If you are near to Uluru and you do not go to this you don't deserve to travel! This is a social, culinary and educational tour de force. It is understated and after a slow start builds to a truly amazing experience. 'Highly recommended' simply doesn't convey my enthusiasm well enough.

The Sounds of Silence dinner was the highlight of our Ayers Rock experience. Don't visit Ayers Rock without going to this restaurant!

Even if you are in Uluru for only one night, do not miss this! It was one of the best dining experiences. The food was not too bad but you may need to skip dessert, since by that time, the bugs are all over it. But don't do it for the food! Do it for the romantic setting, the chance to meet other travelers, and the astronomical presentation. And of course, it provides another photo opportunity of Ayers Rock and the Olgas at the best time of the day - sunset. Yes, it is kind of pricey especially for a meal that is, in all reality, forgettable. But everything in Uluru is pricey, so why not and the beer, wine, and champagne are unlimited so depending on how much you drink it practically pays for itself.

This was a truly unique and thoroughly enjoyable experience; combining an interesting and diverse contribution of presentations which compliment rather than detract from the extraordinary atmosphere and aura felt by the close proximity of Uluru and neighbouring Kata Tjuta.

This was a fantastic experience. We had good food and drinks served by the young, enthusiastic and friendly staff in an amazing part of the world, with Uluru in front of us and the Olgas behind. Our table was made up of Australians, an English couple who live in USA, Americans, and Scottish - an interesting mix. A person with the biggest flashlight I've ever seen gave us a tour of the stars; her enthusiasm has rubbed off on me, and I've been admiring the night sky ever since.

This was the best trip we did on our vacation. It was a great value for the money, and I highly recommend paying for the 36 minute flight. The informative pilot and stunning views gave us a real feel for the expanse of the Red Centre and the enormity of Ayers Rock and The Olgas.

This was our first trip to Uluru and the helicopter flight was a surprise for my husband. The ride was truly amazing, to see the rock from that vantage point was truly awesome! Our pilot was such a nice guy and very knowledgeable about the area which provided an added bonus. I only wish I would have purchased the 30 minute flight instead of the 15 minute - we could have stayed up there all day!

Good view Ayers Rock with nice nibbles. My husband can't eat gluten and it was a shame no one knew if the crisps etc contained gluten. The meal was lovely and dietry requirements taken care of although no pudding for him !
The star gazing was amazing, we couldn't believe how many stars we could see and understood why the Milky way got its name.

Excellent with great views of Ayers Rock unfortunately not the greatest sunset due to heavy cloud cover, still well worth doing.

We enjoyed the aerial tour of Uluru. The view was amazing. I would have given this 5 stars except the windows in the rear seats had scratches that caused blurred areas in the video and still photos. It would have been nice if one of us was offferred a choice of sitting in the front. We shared the tour with a relatively new employee from the resort who was given the front passenger seat.

This is a very pricey events so know that the foods is average and go only for sunset shots far from the rock and a good look at the stars of the southern sky. Still, I would not go to Uluru and not do this dinner. Dress for the weather, in layers, not like you see in the ads.

This is another one of those must do type tours at Uluru. The food was absolutly delicious, the information about the stars was interesting. The chance to dine under the stars at the base of Uluru was fabulous and we got to meet a lot of other tourists that were enjoying the experience along with us.

Excellent food and entertainment, although the experience is a bit rushed. I would have wished that the dining site be a little closer to Ayers Rock to appreciate it better.

An enjoyable evening! Ayers Rock not as red in sunset as we expected. Memorable view of Jupiter and four moons through a telescope.
