Tour overview

This all-inclusive journey showcases the stark contrasts and hidden wonders of the South Australian outback. You’ll soar over the shimmering expanse of Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, the lowest point in Australia, nestled 15 metres below sea level. Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre is the largest salt lake on the continent and has a density twice that of the Dead Sea. Witness the mesmerizing colors of the Painted Hills and the intricate braided channels of Goyder Lagoon. Back on the ground, traverse the historic Oodnadatta Track, following the path of the Old Ghan railway line to iconic remote locales. Explore the Ikara-Flinders Ranges, where you will spend time within the prehistoric walls of Wilpena Pound. Guided walks through river red gums and visits to ancient pastoral settlements provide a window into both the region's colonial history and its profound Indigenous significance. This tour perfectly balances raw outback adventure with refined hospitality.
