Honeymoon hotspots like Uluru-Kata Tjuta and Kakadu offer breathtaking natural beauty as well as indigenous culture – perfect for creating memories to last a lifetime!
Uluru
Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock) is one of Australia’s most iconic natural wonders. A vast sandstone monolith, it towers five miles from the desert floor in Northern Territory’s “Red Centre.”
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in Australia holds this UNESCO World Heritage Site sacred for indigenous Anangu people. These people believe their ancestors still reside on this magnificent landscape where creation stories are passed along via wind currents.
This unique sandstone formation consists of coarse-grained arkose rock. With its stunning scenery and colorful sunrise/sunset views, its otherworldliness attracts visitors from across the world.
For the full experience of Uluru, take a guided tour. Enjoy motorbike, segway or camel rides to get close and personal with this remarkable formation; or enjoy aerial viewing of this spectacle from above on a scenic flight! To fully experience Uluru as nature intended it, bring repellant as well as After Bite Advanced Formula, to alleviate itchy bug bites.

Kakadu National Park offers visitors an ideal experience from November to April, when there are fewer tourists and its waterfalls and wildlife can be more easily observed. However, activities like Yellow Water Billabong cruise near Cooinda operate all year round and should still be considered worthwhile experiences.
