Airtours are by far the best way to apreciate this wide brown land of ours. We offer four "standard" tours for groups of up to four people, ranging from a twenty minute local flight to a three overnight all inclusive tour. Extended tours operate between April and September, and are not available during the hotter months. All tours depart from and return to Charleville Airport.
These tours are generally only available after a serious rain event causing the Diamantina River and Cooper Creek to flow sufficiently to cause flooding in the Channel Country and overflow into Lake Eyre. The Tours are two overnight/two and a half day duration, with twin-share accommodation at Birdsville and Innamincka. Lunch on day two is at William Creek on the Old Ghan train line in outback South Australia.
Maximum flight time per segment is two and a half hours, and ground tours are included at Birdsville and Innamincka. We alo offer a Coober Pedy add-on, with an extra night at Coober Pedy in an underground motel, and includes a "Breakaways"ground tour.
