Completely overpriced! Would not recommend. This tour is significantly overpriced for what it delivers. I would have rated it one star, but to be fair, the night sky itself was beautiful.

At $138 per person, I expected an experience with meaningful opportunities to observe the stars through telescopes. Unfortunately, it did not match that expectation.

We were transported on a large bus with multiple stops and ended up in a group of around 46 people. With only three telescopes available, the experience felt overcrowded and rushed. There was very limited time at the telescopes, and no consistent guidance on what we were viewing due to staff needing to manage multiple groups at once.

While the staff were professional and did their best, the setup made it difficult to fully enjoy the experience. The lecture portion was interesting but hard to hear because of other nearby groups going on at the same time. A significant portion of the evening was spent waiting in line—particularly for photos and telescope access—rather than actually engaging with the stargazing.

Overall, much of the time was spent on transport and waiting, which made the experience feel underwhelming for the price. We did 3 other experiences while in Yulara, which were fantastic. This experience was ridiculously overpriced and overcrowded.

An Evening to Remember We had a magic evening star gazing in Uluru. Clear skies, warm evening with a gentle breeze. Even the (almost full) moon postponed coming up to give us a chance to see the Milky Way in its full majesty. Telescopes worked perfectly, all team members very friendly and knowledgeable. And Neil has amazing story telling skills, we could listen the whole night! Thanks all!

Fantastic experience and do not miss the opportunity to Star gaze with ZERO light pollution Had a fabulous time star gazing. We were lucky we had a clear night and no light pollution which made viewing stars amazing. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and was great to hear the stories about the local peoples version of the stories of the stars and how they used and navigated over the generations.

Hervorragend! Amazing - wonderful - just do it!!! Best ever experience - all was perfect and the person telling about the astro was just amazing! Thank you so much!!! The place, the stars, the talking, the seeing, the feeling - it was just perfect. Would have loved if there would have been kind of beds to lay down and enjoy the stars even more like this. Price was more than perfect, length was just about the time that the cold would get too much. As we made 2 teams the amount of persons were perfect. Best for everyone loving the stars, learning and feeling the planets. For me it was fulfilling a dream. Next time I would maybe take a privat visit with this driver.

the tour had good guides and facilities. We gazed numerous stars twinkling in the sky of Ayers Rock.

photo I am very disappointed how the photos were taken. I booked the tour after I saw the photos from their website. I thought that would be the lifetime opportunity to have the pictures taken under the stars and Milky Way. It turned out that photos were taken by a bus driver with pre-set camera. When people pointed out to the star, what appeared in the picture was way off because the driver just clicked the camera without seeing anything. The photos were also very blurry when enlarged. Considered we flew 17,131 km for the tour, it really was disappointing.

Informative pleasurable and easy We were worried about the heat and the bitting wildlife- no need to be. Time and money really well spend. The guides were knowledgeable and had a nice pace explaining and entertaining.

What a great star gazing tour! It’s the best Ayers Rock Resort offers. Both Olina and Steven were very hospitable, knowledgeable and passionate about astronomy. You also get photos which are included in the tour. Highly recommended to all visiting Uluru. Thank you / Palya Olina & Steven

Beautiful Sky full of Stars but disappointing experience Without a doubt being able to spend time in the outback and see so many stars clearly in the sky is a privilege. The shadow of Uluru in the background added to the experience.

However, we had attended the Sound of Silence Dinner the previous evening, and the presentation on the night's sky was detailed and beautifully delivered. It was informative and magical. This was not the case for this tour.

It was slightly chaotic from the start. The presentation was lackluster with the presenter not being able to remember a few of the stars' names!

The photo op was nice but felt that that was the main focus of the evening. Why pay a couple of $100 for a photo?

We were then left to wander in the dark on our own.

For me, it was not value for money. I think it could be a great tour if the amateur enthusiasts were not so amateur.

great for children I went with two children 8Y and 10Y. We all enjoyed hearing some of the myths and stories behind the constellations, which my children were easily able to find and follow, as well as spot some shooting stars. There were two telescopes and we were able to see the rings of Saturn and some clusters. The inital line was long but in the end we had multiple turns each. The photos were brilliant. It was a chilly night but the tour provided blankets. I was worried the time and length would be boring and tiring for the kids but they loved it and would have stayed longer if we could. As city kids, they loved exploring the stars!

Fabulous stars! Dear Uluru Astro Tour, Thank you so much for a great tour. I appreciated being able to see SO many stars which is just not possible where I live. Thank you for taking photos and sending them to me. What a great experience. I highly recommend this tour. Palya.

Amazing astro experience! Uluru is perfect for seeing the stars. I saw the clearest Milky Way and many shooting stars. Big thanks to driver Benson, assistant Jane, and our guide Cullen, who is really passionate about astronomy and I learned so much from his explanations. We even got beautiful photos. Truly romantic and unforgettable and highly recommend!

A magical experience with a fabulous team of Cosmos Guides! We very highly recommend taking the Uluru Astro Tour. The team were absolutely fantastic!
They have a wealth of knowledge about astronomy and are passionate about sharing it you. It’s more than just a tour.
The location is magical and you have plenty of time to absorb and enjoy the star gazing experience. The true stars were our tour guiding team!

Great night Had a great time. Zac, our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable about the constellations. Only thing that could make tour even better would be if they had one or two more telescopes to look through, 2 for the size of our group I don't think was enough but despite this we all had a great night.

A fantastic and mesmerizing experience! The Astro Tour was fantastic. From the moment our tour leader, Zach, told us to look up into the night sky and said "welcome to my office", we were mesmerized. Awe inspiring is the only way to describe the experience of seeing the Milky Way in a total dark zone. It was majestic. Zach delivered a wonderful talk full of facts, stories and legends. His description of the Dark Emu Nebula was particularly interesting, and we will now always know where to look for it, and what it means. Similarly, we will always know how to find south, and where to spot Scorpio. The tour was very well-organised. It was bitterly cold, but blankets were provided. The photo session was seamless and has given us wonderful images. We all had the opportunity to view constellations through telescopes and to ask questions. The tour was a highlight of our fabulous trip to the Red Centre. Highly recommended.

Fantastic tour. All the staff were so knowledgeable and lovely. Great set up with 2 groups - one for Chinese speaking guests and one for English speaking guests. Was great to look through the telescopes and then have our photos taken. Highly recommend.

Don't miss out on this!!!!!!!!! Its a fantastic experience. Fantastic tour. All the staff were so knowledgeable and lovely. Great set up with 2 groups - one for Chinese speaking guests and one for English speaking guests. Was great to look through the telescopes and then have our photos taken. Highly recommend.

The tour was long and tiring, but not very interesting. Even though the location is beautiful, we didn’t learn much...
The telescope part - which we were most excited about - lasted just a few seconds per person, with almost nothing to see and no real explanation. Most of the time we just waited in line to take one photo with Uluru.
Sadly, this felt more like a tourist trap than a professional or enriching experience.
For the price we paid, it really wasn’t good value for money. Would not recommend

Absolutely blown away by the Uluru Astro Tours! This was hands down an amazing experience that I'd recommend to absolutely everyone. Our guide was truly exceptional – not only incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the cosmos and local Aboriginal constellations, but also wonderfully accommodating and genuinely hilarious. They made the entire evening so engaging and enjoyable, answering every question with patience and a great sense of humor. Seeing the Milky Way from Uluru was a dream come true, and the setup was perfect. A crucial tip for anyone booking: definitely check the weather on the day of your tour! Clear skies make all the difference, and it is so worth it for the breathtaking views. Do yourself a favor and book this tour – you won't regret it!

The Uluru Astro tour was absolutely worth it. The tour was equipped with professional stargazing gear, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, combining astronomy with insights from various cultures. The group was thoughtfully split into two teams—one with Chinese commentary and one with English—making it accessible for everyone. They even provided blankets to keep us warm, which was a very considerate touch. The tour also included a commemorative photo with Uluru and the Milky Way, making the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed this. They were so kind and let us get on the tour at last minute for mums birthday. 🤣 and then got the bus to sing her happy birthday - was very funny. She felt so special - thanks guys.

The guides were knowledgeable and fun - great stories shared about the stars. Telescopes were really cool and the photo was fab!
Thanks so much 😊

We chose Astro Tours for this trip, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, the process was smooth, well-organized, and highly enjoyable.

We were also very lucky to see a meteor this time, which made the night even more magical and memorable. We truly appreciated their passion, attention to detail, and willingness to answer all our questions. It was a memorable and enriching experience that we would highly recommend to anyone interested in exploring the night sky.

This is the ultimate Uluru stargazing tour! The tour lasted 3 hours with a super in depth explanation of the night sky that we can see and what’s beyond! I loved hearing about how the local aboriginal people used the stars in their daily lives and how the different constellations have different stories to give warnings to each aboriginal community.
We got to look at the moon, planets, stars and more through the two telescopes and had experts on hand to answer all questions that we had!
Chairs, blankets, binoculars and assistance with photos was provided!
The cherry on the cake was the cool photograph that we had taken at the end of the night with both Uluru and the stars in the background!
I would 100% recommend this tour to everybody wanting to do a proper stargazing tour! I had an awesome evening! ✨

Wow. This was truly one of the best experiences of my life. The moment you step off the bus into the tour site, you're welcomed by 1000s of stars, the Milky Way, and the silhouette of Uluru. The guides are unbelievably knowledgable, and so friendly!!! Prepare to learn so much about the night sky!

We originally booked for Saturday but due to heavy cloud coverage, the tour couldn't go ahead that night. The team kept us in the loop about the ever-changing weather and we managed to go the next day - there was no way we were missing this!

It really doesn't matter if you're interested in astronomy or not, this tour is an absolute must - thank you!!

Not to be missed experience Perfect stargazing experience. Clear explanation of the different stars in the milky way to go with aboriginal stories around stars. Had a look at Saturn rings through telescope and rounded off with photo capturing night sky

Really amazing tour to do in Uluru! I don’t think there’s a better place on earth to stargaze than the Australian outback. Our guide Lucy was friendly and knowledgeable as she talked through the stars and showed us different planets and stars through the telescope. The professional photos taken were really high quality and helped commemorate the experience.

I loved this tour! It is a must when visiting Uluru. The best place to see the starry skies of the southern hemisphere, so dark and so clear. The guide was so sweet and very knowledgable about the stars. There was a telescope, so we could get a closer look at some cool stars and planets. I was lucky that there was a comet in the sky. It was a fabulous experience.

Breathtaking view of the stars I absolutely loved it! The guide was very knowledgable about the starry sky. I was lucky that a comet was in the sky and we got to see the moonrise. Telescopes were availiable to see the rings around Saturn and some other cool stuff. It was really amazing. The best place to see the starry skies, so dark and so clear.
100/10!

Amazing star gazing trip This was one of the best trips we did at Uluru. Lucy and the team were well organised and incredibly informative, with a well structured program of star gazing, telescope viewing and photos. The star photos were brilliant and a real bonus! I would recommend this trip to everyone!

Unmissable experience Unmissable experience - the sky was magical and the guides extremely informative. I had seen the Southern constellations before but never as clear. The opportunity to view nebulae and stars up close through their telescopes was fantastic. The ability to have an amazing photo with the Milky Way and the dark emu (at no extra cost) made for even better memories. Hats off to photographer Cullem and the guides!

A Perfect Evening under the Stars There is no better place than the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park to view the night sky. Coming from the city it was amazing to see the sky with such clarity and filled with an abundance of stars. Our guide, Dylan, was enthusiastic and informative and enriched our understanding of Anangu culture through his explanations of how they relate movements in the stars to life around them. Definitely a highlight of our stay in Central Australia.

Best star gazing The experience was amazing. Never had such a perfect environment to see the stars and the milky way with naked eyes. The tour guide was also amazing - she explained the stories of the stars of the indigenous people which was truely interesting. She also demonstrated how the indigenous people used the stars as the compass to find directions which we also used to find direction of sunrise/set. Overall best experience ever it is a must go

10/10 experience! A must do while you are here. Never have I seen that many stars so visibly with my eyes. Lyndsey, Neil and Colin made the experience very enjoyable. My partner and I, especially loved Lyndsey’s energy and how knowledgeable she was.

Would love to do it all again!

I’m so glad we booked this tour. Our kids loved it, as did we! I’ve never seen a night sky like it. Saw my first shooting star (and then 5 more!). All the guides were wonderful but the highlight for us was the star talk by Dylan which weaved Aboriginal understandings of the night sky with astronomy. Thank you for sharing - it was fantastic and a privilege to experience.

Truly one of the best tour experiences we've had. Superb friendly and knowledgeable tour guides with majestic milky way and beautiful sky what else we could've wanted. Lindsey and Steven were so knowledgeable we learned a lot from Lindsey stories and guides about the sky. Collin was also very patient with the photography and had an awesome set up. Overall a night to remember.
Hints: try to check the moon status and cloud coverage to get the best of sky

Under the milky way tonight Amazing to see the stars come to life away from city lights! Hard to believe that our night skies are blanketed with such beauty and we can rarely see it. Learning how the stars tell stories and seeing the full moon rise over Ulluru was an experience to remember. Highly recommend this tour!

Stargazing at the Rock This was a great experience at Uluru, such a different thing to do and the night sky is absolutely incredible in the Outback. I would highly recommend this for all as something different to do while visiting. My kids got such a huge kick out of it, they loved it, asking lots of great questions of our guide.

Sa good we went twice! So good, went two times! The first night we enjoyed the learnings and talks of the stars and their meanings to the indigenous community. The second night we went purely for an astrophotography timelapse and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great crew, reliable and excellent communication.

Great experience at Uluru by Night I really appreciated the fact I was at Uluru at Night. I really enjoyed the presentation, learnt things I didn't know. Also getting a photo taken after the presentation was an added bonus.

There are so many other tours around Uluru, but this one must have been one of the most outstanding. This is the only tour that can take you into the national park after its closure time in the dark. It's felt so privileged to be with Uluru in the dark night. All of the staff are extremely professional. You can really learn so many things about the universe. It does make you wonder! There is no drink or food provided in this tour, however, this is by no means a downside! For 3 hours you will be very focused on the night sky, the stars and the cosmos and of course stunning photos taken by professionals. In the end, you would not want to leave.

My suggestion is wearing warm clothes (they do provide blanket though, nice) and having a full dinner and not drinking too much before joining the tour, coz no toilet for 3 hrs.

Mesmerizing Astro Tour The tour was absolutely amazing! We had an awesome time stargazing and listening to the talks by Lindsay. Colin produced some of the most spectacular photographs I've ever seen! Lindsay, Haley and Colin were a great team. Would 100% recommend as a must do whilst in Uluru!!!

Uluṟu Astro Tour (Mandarin) The tour was amazing and the night sky was so beautiful. We joined the Mandarin tour and the staff was exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate in astronomy and was so enthusiastic in sharing a lot of Astro information with us. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about the night sky and the wonders of the universe.

My husband and I loved this tour. Stargazing was not something we had planned on doing, but when we met Stephen at the visitor center in Uluru and talked to him for a while, we decided to give it a try. We loved the experience! It was magical to be in the National Park at night and explore the star-filled sky in the backdrop of the sacred rock. Stephen shared his genuine passion for stargazing and we were thrilled to get personal, nighttime photos of us in front of Uluru rock. We also enjoyed looking through two telescopes aimed at various celestial objects. Highly recommend! But dress warmly!

I can't recommend this tour enough. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and eager to share what she knew with us. She had answers for all of our questions and a keen interest in the topic. (Apologies I have forgotten her name, the tour was 13/02/24)

Great mix of theory and practice with stories/facts about the moons, planets, stars, galaxies and the milky way, as well as getting to see all of these with the binoculars and then with the telescopes for a closer look.

Not to mention the view of the sky, it was incredible and next level compared to anything I've ever seen. Photo's on your phone could never do it justice.. good thing you get a professional photo included in your tour cost to capture the view.

Worth every dollar, go for it!

If someone told me that my most memorable and cherished moment of my bucket list trip to Uluru will be a stargazing tour I wouldn’t believe it but it was truly magical. From the moment I was picked up by an ultra luxury bus I had a feeling this will be special but I could not even anticipate what was coming. After a short drive we stopped at a parking lot near Uluru where the team was waiting with lanterns & guiding lights, telescopes set up, chairs for everyone and a MIND-BLOWING sky where you could see galaxies and shooting stars right above the outline of Uluru with a naked eye. Truly special! We sat down and the tour guide Ola with her suiting voice told us stories while we stared at the beautiful night sky. Then we had a chance to see Jupiter through the telescope and finally each of us got a professional picture that alone was worth every penny! The whole crew including Reina, Dan and the manager Steven were incredibly knowledgeable, nice, passionate about astrology and made the experience unforgettable. Definitely goes into my top 3 tours. Must do!

Starry starry night! Amazing opportunity to see the stars. The team were very knowledgeable and friendly. Olina was a wonderful host. It’s a wonderful experience when the team are passionate about what they do.

I feel like people in the reviews are confusing this one with the 60-minute Astro tour that you book on the Ayers Rock Resort website. This is not the same thing! This one is about two hours long, and they take you out to the bus sunset viewing area inside the park. You learn about different constellations and their significance to Aboriginal groups. You also get a cool photo taken with long exposure so you can see Uluru and the incredible night sky in the background. And you get to observe a few different objects through the telescope, like Saturn and Jupiter. It was really worth it and I had a lovely time out there. Thanks Olina for sharing your knowledge!

We recently did the tour with Joe and it was incredible! Joe was such a brilliant tour guide, and the highlight was a close up telescope view of Saturn. Highly recommend!!

Never book this tour with Ayers rock resort ! indeed better stay on your room's balcony at the hotel that will be the same . Actually you will only be taken 5 minutes behind the hotel full of light pollution next to a parking place ! we were SO disappointed. i have done this tour a few years ago with another company and that was an hour from the resort in middle of the desert honestly it was completely magical compared to this « nothing » tour... Please do not look at the pictures on the ayers rock resort website you its all a lie …

Astro Amazing! Wow! Seeing the rings of Saturn through the telescope was amazing! So clear. I also enjoyed the many cultural stories that relate to the cosmos. Egyptian, Mayan and particularly indigenous Australian as I had always wanted to learn more about these. Joseph, the main speaker, delivered a professional and astute account of the night sky. Very impressive. I would contemplate an Astronomy degree after this presentation. I won't spoil the stories by relating them here. There appears to be some outer lying drone (not the drone display) and light activity from the resort that could possibly be reduced to enhance the experience. Overall superb!

Astro Tour a good place to see stars A evening looking at the stars .
The tour meeting place is TownSq
However ourselves and another family
Arrived at Town sq. wondering are we in the right place?
A small sign to suggest we were would have been helpful.
However Joseph came and walked us a few hundred yards
to the designated viewing point . It’s on the edge of the township.
We were fortunate to have a clear starry evening. Chairs were provided
And Joseph began his narrative. He was interesting and well informed
and had a powerful laser light to direct us to the stars/planets that were visible.
We later had a chance to see some stars / planets thru the telescope.
It was interesting but had hoped to see more and there might have been more
Telescopes. We were fortunate that we were just two couples and their daughter.
Thank you Joseph for a interesting evening. ( Astro eve is about 1hr 20min)

Night under the stars Good trip out to see the stars. Weather & Moon dependant. We had quite a bright moon so lees stars visible. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides

Very irresponsible company: on today's tour (glass of wine at sunset at Uluru), a chinese was flying her drone in an area where it is forbidden (the whole Uluru park is forbidden for drone flying), and the guide did not say a word... Lets respect the rules everybody to make things easier. Other than that, experience was short (very short - arrival 18:25, departure 18:55).

The Milky Way in all it's Glory! It was amazing! To experience a night sky like this is something magical. The guide was extraordinary and we have incredible photos that they take that you get to keep.

An absolute highlight of our trip to Uluru. This experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Uluru.

The bus was on time and clean, the guide was interesting and helpful. We had a small group of about 15 so we were very lucky to have plenty of viewing and question time. We took small kids with us (4yo) and they were very accomodating opening the bus early when they fell asleep on us. The talk was interesting and pitched at the right knowledge level for us (not the kids but that's okay we knew that when booking), and the scenery very inspiring. It felt very special to be allowed in the park at night and to see the outline of Uluru against the stars.

The Milky Way wasn't positioned above Uluru's shadow like the advertising photos show which I was a bit disappointed by, but if the earth isn't in the right spot, they can't help that! The kids were also tired and grumpy so the photo was pretty poor as we weren't able to stay still to get a clear shot so it turned out blurry.

All in all, I would definitely recommend and will do it again on future visits.

Friendly people but not value for money. The bus was on time. The staff were friendly. Unfortunately, the professional photo was of poor quality. The two telescopes required re-focusing and needed greater magnification to make anything out clearly. The queues to look in the telescopes or be photographed were long and difficult for anyone with a mobility issue. We recommend that the astro tour does not go ahead on nights of the full moon as it was so bright that it was difficult to make out the stars. The talk given was simplistic and not very interesting for anyone who had any knowledge of astronomy.

Great experience. Well organised, friendly staff, good telescopes, phenomenal experience.

Thanks to the caring, passionate and knowledgeable staff Rachel, Gordon and Callum. I enjoyed the Chinese stargazing talk & stories from the photographer Callum as well.

Bad experience Be careful in the darkness, the staff didn’t perform their duty of care well. Be extremely cautious when walking in the darkness they don’t have enough staff and knowledge to protect and guide you!!!
