🌅 Scenic Sunset Spot with Limited Parking This location offers breathtaking views of the sunset from Uluṟu —definitely worth the visit for nature lovers and photographers alike. Just a heads-up: parking can be a challenge during peak season, so plan to arrive early to snag a spot and enjoy the experience stress-free.
Absolutely fantastic views. Stunning change in colour of the mountain at sunset. Recommend being there well in advance as the place could be crowded if photos are a priority.
This is a great place to view the sunset. Walk up the track and you’ll be happy you did. Get away from the hordes of bus tours service champagne and canapés. It’s a bit much and feels a little over tourism. So going up the hill you will enjoy the view with other travellers and explores who enjoy the silence and the nature.

Know before you go

  • Arrive at least 45 minutes to an hour prior to sunset to secure a good spot for parking with the best view
  • Bring flynets for flies if visiting during peak season when they can be bothersome
  • Check weather conditions beforehand; cloudy skies may hinder visibility of color changes on Uluṟu during sunset

Absolutely spectacular! I loved how the park organized the sunset spots separating buses and car. Allowing everyone to have the experience stress free! The views are amazing make sure to bring a tripod and a jacket during winter as it will get chilly as soon the sun sets.

The car park was very full towards sunset time, and the view was absolutely beautiful, I have never seen anything like it. Make sure to stay until the sun is fully down because although it gets quite cold, the beautiful colours come after the sun has set.
