Lake Eyre Tours

The monumental floods across central and western Queensland have surged through the Diamantina and Cooper catchments, feeding the vast heart of the Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre Basin. As a result, the lake is set to reach its highest water levels in more than 15 years, creating a rare experience from above that is wild, fleeting, and utterly Australian.

The outback is a constantly shifting landscape, with rare and spectacular levels of greenery and wildflowers expected this year. Our air tours allow you to experience this phenomenon from the comfort of a private plane’s window seat. There’s never been a better time to go.

Australian Air Safaris tours are all-inclusive, meaning our team books all the accommodation, meals, activities and transfers for you. Any stay or dining experience will be the highest standard available in that area. Private air travel also comes with a range of conveniences and comforts before and after your plane lifts off, such as skipping the hassle of checking bags, security queues and a gate.
