Reviews from our past adventurers

As an older woman, solo traveller, the small group tour was a hoot! Wonderful host and experiences. Tom picked me up from my house and I joined a fun and interesting group, on his mighty mini bus! We covered a heap of kilometers and saw awe inspiring sites, including Red Gum flanked streams and gorges, in ancient Wilpena Pound; the rusted, rolling hills and plateaus of Northern South Australia; patterned salt pans and shimmering waters of Lake Eyre; bright carpets of roadside wild flowers, and sentinel bearded dragons, sunning themselves. We stayed in plush resort accommodation, through to dodgey dongas! In the outback, we found it easy to roll with whatever unfolded and by keeping a sense of humour. We ate at some out of the way and quirky spots, feasting on quandong tarts, fine wines, steak, gourmet pizza & the biggest Marree-style breakfast! As a first time soloist, I highly recommend Tom and his tours. I felt safe, included and met the best people. I’m ready for my next adventure!

We did the 4 Day Lake Eyre Tour with Tom and found him very knowledgeable and enjoyed listening to his experiences in the outback. It was a pleasure travelling with Tom and the lovely group of 5 other travellers. We would highly recommend any of Tom’s tours.

We done the four day tour, we had the best time from the time Tom picked us up till the time we finished our tour. We had so many laughs with Tom and he was so informative with his information. Everything was well planned, everyone got on so well. Accommodation and meals were great. We would highly recommend anyone to do this tour. Lake Eyre fight was amazing, so come on people, book it in.

I did a 4 day trip with Tom of Lake Eyre tours. Just fantastic. Well organised, knew the countryside, the people and had found some great not so well known places for us to visit. Small group, very relaxed and fun. I highly recommend it.

So pleased I had the opportunity to do Tom’s 4 day tour. Such beautiful and interesting country. Having grown up on the land Tom is very knowledgeable and knows the history. He took us to out of the way places, and would stop for us to look at birds, animals and wildflowers. Would highly recommend .

We were very fortunate to experience a wonderful 4 day Lake Eyre tour with Tom Noonan. Tom’s relaxed and friendly manner quickly set the tone for the 4 days. His local knowledge and passion for the area greatly enhanced our enjoyment of the tour. Tom worked hard to provide us with a range of interesting experiences. We meet some colourful characters, visited places of historical interest, saw amazing landscapes and spotted unexpected wildlife! Our flight over Lake Eyre was spectacular!!
I highly recommend this tour. Thanks Tom.

So many favorite parts to my trip with Tom on Lake Eyre Tours that I cannot single out one only. Been home for two weeks and still feeling the come down from the trip it was so good. The crew we had on board were fantastic and along with Tom’s knowledge and wonderful personality you could not go wrong with this tour.
I would highly recommend it.

Just returned from Tom Noonan’s 4 day Lake Eyre tour. What a fabulous experience to see the many colours of the land, the constant changing terraine of the country, the never ending ‘surprises’ Tom had in store for his charges, kept us all in awe. We traveled as a small group, 9 people making it a friendly, personel tour. Tom made everyone feel very comfortable with his easy going manner. Flying over Lake Eyre, seeing Flinders Rangers and Wilpena Pound were an amazing experience the vastness was unbelievable as was the age of the land. Thanks Tom for your time and your knowledge. 👏👏

I had the absolute pleasure of joining Tom and 8 other adventurers for the 4 Day trip to Lake Eyre in July. What an experience! Tom has a passion for this part of the country and it makes for an unforgettable experience. His ‘surprises’ are amazing and this is a trip where you get a lot more than you expected. Highly recommended!

We went to see Lake Eyre in flood, and we saw so much more. An air crossing of the Warburton River shows how fast the river is moving towards Lake Eyre. The Channel Country is best seen by air. Each meal was in a different iconic location. Make sure your camera battery is fully charged and you have plenty of memory. It wasn’t only the sights. The history, people and stories make this a unique trip. We been to many amazing places across the world and this trip compares most favourably.

Congratulations Tom, you conduct a marvellous touring company with no expense spared. This adventure needs to be crossed off everyone’s bucket list - make sure you contact Tom.

I never thought that I would enjoy the outback not being a camping type person but this was one of the most amazing insights into Outback South Australia ever. Fantastic every step of the way, fantastic people everywhere we went.... exciting exhilarating.... highly recommended for locals as well as overseas visitors.
