Sounds of Silence Dinner | Sounds of Silence Ayers Rock

Dine under a million stars at Ayers Rock and experience the silence of the night desert in a unique "restaurant". Well before dusk, travel a short distance from the Ayers Rock resort to a private dining setting in the middle of the Australian desert.

Sip on a glass of champagne with the sound of a lone didgeridoo filling the air as the sun slowly sets over the Olgas (Kata Tjuta) and Ayers Rock (Uluru) . Enjoy the wonderful canapes served with pre-dinner drinks in the desert wilderness.

It is a contrast that will live with you for a long time and it is an dining experience that you will never forget.

After watching Ayers Rock slowly change colour as the sun sets, you then move to the dining area hidden by the desert flora where the tables are set out as in a quality restaurant. The only difference is that these tables are under the stars in the desert!

Dine on a gourmet BBQ of Australian delicacies and then sit back and take in the mystery of the desert at night as an astronomer takes you on a tour of the clear Southern night skies.
