3-Day Fly Tour

For those who are short on time but don’t want to miss a moment of the action. With 4 passengers per departure, you’ll travel in a small, personal group where everyone is guaranteed a window seat. From the air you’ll take in sweeping views of Lake Eyre, while on the ground you’ll touch down in remote towns that capture the spirit of the outback. 

Departures are from Adelaide Airport on Monday morning. $4,950 per person

Day One

Board your early 7:00am flight from Adelaide to Olympic Dam. On arrival at approximately 8.00am, you’ll have a short break to stretch your legs before boarding your plane that will be waiting for you on the tarmac.  Departing Olympic Dam, you’ll fly up towards Lake Eyre, taking in views over the mysterious Marree Man, over Lake Eyre, then following the Warburton River, before it spreads out into the spectacular Goyders Lagoon, and onto Birdsville for lunch and a look around town. Back in the plane, where you may see pelicans galore over the Coongie Lakes, then landing at Innamincka for a well deserved rest at your first night accommodation.

Day Two

Innamincka to Coober Pedy

You’ll wake up to an outback sunrise and a hearty breakfast in Innamincka. We’ll board our Plane for a short flight out to The Famous “Dig Tree”, where we land and learn of the ill fate of Burke and Wills.

** Please note, the airstrip may still underwater at the Dig Tree**

We then fly along the flooded Cooper’s Creek, over the Punt, which when in operation gets cars from one side of the Birsdville Track to the other side. Back over Lake Eyre, for one last look, then land at William Creek for Lunch.

In the afternoon, fly over to see the beautiful desert colours of the Painted Hills and land in Coober Pedy where you’ll be picked up and taken to your accommodation.

Day Three

Coober Pedy, to Adelaide

An early start with a drive out to the amazing Breakaways where all the big films were make, eg Mad Max and Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Then back into Coober Pedy for a unique breakfast before a Umoona mine tour, where you see how it is all done.

Then you explore the underground world of Coober Pedy, The underground Catholic Church, and then you are driven to the airport, where you will depart on your two hour flight at 1:00pm back to Adelaide.
