The aircraft we use are either the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, ideal for ‘flight seeing’ with its high wings offering uninterrupted views of the landscape below or the Beechcraft Super King Air which is ideal for faster long range travel.

Enjoy seeing Australia from an aerial perspective, with no security lines, boarding delays or crowded baggage carousels at airports. Maximum time spent in the air is two and a half hours per flight. Move fast with no time wasted. The aircraft seating configuration will be matched to the tour group size. There is a maximum of 10 passengers and two (2) crew on all flights.

Unforgettable multiple destinations

What you will see in a week on an Outback By Air tour may take up to a month or more in a car. Imagine flying over 10,000kms in 14 days seeing a large part of Australia, covering the Top End and Kakadu, the magnificent Kimberley and Uluru in the red centre.

Testimonials from our Guests

Jill Deering
Sydney
"Amazing Outback Trip. The Pub Crawl was a fabulous 5 day trip. It was amazing to see so many outback places in very remote areas on the ground and in the air which included - classic outback pubs, fascinating locals and remarkable outback Australian landscapes from Birdsville to Bourke, with a great crew that had local knowledge. Cant wait to do my next trip!"
Ian Anderson
Sydney
"The best holiday of my life. From the preflight discussion to the very end of the tour, this tour had everything. It was perfectly organised, with great quality food, accommodation and tours. Phil and Matt, the pilots were absolutely magnificent. Everything is covered and organised and the pace is easy and comfortable. The trip had so much more content than what was listed in their brochure. We laughed for 6 days straight."
Fiona Robertson
Swan Hill
"An amazing way to see the Outback, flying low enough to see the country in all its different forms, from the Flinders Ranges, Lake Eyre, across the Channel Country and the Simpson Desert. We had time to experience the surreal beauty of The Painted Hills, the silent expanse of the Big Red sand dune, and the night sky at Uluru. A true highlight was meeting the locals at William Creek, Birdsville, and Trilby Station. Outback hospitality, second to none!"
Susan Elliott - Travel Writer
Sydney
"In my 25 years as a producer for Channel Seven's holiday program "Sydney Weekender" there have been hundreds of memorable trips. However my recent adventure with Outback By Air is 'up there' as unforgettable. With flight travel a treasured luxury these days it was a real treat to fly around Australia in a beautiful private plane without the stress of check-in counters, crowds and baggage carousels. I believe it really is the best way to see our country. What you see in a few days could take weeks by road and the aerial perspective is unbelievable - our “land of sweeping plains” is anything but plain!"
Andrew McIntire
Wollongong
"Such an amazing way to see our country. We have such a diverse range of ecologies from the Mountains, vast plains and the sandy outback, which all can be viewed & experienced when travelling by Air. This trip will be a holiday I will remember forever."
Mariette Hanekom
Cootamundra
"The tour was amazing, we did not want to leave. Trilby Station was fantastic with Liz and her energetic hospitality - we are definitely going back. The whole trip was magic! An experience I will treasure for a lifetime. "
Tom

"This air tour was the best way to see Australia both by air and road. You get to see so much in multiple states. Stopping in small outback towns and mixing with the locals is a real buzz and the pubs are a eye opener that will never be forgotten."
