Can you touch Uluru?
Yes, while climbing Uluru has been understandably banned, visitors are still permitted to touch the rock’s surface as they walk around its base. However, you will need to refrain from pocketing any rock or sand samples during your walk, as these belong in the park, not in your pocket or home.
Can you take pictures of Uluru?
Yes, but we do ask you to be mindful of any Anangu sacred sites at Uluru and Kata Tjuta and refrain from taking any pictures of these areas. These sensitive sites are generally well-signposted, but if you do have any doubts about whether or not you can photograph a certain area, we encourage you to check in with a professional guide.
How long is the Uluru base walk?
The base walk around Uluru is around 10 km in total and takes roughly 3-4 hours to complete depending on your pace. While you are welcome to complete the entire walk, you can also concentrate on walking a smaller section of the track if you’d prefer.
