The only picnic experience at Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park
At Desert Romance Picnics, we offer sunrise, sunset, morning tea, and proposal picnics. We cater for a maximum of four people to keep picnics detailed and intimate. All our picnics are in Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park, and we are tour guide accredited.
Picnic locations have been specifically chosen to give you the best uninterrupted view of Uluru away from the crowds, ensuring a more private experience. For birthdays, anniversaries, or any life event you would like to celebrate, we will do our best to personalise and accommodate.
Looking for a place for the ultimate romantic proposal? We take care of the red carpet, gold candelabras, scattered tea lights, champagne and of course the perfect location with an Uluru sunset in the background.
Our service includes set up, pack down, and clean up, so all guests have to do is turn up and relax in a perfectly styled picnic complete with cushions, throws, rugs, tea lights, and tableware. Your picnic basket includes a selection of Australian artisan food and beverage. Where possible, we choose Indigenous-made and owned products.
Our Packages
Uluru Sunrise Picnic
Sunrises, in their splendid hues of pink, orange, and gold, symbolising new beginnings and the promise of a new day. This shared experience is in clear view of Uluru, world heritage listed for its natural beauty, encourages us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the present moment. Your picnic basket consists of muesli, yoghurt, fruit, croissants, spreads and juice. Our location is quiet and away from the crowds.
Morning Tea
You and me and a cup of tea!
Guests are seated in the shade of majestic Bloodwood trees of Kantju Gorge. This location is up close to Uluru and is a favourite place for locals to visit. The tranquil ambiance is further enhanced by the gentle sounds of native birds, adding an authentic touch to the experience. A perfect place for a cuppa.
