Air Safaris

Turquoise seas shimmering above the world-famous Great Barrier Reef. Endless sandy beaches shaded by palm trees and lapped by foaming surf. The untamed outback, where sun-baked landscapes stretch to a distant horizon, punctuated occasionally by a lonely station. These and many other wonders may unfurl below you on a thrilling trip by helicopter or bush plane – whether it’s a short scenic flight or a multi-day safari. Back on the ground, you’ll discover an Australia few ever see: pristine waterfalls, rowdy mining towns, isolated parks alive with koalas, kookaburras and kangaroos. Fly away from the everyday into the heart of Australia.
