Day 2
Uluru Sunrise and Kata TjutaIt’s a beautiful start to your first full day with a special sunrise in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Grab a good spot, hot cocoa in hand, and watch the sun light up Uluru and the sprawling desert. Then learn more about the park on a guided walk with your Travel Director to Mutitjulu Waterhole at the base of Uluru. You’ll appreciate your guide's passion for the area and understanding on the ancient rock art rich with history and lifetimes of stories that have been preserved for hundreds of years. After a fascinating morning, kick back at the pool or visit the art galleries and Town Square shopping village. Later in the day you’ll get to enjoy even more of the National Park with a guided walk through through Walpa (meaning “wind”) Gorge to a lookout at Kata Tjuta’s thirty-six domes of red-hued sedimentary rock. End your day of stunning natural surroundings with another memorable Red Centre sunset paired with canapés and sparkling wine in a tucked away, secret spot. Taking in the still magnificence of Kata Tjuta, it’s ‘cheers’ to the Outback!Accommodation: Desert Gardens

To Towering Kings CanyonSunrise fans have another opportunity to greet the dawn at Uluru with an Optional Experience at the Field of Light installation of artist Bruce Munro. As the sun rises in the distance, you’ll make your way through 50,000 frosted glass spheres lighting up the desert in violet, blue, and white like a field of flowers, with Uluru as your backdrop. You’ve never seen anything like it, and it will make you appreciate Uluru and the land it occupies in a whole new way. Next up is a gorgeous desert drive from Uluru to Watarrka National Park (named for an Indigenous word meaning “umbrella bush”) to the ancient walls of Kings Canyon. Now, lace up your hiking boots and, accompanied by your Travel Director, climb to top of the canyon for a walk around its semi-circular edge. After your ascent, leave the sandstone formations behind to drop into the Garden of Eden’s shaded, lush oasis of greenery. Or take it easy on the creek bed walk.

Tennant Creek, the Territory's Heart of GoldRise and shine to your last day in Alice Springs visiting “the world’s largest classroom” at the School of the Air. Tour the school with a Local Specialist, and if you are lucky enough to be there during school term you might see a live session with kids in some of Australia’s most remote reaches. After an insightful morning, get out and adventure in Karlu Karlu (Devils Marbles), an amazing outcrop of precariously balanced granite boulders. These massive rocks of up to six metres high, believed by the Warmungu Aboriginal people to be the fossilised eggs of the Rainbow Serpent, continue to crack and change shape even today. Walk among them experiencing their majesty before reaching your home for the night in the former 1930s gold-mining town of Tennant Creek, “the Territory’s heart of gold.” Enjoy dinner with your travel mates in this history-rich spot sharing the highlights of your Outback travels.Accommodation: Bluestone Motor Inn

Day 7
Katherine and its Magical GorgeIt’s hard to believe it’s only been one week, but there is so much more to see. Enjoy a change of scenery in the Outback today on a visit to the quirky Daly Waters Pub. As soon as you step inside and see the collection of memorabilia on the walls, you’ll understand this pub’s encouragement to patrons to “leave something behind.” Take in its history from the days when Qantas pilots stopped to refuel on the nearby dirt runway as you sip on a cold schooner and maybe leave one of your own treasures behind. Your next “watering hole” is Mataranka’s hot springs to go for a refreshing dip in its crystal-clear, thermal springs. These healing waters show you another side of the Outback and are a relaxing stop on your way to Katherine, where the Outback meets the Tropics. Settle into your centrally located hotel, enjoy dinner with the group and maybe go for another swim in the pool.Accommodation: Contour
Meals: Breakfast Dinner -
Day 8
Timeless Kakadu National ParkGet ready for a big day in Nitmiluk National Park, where, on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience, you’ll team up with a Local Specialist for an Indigenous-owned two-hour boat cruise along the Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge’s ancient waterway of steep cliff walls, and maybe a freshwater crocodile or two on the banks. You’ll have a chance to take a closer look at the indigenous rock art before continuing your exploration on a second boat to the even bigger cliffs of the deep river gorge. Every stop is stunning and enhanced by your guide’s knowledge of the traditional Jawoyn landowners and their stories of how the gorge was formed. Next up is Kakadu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and cultural jewel also known for its wildlife. Cruise the Yellow Water Billabong as your Local Specialist points out the diverse species of birdlife including magpie geese, and perhaps more crocodiles.

Trafalgar did not dissapoint. Our TD Christin went above and beyond.
Our vacation trip to Egypt was very enjoyable. Learned about the history, culture and visited museums, ancient mosques, temples. The 7 day cruise was excellent; staff was great and friendly, food is good, and our travel tour guide Mohammed TAHA was very good, friendly, knowledgeable. He took us for coffee breaks outside the cities in our extra time to explore .
We had a great time with Trafalgar's Best of Greece trip. Would definitely recommend it!
This was really a good tour. Mount Pilatus was amazing. Venice was the highlight of the trip. Words cannot describe Venice
The tour director was great, with such a big group of 52 persons; She did wonderful job!!! The driver was also very professional. Total experience was very good.
2 of our accommodations were not twin beds as requested. We would definitely book again another tour if Palbo was the guide He was fantastic and really tried to accommodate us to the fullest.
Generally fast paced. Optional tours were worth signing up for. I saw a lot of Italy and had a lovely time especially in the medieval towns. Excellent tour director and coach driver who were passionate, cared deeply and made the journey a very safe and pleasant experience for the guests. Specialist tour guides were good and travelling companions were wonderful. I had a great time on this tour and could not have asked for more.
We have been on 7 Trafalgar tours and this one ranks right at the top. By far the longest and most adventurous. Nellie Sullivan was one of the best tour directors we’ve ever had. She went beyond what most TDs have done. Our optional excursions in Australia and New Zealand were phenomenal. Definitely a trip to remember.
4th Trafalgar Tour was the best yet. Our tour director Pedro Pinto was excellent. We saw both must see and seldom seen places. Truly best of Portugal. As a treat, our director got us representative sweets from each region as well as picking restaurants featuring local specialties.
This was our sixth trip with Trafalgar and we have never been dissapointed. We will continue to travel with them on future trips.
The tour was very rushed with skipping many parts of a tour and too many people squeezed in the bus. The tour operater commented daily on tipping the bus operator, our tour guide and other tour guides. Most meals included were low budget meals and the meals that we paid for were high quality meals . Some of the hotels were terrible and some were four stars . Sometimes we felt that we were treated as kids on a school bus trip and were scolded if we were a couple of minutes late, It was not a laid back experience. There were many extras for dinners and tours that we paid for. In my opinion for a tour of Italy I would rather have an Italian Tour Manager for the experience of Italy with an Italian accent , although our tour Manager spoke Italian really well, very experienced on Italy and the culture but a better experience. We were recommended in Venice while on a tour of a Merano glass Manufacture to purchase high quality products with life time guarantee . We bought a ring and several days later it became defective in loosing small pieces of it . We told the tour manager and she tried for several weeks thru email to correct the situation, but they would not replace the same ring, only give us a different one. After the tour we went on a tour to Sicily with gate one travel that we traveled before with that was 100 times better! I will not book we Trafalgar again or recommend them ! In fact I booked a tour of Japan in 2025 with Gate one discovery travel.
My 5th trip with Trafalgar. I would like to look into Insight in the future also.
Wonderful trip and tour. Trafalgar is top notch. Will book again next time with Affordable Tours and Trafalgar!
This package was really what I expected. Trafalgar gives the best experience for customers
