The food was good but the astronomer after dinner was 1st class! You really should try it but wear flat shoes.

A fantastic evening, we were lucky to see sunset over Uluru Ayers Rock and the Olgas. Great food, helpful staff, a fine clear night under billions of stars. Magical!!

This was probably the most fun activity we participated in during our 2 week visit to Australia. The setting was magnificent and the night sky with its unbelievable myriad of stars was magical. No one should miss this experience.

This was the highlight of our trip to the Outback. We enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting the Outback. If you go in the winter, at the end of August, take a sweater with you because it gets chilly. Also try and sit next to the heat lamps.

A totally magical experience, the astronomer was absolutely first class and made this excellent evening which I will never forget. Highly recommended!

Sounds of Silence lived up to its reputation. We went on this excursion mid-August and the weather at night, though nippy, was as clear as anyone could hope to get. The astronomer pointed out the Southern Cross and every other viewable constellation in the southern hemisphere. What a treat! Food was plentiful, and the staff was extremely friendly. We were the only Americans: my husband, 13-year-old son, and myself, and the Australians seated with us were SO kind and friendly, especially to our son. It will be a memory none of us will ever forget. I highly recommend this excursion. Dress warmly if you're going during the Australian winter.

The Uluru night time observatory star gazing was out of this world, literally fantastic. The sunrise and aboriginal tour had mind blowing sights, culture, and people. The Sounds of Silence Tour was amazing, but you really have to see and listen for yourself.

This was a fantastic night spent viewing the sunset over Uluru, gazing at the stars, and enjoying some excellent food. It was well worth the money: an amazing experience.

We didn't know quite what to expect, and the evening turned out to be even better than we anticipated. After enjoying a superb sunset on Uluru, we moved to the restaurant site, which, being set in the desert, was a little surreal. The whole event was excellent; the food was very good indeed considering the circumstances, and the didgeridoo player was extremely skilled and had many an interesting and amusing tale to tell. Finally, the astronomer, who was a real entertainer as well as very informative, continued to keep us entertained even when the clouds rolled in towards the end of the evening. The tables of eight offered the opportunity to learn about other people's experiences, and although the night became quite cool, the heaters and the log fire provided ample warmth. The staff were welcoming and efficient, and even the chef had a good line in patter. All in all, a truly memorable evening. I would recommend it.

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.
