This is an exciting 4-day small group tour from Adelaide to Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre and the famous South Australian Flinders Ranges. It includes a six-hour scenic flight (with a landing and stop for lunch) over Lake Eyre and the Ranges.
Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, located 700km north of Adelaide, is the largest salt lake in the Southern Hemisphere — so large that it crosses the borders of three states. It is the lowest natural point in Australia (15m below sea level), and is also, on the rare occasions that it fills, the largest lake in Australia.
See the lake as most people never do on our Lake Eyre tour — come with us on a small group safari and get a close-up look at this marvel of nature. This is the best Lake Eyre experience from Adelaide!
The views of Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre are equally spectacular when in flood with surrounding wildflowers and birds or in drought with it’s brilliant white crust and desert wildlife.
It can give you a real sense of isolation standing on the dry lake edge with nothing as far as the eye can see, but when the rains come, the lake comes to life with thousands of birds. Away from the lake, the National Park features red sand dunes and mesas, stone-strewn tablelands and salty claypans.
Get a real sense of the outback spirit — make this awe-inspiring journey in the comfort of a modern 4WD or all-terrain vehicle. Follow in the footsteps of famous explorer John McDouall Stuart and the old Ghan Railway. See the sights of the Oodnadatta Track from the air. There’s nothing like heading bush and experiencing some of the harshest country in Australia.
Complete with this Lake Eyre scenic flight, you will have a once in a lifetime experience.
