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.

"Thank you Australian Air Safaris, especially Jarrod, for doing all the bookings, including accommodation, restaurants and all local tours, for our Bespoke Trip, with our own itinerary. From Flinders Ranges to Opera in the Outback and many more new locations. As usual, you did an amazing job. Was especially enjoyable in the comfortable Cessna Grand Caravan, flown by our very experienced pilot Tom, with his calmness, organisation and friendliness throughout. Congratulations A.A.S. for another great vacation. A unique Australian Company I can recommend to anyone wanting a special holiday."
