You'll see the monolith from angles impossible from the ground, plus glimpses of Kata Tjuta's ridge formations. A straightforward way to grasp the scale and isolation of these ancient rock formations without committing to a full-day expedition.

• Views across to Kata Tjuta's domed ridges
• Hotel pickup and return included
• Live commentary through headsets
• Suitable for infants with lap seats available

What to expect

You'll be collected from your accommodation and driven to the helipad. After a safety briefing and headset fitting, you board a small helicopter for a 15-minute circuit. The pilot points out geological features and Aboriginal significance via your personal headset. Winds can be strong, so expect some turbulence, but the windows are generous. Most of the flight focuses on Uluru's faces and the surrounding spinifex plains. The entire experience—transfer, flight, return—takes roughly 45 minutes.
