Magic: there's no other word to characterize Uluru's influence on those who descend upon it. Uluru has a beauty that is unique, once you experience this, it's instantly obvious that this is a holy place for the people of Anangu and such a remarkable destination for all Australians. There's no better time for your family to explore the country's spiritual heart; a place that captures the splendour and the stark contrasts so beautifully. There are so many ways to appreciate and witness Uluru's beauty, so many diverse activities and viewpoints from which to admire one of the natural wonders of the world. Do some of these, or do them all, whatever it may be, you will soon be under the spell of rock. The true magic of travelling to Uluru is to be found around the sacred ancient monolith, above and beyond. Here's a list of 9 ways to experience Uluru in Australia.

Diving from the sky

One of the major rush of adrenalin. Jump over the desert from 12,000 feet and enjoy a five-minute freefall and parachute flight, looking down over Uluru and Kata Tjuta. All skydives – available at any time of day – are tandem jumps, with licensed instructors from the Australian Parachute Federation.

Outback Tours in Uluru

Get under the skin of Indigenous Uluru and Red Center on a four-wheel drive tour of the wider region with one of the highly qualified guide teams. The Australia SEIT Outback tours explore myths, history, flora and fauna, and take in waterholes and holy places.

Immersed in tiny lights

The extraordinary Field of Light installation by British artist Bruce Munro speaks to the Uluru landscape through a series of illuminated pathways containing 50,000 glowing and winding spheres that reflect the starry dawn sky and are aptly dubbed “Tili Wiru Tjuta Nyakutjaku” – which translates as “lots of beautiful lights” – by the local people of Pitjantjatjara. Until December 31, 2020 field of light will be in place.

Meet about 45 minutes before sunrise with your rider and ride pillion to Talinguru Nyakunytjaku (a viewing area) to watch the dawn bring Uluru to life. A complete circuit around the base of the mountain gives you a 360-degree close-up of the formation and takes you to the rock's “dark side”.

High flying by chopper

Ayers Rock Helicopters fly every day, from sunrise to sunset, on request. They sell everything from scenic flights in Uluru in 15 minutes to full-day charters to and from Kings Canyon. The short flight enables you to take in the desert setting, with the pilot giving informative comments. Add on 15 minutes and you'll see Kata Tjuta ‘s majestic domes.

From the back of a camel

A one-hour camel ride over the dunes in the cool, clear morning air or on a balmy night is plenty of time to bond with your gentle dromedary and friendly cameleers. It's a unique view of the rock, flora, fauna and surrounding desert, allowing time to snap pictures (without the swaying action).  Afterwards, enjoy a light damper breakfast (Aussie campfire bread) with local jams plus tea and coffee, or some Australian beer, wine, champagne and outback bush foods on the sunset trips.

Glamping, gazing and gourmet snacks

Stay at the Ayers Rock Resort

Maybe you want to do some S ‘mores around a campfire and get closer to nature? Or maybe you would like to drink limitless champagne in a glamorously decorated lodge? Anyway, you're going to get some of the most majestic views of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and a shimmering starry night sky.
