A Guide to Our Ultimate Collection
For many guests, one journey with Australian Air Safaris is only the beginning. Our Ultimate Collection brings together our most exceptional itineraries: 11 to 16-day small-group air expeditions that venture further, stay longer and reveal Australia’s wildest corners in seamless comfort. These all-inclusive adventures invite travellers to explore with ease - from rugged outback ranges to tropical islands and coastal wonders - with luxurious stays, expert hosts and the convenience of travelling between regions that would take weeks to reach by road. Each itinerary stands as a pinnacle experience: immersive, premium and utterly unforgettable.
Trace the northernmost edge of Australia on a grand journey from the Daintree to the Torres Strait. Stay on remote island lodges, explore ancient rock art, and stand at the continent’s tip. This is a journey of contrasts - rainforest, reef and red dirt - celebrating Australia’s far-flung beauty at its most vivid.
A shorter but equally spectacular route through Queensland’s frontier north. Discover the outback spirit of Birdsville and Longreach, cruise Gulf sunsets, and touch the northern tip at Cape York. A perfect balance of wilderness, history and character, brought to life by expert local storytelling. Floods also bring life. Fish arrive with the flows, as do millions of birds, some from as far afield as Russia, China and Antarctica. Australian pelicans, banded stilts, red-necked avocets, gull-billed terns and black swans descend on this outback oasis in some seriously staggering numbers. Breeding colonies spring up around waterholes, and vegetation bursts into life across the floodplains. For twitchers, it’s a genuine spectacle!
From reef to rainforest and the red centre, this journey showcases Australia’s most remarkable wildlife. Encounter manta rays, cassowaries, crocodiles, whale sharks and wallabies across a wild range of habitats, guided by local experts who know every call, ripple and track.
A celebration of the south’s rich biodiversity - from Gippsland’s wetlands to Cradle Mountain, Kangaroo Island and the Eyre Peninsula. Swim with dolphins, spot koalas and sea lions, and share fine food and wine in wild places. A captivating journey blending nature, flavour and relaxation.
The rugged northwest in all its splendour - Kings Canyon, Purnululu, Ningaloo Reef and Karijini. Swim under waterfalls, meet pearl farmers at Cygnet Bay and see the colours shift from vivid ochre cliffs to clear turquoise seas. Remote landscapes, rich stories and luxe stays make it unforgettable.
Fly the length of the Savannah Way from Queensland to Western Australia, discovering volcanic lava tubes, ancient gorges and wild coastal wonders along the way. From Katherine’s waterways to El Questro and the Horizontal Falls, it’s an adventure of endless horizons and fascinating contrasts.
A sweeping exploration of Australia’s inland - from Mount Isa and Arnhem Land to Uluru and the Flinders Ranges. Cruise billabongs, visit sacred rock art sites, and stay in luxury at Finniss River Lodge and Cygnet Bay. Every stop reveals the spirit, scale and soul of the true outback.
From Western Australia’s dazzling wildflower displays to South Australia’s rolling vineyards, this spring journey celebrates nature at its finest. Wander through vibrant blooms, towering forests and coastal wilderness before savouring the Clare Valley’s wine, wildlife and gourmet delights.
