A really special time was had by our little group of four. Thank you particularly to Alex and Matteo!
The rising of the full moon over the Rock made for a cover photo shot.

The walk is anti-clockwise so we walked for about 40 mins from the car park, each armed with a nifty SEIT satchel containing our breakfast, thus walking to meet the rising sun. First stop was to sit and watch the changing colours of the rock, along with Lucia explaining native stories attached to unique features of the rock.
The entire walk is 10.5kms following the path around Uluru (no fear of getting lost but Lucia was excellent about keeping our little group moving, with frequent rest stops and two public bathroom stops).
There aren't many explanations or photos of the SEIT breakfast but the satchel included a small flask of hot water, zip lock bag with disposable spoon, tea bag, instant coffee and sugar sachet, a fruit cup, small container of orange juice, another small container of milk, a pouch of muesli, two small Anzac cookies, a muesli bar and 500ml bottle of water. At our second bathroom stop, we happily ate more of the breakfast supplies (less to carry, really).
One gets hot, dusty, footsore and tired, but Lucia dropped us back at our respective hotels and it was only 11.45am! Just in time to wash up in our hotel room and head to the hotel's bistro for lunch. All in all, an excellent half day tour, a full walk (trek) around Uluru and really seeing all of the rock's geographic features that photos don't do justice.

Peter was carrying a plastic spray bottle of water, misting all of us at regular intervals to keep everyone hydrated on the outside, and reminding us to take small sips of water regularly too - sound ideas!
Just a thought - if it has been raining recently and the trail is wet, perhaps consider postponing this little tour to another day if you can possibly manage it. The incline is grade 3, the trail is rock and could be really slippery underfoot.

We did the Uluru highlights tour today with Andrea and Mimi and it was superb! Both were really lovely and Andrea's knowledge of the area and First Nation's culture was excellent. He was able to answer questions easily and was thoughful and helpful throughout the tour. We'd highly recommend it!

On the tour, we spend more time in the van driving than at the site. It takes 45 minutes to drive to Kata Tjuṯan and the gorge walk is only and hour and fifteen minutes. Tour makes no sense. The poor guide had to come up with an hour and a half of information.

SEIT S, Manager at SEIT Tours, responded to this review - 2025-06-22
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We understand your concern about the price. Just to clarify, the $175 AUD is our standard rate for this tour, whether booked in advance or on the day. There’s no surge pricing applied at the ticket office—our goal is always to keep pricing transparent and consistent for all guests.
The drive to Kata Tjuṯa does takes approximately 45 minutes each way, and the walk through Walpa Gorge is typically about one hour. This allows guests to enjoy both the journey through the stunning desert landscape and the walk itself. Our guides are passionate about sharing the cultural and natural history of the area, and they enjoy passing on their knowledge to our guests.
That said, we truly value your feedback and will share it with our team as we continue to improve. We hope you still took away some memorable moments from this unique part of the world.

Just enjoyed an outstanding Uluru sunset tour with Max our driver and guide. Max's in depth knowledge and explanations of sites and culture were above and beyond. Very highly recommend this small group tour with bubbles and nibbles to enjoy as the "Rock" changes colour as the sun sets. Fabulous.

Really enjoyed the SEIT Uluru Tour. Rachel was really informative & interesting to listen to. We were really glad that we also got to go to the cultural centre as we thought we may miss out on this during our time at Uluru. The nibbles at sunset were delicious as were the bubbles :)

The SEIT Uluru Highlights tour was an unforgettable experience! Our guide was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable, making the pre-dawn wake-up call well worth it. While getting up that early is a challenge, the upside is that you’re back at your hotel in time for breakfast.
Watching the sunrise over Ayers Rock during the breakfast stop was absolutely breathtaking. The food itself (coffee, tea, and pastries) was decent enough, but the real star is the spectacular view.
The short walk around part of the rock was both informative and manageable, even in the height of summer. The drive around the base was another highlight, giving a rare opportunity to see the rock from multiple angles—something you don’t fully appreciate from the resorts.
Throughout the tour, we learned a detailed history of Uluru and its deep significance to the local Aboriginal people, adding even more depth to the experience. The sheer awe-inspiring beauty of the rock is something that must be seen in person. Highly recommend this tour!

We loved our Uluru Highlights tour today with Kayla! It was a private tour, and she certainly took care of us! Picnic breakfast was perfect! No sunrise views due to rain but this made for great waterfall not normally seen! Kayla was as excited as us! We heard stories of the land and people. It was a tour not to be missed! Thank you Kayla!

Best tour company in Uluru due to small group size. This allows for a slower pace, much more informative and more personable service from their staff. We did tours with other companies but loved Seit the most. Did the Uluru base walk and Sunset tour with them. Wish I could get the recipe for that bush tomato dip!

Kayla with SEIT was an absolute legend! Our Uluru experience was top notch because of her guidance. She was so lovely, knowledgeable, and good fun to share the afternoon with. We loved that it was a smaller, more intimate group than the big charter bus herds. Those are fine for photo ops, but having our little group really allowed us the opportunity to lean in and learn about Uluru and the Mutitjulu community. I would absolutely recommend SEIT, and Kayla specifically! ????????????

My husband and I did the SEIT Kata-Tjuta sunrise with Zoe from SEIT. We were well looked after from start to finish, enjoying the sunrise from a lookout, then a generous breakfast before our walk in Walpa Gorge. Zoe was so informative about the wildlife, plants and geology, as well as the history. I was a bit uncertain about the walk difficulty but made it, in spite of brief rain making it quite slippery on the way back. It was worth it! We wish Zoe all the best, she is well suited to tourism and made sure we had a memorable visit to this area.

My daughter and I recently did a SEIT base walk of Uluru with Julia and it was amazing! Julie was so friendly, professional and engaging and the information and stories she shared during the work really enriched the experience for us.
The breakfast pack was delicious and very filling - I wasn't sure what to expect, however the options provided exceeded my expectations and was very thoughtfully put together.
We would definitely recommend this organisation and tour to visitors to Uluru.
