from CA$5815/person twin share
This exclusive and private charter tour gives you access to a vast area of South Australia. Two areas that epitomize the outback Australia of the movies is Coober Pedy – the opal mining town built underground, and the Flinders Ranges, with the majestic natural amphitheatre of Wilpena Pound. Combine that with tastings in the Clare Valley and wildlife spotting in Kangaroo Island and you have the ultimate South Australia Vacation.
With private charter flights, exclusive transfers and experienced guide, you will truly get a sense of the unique and diverse landscapes of South Australia. Travel to Kangaroo Island with your guide to seek out wildlife in the wild. Your guide will provide an introduction to island life, and you’ll discover Australia’s own ‘Galapagos’, with unique wildlife and a pristine habitat of bush, beach, and farming land. You’ll learn the history of the land and the diversity of the farming industry, as well as meet kangaroos, koalas, seals and rare birds. The scenery is unforgettable. From the gourmet lunches served with local wines in outstanding bush locations, to freshly prepared morning teas, and gourmet dinners, this will be a true highlight of your vacation. Return to Adelaide for your journey to Wilpena in the stunning Flinders Ranges. Travel by 4WD and lunch at a serene winery in the Clare Valley before arriving late afternoon in the Wilpena area for a walk around the magnificent red gums. Experience 4WD touring, wildlife watching and stories of the geology of this ancient land. Amid the vibrant colors of the 800 million year old quartzite and limestone outcrop that is the Flinders Ranges, lies the Wilpena Pound, a natural amphitheatre that is 10 ½ miles long and just over 4 miles wide. Wilpena Pound Resort is the perfect base for exploring this region. The Flinders Ranges National Park encompasses some of the most spectacular scenery in South Australia. The Park is world-renowned for its geological history and includes impressive fossil remains. Aboriginal people have lived in the Flinders Ranges for tens of thousands of years. Fly to historic Coober Pedy the next day by private charter aircraft. Enjoy a unique stay in the underground hotel, a desert cave town tour, and a breathtaking journey into the arid surrounds of Kupa Pita.
