ULURU HELICOPTER FLIGHTS

Uluru is the world’s largest single rock monolith that is located practically in the centre of Australia. Uluru stands at 348 metres above ground and is made from arkose – a course grained sandstone rich in mineral feldspar. The monolith extends to a massive 6 kilometres below ground and has a total circumference of 9.6 kilometres. Although we don’t know exactly, Uluru and Kata Tjuta were believed to have formed over 550,000 million years ago, making it one of the world’s oldest natural landmarks.

If you ask us, any time is a good time for an Uluru helicopter flight! In all seriousness, the best time to visit Uluru is from May until the end of September each year. This is the dry season so it is highly unlikely that your view will be affected by rainy weather and the cooler temperatures are much more comfortable to experience. As for the time of day, it doesn’t matter when you choose to fly, Uluru is guaranteed to take your breath away. We offer a range of Uluru helicopter flights taking off from 8:30am until sunset, ensuring you can schedule your helicopter experience for whenever suits you best during the day. If you’re wanting to book our Uluru Sunset Experience, we do recommend booking at least two weeks in advance for the best chance at securing your preferred date and time as there are limited availabilities for this experience daily.

At Professional Helicopter Services our top priority is providing an exceptional experience at a budget-friendly cost. We don’t want anyone to have to miss out on an Uluru helicopter experience due to budget restrictions. Our large variety of Uluru helicopter flights ensures that you’ll be able to find a suitable flight for your budget. Whether you’re interested in an Uluru helicopter flight only or want to see other amazing landmarks such as Kata Tjuta, Lake Amadeus, or Kings Canyon, you will find the perfect helicopter flight for your holiday.

You are not permitted to climb Uluru. In previous years you were able to climb Uluru but that was permanently stopped in October of 2019. The primary reason to close the Uluru rock climb was due to the spiritual significance of the site that was being disturbed due to climbers. Although respecting Indigenous culture was the most important reason for closing the Uluru climb, by closing the climb it also helps minimise environmental issues such as erosion along with safety concerns of the climb.
