After more than a decade of planning Australia’s latest luxury guided walk has opened.
Tas Walking Company’s 5-day/54km Uluru-Kata Tjuta Signature Walk in Central Australia offers a new way to experience one of Australia’s most recognisable landscapes.
“Millions have stood before Uluru, but few have been invited by Anangu Owners to move through its landscape like this,” said co-owner Brett Godfrey.
“This walk took ten years to earn the right to exist. It has been a project of patience, partnership and persistence, and I’m incredibly proud of every single team member and stakeholder who had a hand in its development.
This new walk has been shaped by close collaboration with Anangu Traditional Owners, including Steering Committee Chair Tapaya Edwards, who played a key role in moving away from an era of climbing Uluru toward a more respectful way of walking toward it.
For Tapaya, the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Signature Walk is both a tribute to his ancestors and a healing place for walkers. “This is an important place for healing the spirit,” Tapaya said.
“People will come here and feel the land as they walk through it. The Spirit of the Dreaming will wash over them. The walk is going to blow their mind.”
Tas Walking Company’s GM of Operations, Heath Garratt played a key role in bringing the walk to market and said the experience of partnering with Anangu was life changing.
“Working with a culture that’s more than 30,000 years old – and in a landscape that stretches back 500 million years - teaches patience, trust and the value of slowing down to truly listen. That happens outside the boardroom, by sitting down, working together and finding common ground. I’ve learned so much from that.”
The dream of walking between the two geological wonders has captured global attention, earning the new trail a place in 2026 “Where to Go” lists published by BBC, Travel + Leisure and National Geographic.
Spanning five days and 54 kilometres - including 38km of newly mapped trails - the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Signature Walk offers a new way to experience one of Australia’s most recognisable landscapes.
The five-day walk starts from AUD$5395 pp/twin share.
