Eco-trail anticipated to elevate Central Australia tourism experience

Central Australia’s newest eco-trail - the 'Uluru-Kata Tjuta Signature Walk' - is anticipated to redefine outback adventure, offering a hiking experience along a 54km trail inside the World Heritage Listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.

The Uluru-Kata Tjuta Signature Walk, set to launch the 2026 walking season, promises guests an unforgettable five days and four nights of outback indulgence.

The project is being led by the award-winning Australian Walking Company, renowned for its premium guided walks through some of Australia’s most iconic landscapes.

Each day will end with refreshments, a meal under the stars, and a good night’s sleep in environmentally sustainable accommodation.

NT Minister for Lands, Planning and Environment Joshua Burgoyne, said a walking experience of this calibre will open the door to greater opportunities for Central Australia.

Minister Burgoyne noted “by attracting visitors from across the country and beyond, we’re putting Central Australia firmly on the map as a destination for immersive, high-quality eco-tourism.

“It will encourage longer stays, greater visitor spend, and deeper engagement with our region, which creates flow on benefits for local businesses, operators, and communities.

“We are investing not just in tourism, but in jobs, regional growth, and the future of the Territory.

“Already, the project has secured more than 400 pre-bookings for the 2026 season.”

Chief Executive Tourism Central Australia, Danial Rochford added "This project is going to be a world-renowned experience right here in Central Australia, and it will see a massive boost to our visitor economy."
