Explore Australia on a Flying Safari

Add to My List Check Off

Australia is a vast island nation, much of which is uninhabited and lacking infrastructure, all the while harboring breathtaking landmarks and wild territory beckoning for exploration. A Flying Safari allows visitors to the Australian continent the ability to cover far more territory and have a broader range of experiences than otherwise possible using land based transportation. Additionally, the thrill of flying at relatively low altitudes in light aircraft over the rugged, pristine and breathtaking countryside allows a perspective that can only be gained from above. The comfort of moving from location to location in the seat of a chartered aircraft beats riding on the back of a camel or in a 4 wheel drive vehicle in the minds and on the backs of many tourists. Watching thundering herds of Water Buffalo and Kangaroos from overhead along with other wildlife like Crocodiles and Emus while gazing upon cascading waterfalls and gigantic rock formations with a bird’s eye view is an experience unmatched by land based touring. Safari itineraries typically range from single day excursions to adventures lasting 2 weeks (or possibly longer if schedules allow). The shorter duration safaris focus on a particular location close to large cities such as the Blue Mountains outside Sydney, The Hunter Valley Wine Region, Coastal Tours or visits to working Cattle Ranches. The goal for the longer itineraries is to visit diverse destinations each day providing the broadest range of experiences possible. Iconic Uluru (Ayres Rock), the Simpson Desert, Lake Eyre, the underground mines of Coober Pedy, Alice Springs and the unspoiled Kimberly region of Western Australia are frequent destinations of the tour operators. Chartered aircraft transporting participants in comfort are often accompanied by self-piloted planes on a “tag along” basis where the tour operators arrange all the on-ground details and allow those that are licensed and trained to accompany the charter group in their own or a rented craft. Some operators utilize Helicopters to whisk their customers from location to location providing the added flexibility that only a chopper can provide. Trips can include such diverse itineraries as tours of the Great Barrier Reef, excursions to Australia Zoo, visits to opal mines, winery tours and tasting, stays in an underground hotels or a full range of alternative adventures including participation in a Crocodile Harvest complete with licenses to take giant Salt Water Crocs as trophies and Wild Boar and Buffalo Hunting. Your dream to discover the less inhabited parts of Australia may be best realized by making plans to Explore Australia on a Flying Safari. Consider this unique and exciting alternative adventure that allows maximum exposure to the Land Down Under, especially for those on a tight schedule.
