Cape York Air Safari

Tour Duration:
13 Days

Cape York is Australia's final frontier — remote, rugged and irresistibly wild.

This extraordinary 13-day air safari takes you to the very tip of the continent and deep into the heart of the outback. Traverse Queensland’s vast inland, the untouched Gulf of Carpentaria, the tropical Torres Strait Islands and the awe-inspiring Great Barrier Reef. Along the way, encounter iconic landscapes, vibrant characters, unique wildlife and unforgettable moments both in the air and on the ground. For every Australian, this is the adventure of a lifetime.

Please note: This tour requires a higher level of fitness than some of our other itineraries. To reach the Tip, you’ll need to walk up to 500 metres over uneven ground. If you’re unsure whether this is manageable for you, we encourage you to contact us to discuss.

a Top End holiday of a lifetime
"My son and I were fortunate to join pilot Keith and 2 other couples on a Top End holiday of a lifetime. There is simply no other way to experience so many remote sights and experiences in a short period of time. We were greeted by guides and treated to a diverse range of experiences – bush walks, swimming in pristine water holes, river and wetland cruises, helicopter ride, dining in the desert, etc. The flight was part of the experience, rather than an unavoidable hassle when travelling on large planes – no long delays, no check-in queues, etc!"
