Excellent tour from start to finish. Lovely Amanda picked up our group at resort and flew the aircraft over and around Uluru and KataTjuta pointing out all the landmarks and informing us of local traditions. Safe and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Great views from above

Yael_S, May 2024

Stunning views. A little bit of a bumpy ride, but felt safe enough the whole time. The pilot Hayden was great.

Unforgettable Uluru

Robert_V, Feb 2024

First time in a small plane, felt relaxed after a few minutes and then enjoyed the amazing views and educational commentary from the pilot.thanks

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you for flying with us Robert! It was our pleasure.

Best way to see both areas of the park

Millicent_A, Feb 2024

Amazing way to see the national park and get so much information about the history of the area. Liam picked us up from the resort and as we were only a small group we got to sit on the same side of the plane so we both got amazing views. The plane does have front windows that open for airflow which is great when it’s super hot but you also don’t have to worry about your belongings flying out (I was initially worried about bringing my phone for photos but it was fine)

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you for flying with us!

Great hot day

Amanda_Y, Jan 2024

Eve was absolutely lovely.. despite being fly sickness as a first time. Pro tip - do not drink alcohol or coffee before scenic flight on a 40+ degree day.. dehydration really caught up on me. Despite the hiccup, the experience was amazing. Eve was very accommodating and did her best to give me the best experience. Thanks Eve and the team!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you for your review Amanda! I will pass this onto Eve.

A great view of the Olga’s and Uluṟu from the sunset plane trip

Anne_L, Oct 2023

Liam gave us a great commentary from the cockpit and was a very competent pilot . The sunset tour was worth the money we paid . Beautiful views of Uluṟu and Kata Juta .

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thanks for flying with us!

The best perspective!

KAREN_B, Jul 2023

Getting a perspective on this vast landscape from the sky, INCREDIBLE. We learnt so much and spent the whole flight just amazed. You can't get a true idea of this landscape until you are looking down on it. Great value for the experience you get. Do it!

Awesome experience to do while in Yulara

Leigh_G, Jun 2023

Had a wonderful experience viewing Uluṟu and Kata Tjuṯa from the air. We were up for 40 mins with excellent information given by the pilot as well.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hi Leigh, Thank you so much for flying with us! We are glad you had a good experience.

Alex, our pilot and guide was awesome and information. Very pleasant, funny and generous with his time and knowledge. 👍

Sean_N, Jun 2023

Awesome experience, great pilot (Alex). Everything was fantastic, from our pickup to drop-off. We'd highly recommend this brilliant experience.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you Sean for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that Alex provided an awesome and informative flight. Safe Flying.

disappointing

Kim_Z, May 2023

Our trip was cancelled the evening before due to pilot shortage. We were offer an upgrade (via voicemail) the next day but already had other trips booked so this was impossible. We have called and email with no response from either Viator or Fly Uluru Hopefully we will be contacted shortly as we are following up on a full refund

Response from Host, May 2023

Hey Kim, Sorry for the inconvenience. We have processed your refund and contact us on 08 8956 2077 if you have any more concerns.

Flying over Uluṟu - the colour changed 3 time in a short period - it’s a magical place for sure. Loved it so much. The pilot was amazing.

Excellent Customer Service

Charmaine_G, Mar 2023

Our flight was booked for 8.30am. Was very windy, pilot arrived to pick us up and offered to delay our flight until 12.30pm as wind was to drop and we would have a better experience. And that we did. Still some turbulence from the wind but can't stress enough how grateful and surprised at the offer to delay our flight. Would recommend this experience, it was awesome!

air ride experience

Nory_S, Jan 2023

We flew midmorning. We had done the sunset half day/barbeque the day before. It was wonderful to see Uluru and Kata above the ground a totally different perspective.

Awesome scenic flight

Roderick_J, Jan 2023

A visit to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park not complete unless you see it from the air! The aircraft was comfortable with large viewing windows allowing decent photography. The flight gives all passengers equal viewing time. Recommend very highly.

Just do it!

HUGH_M, Dec 2022

Our scenic plane flight over Uluru and Kata Tjuta was exhilarating! Viewing these ancient Australian icons from the air was a real privilege. Michael, our Pilot, was outstanding. Michaels friendly disposition and extensive knowledge, of Uluru and Kata Tjuta made the flight a real treat for all of our family. The plane was very clean, very roomy and obviously well maintained. There were abundant opportunities to take clear and unobstructed photos of Uluru and Kata Tjuta. This activity is a must do! Make sure it is first on your list.

Magnificient Uluru and Kata Tjuta plane experience

Marianne_O, Nov 2022

The whole plane trip was memorable. The pilot was friendly and informative, the plane was comfortable and the view was magnificient. It was the perfect way to get an understanding of the area around Uluru and Kata Tjuta and see where we would be walking in future days. Neither of us had been in a small plane before but we felt very safe.

Worthwhile, memorable experience.

Peter_M, Oct 2022

Seeing the stunning landscape including Uluru and Kata Tjuta from the air; Tim’s (pilot) excellent & informative commentary.

Incredible!!

Brodie_H, Sep 2022

Absolutely loved it! Our pilot was incredibly friendly, informative and made it a very memorable experience. Thank you
