A Night at the Field of Light by Helicopter

Take a bird's-eye-view of Uluru, Kata Tjuta and the vast desert landscape that surrounds it. It is from this new perspective that you will fully appreciate the immense size and presence of these monolithic icons.

After a half hour aerial tour you will land near the Field of Light in its remote desert setting, ascending the dune top viewing platform. With Uluru as the backdrop, guests enjoy canapés and chilled sparkling wine to the sounds of a didgeridoo as the sun slowly sets.

As darkness gradually falls and the coloured lights of the 50,000 glass spheres come to life, guests enjoy a local Indigenous performance, welcoming them to this unique country before being invited to join their fellow travellers at their dinner table for a special three-course bush tucker inspired buffet menu.

A knowledgeable guide will provide insights and background to the monumental installation and guests are invited to immerse themselves and walk through the Field of Light. After dinner guests are welcomed back at the dune viewing area to enjoy a sweet treat, hot chocolate or port whilst viewing the illuminated installation in the darkness.
