A PRIVATELY CHARTERED AIR CRUISE SHOWCASING AUSTRALIA’S SOUTHERN COAST AND OUTBACK INTERIOR

BOOK NOW & SAVE UP TO $350pp! 

FROM PRISTINE SOUTHERN COASTLINES TO THE RARE, FLOOD-FILLED WONDER OF KATI THANDA–LAKE EYRE, WITNESS THE ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION TRANSFORMATION OF AUSTRALIA’S ICONIC OUTBACK.

It’s official — 2026 will bring one of Australia’s rarest natural spectacles.

Following record-breaking floods across Outback Queensland, vast volumes of water are flowing south into Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre at levels not seen since the 1974 Australian floods. What this means is truly remarkable. This extraordinary event is transforming dry salt flats into a vast inland sea — something that has only occurred a handful of times in the past 160 years.

In 2026, nature is putting on a once-in-a-generation performance. From the air, this spectacle is nothing short of breathtaking — endless desert plains giving way to vast shimmering waters, birdlife returning in extraordinary numbers, and the outback bursting into life in a way few ever get to witness.

This exclusive Air Cruise has been designed to place you right at the heart of this rare event.

Enjoy time on the Eyre Peninsula, soaking up Port Lincoln and Coffin Bay’s coastal beauty and renowned seafood, before heading inland over the Flinders Ranges to Coober Pedy for a truly unique outback experience. The journey culminates in a breathtaking scenic flight over Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre, followed by a stop in Birdsville for a truly iconic outback lunch.

This is more than a journey. It’s a front-row seat to one of nature’s rarest and most awe-inspiring events.
