The Uluru Bus Sunset Viewing Area offers panoramic views of Uluru and Kata Tjuta from a nearby dune. (opens in a new tab)

Take the dune walk

A 500 m return dune walk takes about 30 minutes and offers a quieter viewpoint away from the busy parking area. Toilets are available, but there is no water.

Plan your visit

The area is open to everyone until 4.00 pm. After that it is reserved for buses and coaches; visitors with their own vehicle can use the nearby car sunset viewing area. It also works well at sunrise.

The viewing area is within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, reached from Lasseter Highway near Yulara. (opens in a new tab)
