Lake Eyre Scenic Flight

For a longer flight experience, take the full or half day tour from Arkaroola to Lake Eyre. Taking in the wild red granites, gorges and watercourses of the Ridge Top and Mawson Plateau, the flight will then take you up to the eastern side of the Lake. It will give you a unique opportunity to see the orange red dunes of the Strzesleki and Tirari Deserts from the air, before tracking over Lake Eyre North’s Madigan Gulf Hunt Peninsula to Belt Bay, the lowest part in Australia.

To return, you’ll go down Jack Boot Bay to Lake Eyre South, then the Oodnadatta Track and the Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges. Not a bad trip!

And that’s just the half day.

If you choose the full day tour, you’ll also stop at the iconic William Creek Hotel for lunch and continue onto the Painted Hills, returning via Lake Torrens and the Leigh Creek Coal Fields. Extend your flight to the north end of the lake and see Warburton Groove, where the water enters the lake.
