Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre & Uluru by Private Plane
OVERVIEW
Witness some of the icons of the Outback during this convenient two-day journey by private plane. Behold the rare sight of Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre in flood. Recent rains have transformed the usually parched salt lake into a veritable inland sea, with water levels tipped to be at their greatest in 15 years. The convenience of private air travel also allows us to cast our collective gaze upon the Marree Man, Uluru and the Flinders Ranges.

Nature’s Rare Spectacle & Flood Relief
Make the most of this rare opportunity to survey Australia’s largest salt lake in flood. A marvel of nature, the normally dry salt pan experiences a small flood around every three years, with a larger one taking place each decade. Current conditions have led to predictions this will be the largest volume of water the lake has seen in the previous 15 years. Present flooding should result in the vast desert landscape being transformed into a lush and vibrant ecosystem, a habitat for many diverse waterbird species. Only from above, can we appreciate the enormous scale and regenerative power of nature.
Captain’s Choice will make a $50 donation on behalf of each guest to Rural Aid’s Queensland Flood Appeal. Each contribution will also be matched by our charitable fund, OneTomorrow.
See Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre in Flood
Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre is expected to hold the greatest volume of water it has seen in many years. Flying to our own schedule allows us time to appreciate the vastness of this natural wonder. Our privately chartered Q400 high-wing aircraft offers extraordinary, unimpeded aerial views and gourmet in-flight meals.
Marree Man and Uluru Flyovers
We fly over the mysterious Marree Man. At 4.2 km long, this subject of perpetual speculation and local lore is best viewed from the air. While the colossal sandstone monolith, Uluru, steals the show, with unrivalled aerial perspectives enjoyed from aboard our private plane.
Land at Uluru for Lunch
Flying by private plane affords us the convenience of touching down near one of the world’s most iconic natural wonders, Uluru. Enjoy lunch within sight of the colossal sandstone monolith. The greater landscapes of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park also serve as mesmerising backdrops to our time in this serene setting.
An Aerial Adventure from Adelaide
Begin this unrepeatable sojourn with an overnight stay in Adelaide. At the Adelaide Marriott Hotel, we attend a dinner and lecture, learning about Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre’s remarkable ecosystem, where an otherwise desert landscape is sporadically recast as a vibrant and fertile habitat.
