Navigate Anchor Bay on a paddle board or explore the reefs and marine life in a glass bottom sea kayak. Hike to the highest point of Lizard Island to Cook’s Look for panoramic views or join a resident naturalist to learn more about the island’s flora and fauna.

Private fishing charters can be arranged at Lizard Island, or if you wish to discover more of the Outer Barrier Reef, join a morning snorkel cruise on the island’s private motor yacht. A wonderful way to end your Lizard Island experience is on a private sunset cruise, while sipping chilled champagne.

Fly back to Cairns for your onward flight departure.
