It’s one of the best ways to get a real sense of place and the scenery is spectacular. An outback air safari provides an all encompassing view of the topology of the ranges, particularly Wilpena Pound, and is an easy way to experience the massive salt pans of Lake Torrens to the west of the ranges. Whether it’s a heli tour of Wilpena Pound or a day trip in small aircraft flight to Lake Eyre, this opportunity is not to be missed.
Enjoy this 6-hour experience with 4 hours flying, taking in Leigh Creek, Lake Eyre South and North, Andamooka and Lake Torrens with a stop at remote William Creek Pub (voted #2 outback pub) for a lunch and a beer.
2-5 guests – $1,470 per person
NB: This experience is only recommended on a stay of three or more nights at Arkaba.
