Upcoming Tours

This year will be a rare opportunity to see the major watercourses and floodplains of the Lake Eyre Basin following the phenomenal floods. By July  we will see the lake with a considerable amount of water and adding to the spectacle will be the greening of the Channel Country as it springs to flourishing life.

Flying in your private chartered Cessna Caravan aircraft with a maximum of  just 7 guests, start your adventure from Shellharbour (Wollongong). Each day you’ll be enthralled with a bird’s eye perspective of the true Outback. We fly  via the quintessential outback towns of Eulo and Thargomindah and land at the tiny township of Innamincka near the infamous site of the Burke and Will’s saga beside Cooper Creek.

The spectacle of the Queensland Channel Country is best appreciated from your window seat – each guest has their own window – as we fly to Birdsville for overnight. Experience the sunset from Big Red – one of the giant red dunes in the Simpson Desert. Our aerial tour then  takes us south-west from Birdsville following the Diamantina River and the Warburton to Lake Eyre.

The ancient, rugged and majestic Flinders Ranges feature a 2 night stay and a whole day of special touring from our comfortable base at Arkaroola.

Leaving Arkaroola we fly over Lake Frome, Broken Hill, Menindee Lakes to Balranald  where we have an exclusive tour of  historic Lake Yanga homestead and see some special places along the Murrumbidgee River with our local guide. All meals and touring included.

A tour of the islands of the Indian Ocean.

Ever wondered what there is to see, what life is like on some of the most remote and exotic islands?

Wonder no more when you join us for this extraordinary adventure to some of the most remote and little known places on Earth.

Starting our island hopping in the tropical powerhouse of Mauritius with its 1 million plus population, the contrast is marked when we land in Reunion – the island is an overseas territory of France. Reunion’s majestic and stunning landscape and its varied history are revealed during our visit. Our next island is Mayotte, also a territory of France and geographically a part of the Comoros islands.

Our journey includes Moroni the capital of the country of the Republic of the Comoros Islands and from there we visit the islands of Grand Terre and Moheli to discover their different lifestyles and culture.

No exploration of the Indian Ocean would be complete without visiting Madagascar, the world’s 5th largest island and a treasure trove of unique plants and animals including the lemur species found nowhere else.

Our finale is the Seychelles; a nation of many islands many of which are uninhabited. We visit both Praslin and Mahé islands.

30 days of unique adventure. Maximum 12 guests.
