Amazing trip to such iconic Australian outback destinations - Lake Eyre, Birdsville, Broken Hill, Mungo and Arkaroola National Parks - and more. Special thanks to our extraordinary pilot Jonathon for his explanations, and his knowledge.

Our journey included regional centres, service townships, cattle stations and the vast wet and dry landscapes connecting them. The longest flights were about 2 1/2hrs daily with landings for lunch and fuel. Tours were organised for stops en-route and at our destination. On landing, our small group met local guides and residents who shared a few moments of their busy lives telling us their stories and sharing their hospitality. We came away with a genuine experience of some of the isolated places in Queensland. Accommodation was always comfortable, the food was good and plentiful and there were opportunities to stretch the legs. Our companions were memorable. Our pilot, Kenton, was skilled, patient and highly organised as he both flew the plane and coordinated the daily ground arrangements. Fortunately he had a sense of humour because our diverse group was obviously out for a good time. The laughs started on the tarmac in Sydney and continued until we touched down 13 days later. Such good fun. What a treat!

Six night tour of Flinders, King and Kangaroo Islands was a delight. Tours of all the top attractions on each island with luxury accommodation and gourmet meals. Best way to holiday with guides doing all the driving and flying.

Just finished the two day trip to Lake Eyre. Loved it. Our country is wide and vast and the opportunity to see it from the sky was a great idea. Australian Air Safaris were excellent, pilot was great, aircraft clean and comfortable. Food was tasty and fresh. Honestly a great experience
