Prince William's parents Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales, climbed Uluru in 1983 during their tour of Central Australia.
William and Catherine took part in a guided walk around the huge red rock after being given a welcome which included a traditional Indigenous dance performance on Tuesday, the ABC reports.
Traditional land owner Daisy Walkabout, who welcomed his parents three decades ago, was a part of the welcoming this afternoon.
"We're happy to meet them, like we were happy to meet (Charles and Diana) in the past," she said.
"They've travelled a lot and now they will come to see this country, and it will be good to know they have seen Uluru, which is so hugely significant not just for a small group of people but a whole range of people that are related and connected to this place."
The Duke and Duchess were given a traditional hunting spear as they arrived to present certificates to graduates of the National Indigenous Training Centre at Yulara.
They also received gum nut bracelets and a camel's hair beanie for their eight-month-old, Prince George.
The couple, who are taking part in this leg of the royal visit without George, earlier attended a reception hosted by Northern Territory Chief Minister Adam Giles.
After the guided walk, Catherine and William would camp in luxury before leaving for Adelaide on Wednesday.
