100/10!









Would love to do it all again!
Hints: try to check the moon status and cloud coverage to get the best of sky








My suggestion is wearing warm clothes (they do provide blanket though, nice) and having a full dinner and not drinking too much before joining the tour, coz no toilet for 3 hrs.


Great mix of theory and practice with stories/facts about the moons, planets, stars, galaxies and the milky way, as well as getting to see all of these with the binoculars and then with the telescopes for a closer look.
Not to mention the view of the sky, it was incredible and next level compared to anything I've ever seen. Photo's on your phone could never do it justice.. good thing you get a professional photo included in your tour cost to capture the view.
Worth every dollar, go for it!





The tour meeting place is TownSq
However ourselves and another family
Arrived at Town sq. wondering are we in the right place?
A small sign to suggest we were would have been helpful.
However Joseph came and walked us a few hundred yards
to the designated viewing point . It’s on the edge of the township.
We were fortunate to have a clear starry evening. Chairs were provided
And Joseph began his narrative. He was interesting and well informed
and had a powerful laser light to direct us to the stars/planets that were visible.
We later had a chance to see some stars / planets thru the telescope.
It was interesting but had hoped to see more and there might have been more
Telescopes. We were fortunate that we were just two couples and their daughter.
Thank you Joseph for a interesting evening. ( Astro eve is about 1hr 20min)



The bus was on time and clean, the guide was interesting and helpful. We had a small group of about 15 so we were very lucky to have plenty of viewing and question time. We took small kids with us (4yo) and they were very accomodating opening the bus early when they fell asleep on us. The talk was interesting and pitched at the right knowledge level for us (not the kids but that's okay we knew that when booking), and the scenery very inspiring. It felt very special to be allowed in the park at night and to see the outline of Uluru against the stars.
The Milky Way wasn't positioned above Uluru's shadow like the advertising photos show which I was a bit disappointed by, but if the earth isn't in the right spot, they can't help that! The kids were also tired and grumpy so the photo was pretty poor as we weren't able to stay still to get a clear shot so it turned out blurry.
All in all, I would definitely recommend and will do it again on future visits.




Thanks to our tour guides Simon and Steven for their detailed introduction and perfect photography during the trip.

I was picked up from my accommodation in a coach and taken out to the Uluru sunset viewing area with a large group of tourists. Once there, we were split into English-speaking and Chinese-speaking guests, with the tour company providing guides in both languages. They had chairs set up for us and also provided blankets. Our star guide, Gordon, was incredibly knowledgable in astronomy and Aboriginal sky legends. There were two telescopes set up so we could have a close up look at Saturn and other points of interest in the night sky.
Special shout out to Rachel, our driver, who was lovely and kept everything running smoothly. At the end of the tour we were ferried back to our hotels by coach.
I really recommend this tour to anyone interested in astronomy, astrophotography and also to those who want a special night-time experience at Uluru. During my visit (in mid-September) the park closed at 7.30pm and so this was the only opportunity I had to take astrophotos. For me this trip was definitely good value and will always be a highlight of my time at Uluru.


First off our bus driver Steven had a beautiful banter and personality. He briefed us well and transported us to blast off zone into another Galaxy.
From the clarity of the night sky to the knowledge of our Star Guide (Gordon) the night is one that will stay in our memories of Uluru for a million light years.
Gordon may be young but his professionalism, humor and knowledge took him into the stratosphere of presenters in his field.
Thankyou everybody that made this tour a resounding success.










Highly recommend them.





The three parts of the experience included: 1) Stargazing (specific planets and constellations including Aboriginal constellations), 2) Star Talk (including basic astronomy concepts and Aboriginal ways of seeing, using, and interpreting the night sky), and 3) Photographs of participants with Uluru and the Milky Way in the background!
Truly a highlight of my time in Australia. Highly recommend!!



Gordon, our guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining
I would highly recommend avoiding the Astro tour through Ayers Rock Resort. It was very short just one hour and in the resort where light pollution prevented you from seeing the full Milky Way. With my stargazing lust completely unsatisfied I rebooked through a Uluru Astro tour the next night. I would highly suggest going with Uluru Astro tours which offered a three hour tour, right in the heart of Uluru park and with professional photography. You would miss this if you book through Ayer’s Rock.
Mind blowing experience, finally got to see the Milky Way with my naked. It was such a surreal moment and to do this in front of Uluru is just magical. This was by far the best tour and experience at Uluru.
Thank you so much and for taking me on such short notice too and for answering my dozen phone calls over three days.
Thanks to Gordon the girl and the photographer for such an amazing. Thank you thank you thank you!






We saw the Milky Way over the mighty Uluṟu. The passion of what they do is obvious, it’s not just a job.
I would recommend this tour to everyone.
Thank you Atrip.




The night sky was breathtakingly beautiful
It was a truly magical experience.




Everything well organised and wonderful guides
Friendly with a lot of knowledge and stories about the sky
Looking at the dark sky, with bright stars and Uluru still visible in the background
