Overview
Air Tours to the Outback ... A Great Way to See Australia
Kirkhope Aviation is a small group charter service located in Melbourne, Australia. It specializes in outback Australian air tours and has over 35 years experience in this field. Tours are operated in very comfortable eight-passenger twin engine aircraft and flown by instrument rated commercial pilots. There are some standard tours that visit places such as Ayers Rock, Opal fields, the Kimberley, Arnhem Land and the Gulf, but the best way is to charter the aircraft with your own group and then the tour can be tailored to suit your interests. To make the most of this unique adventure travel experience it is best to visit places that are more remote than most and those that cater for few tourists at a time. These remote places like Kimberley Coastal Camp, Faraway Bay and Davidson’s Arnhemland Safaris are small but upmarket type luxury bush resorts. Each has it’s own unique experience from Aboriginal rock art to Barramundi Fishing to spectacular gorges and wildlife.
Destinations can be chosen for your own group from five-star motels to luxury bush camps, eco lodges and or homestay cattle stations.
Depending on the destinations and areas visited the tours average between 7 and 14 days. The large trips tend to visit the Pilbara, Kimberley and Arnhem Land while the shorter trips visit places as far up as Ayers Rock (the Center). It is also possible to arrange weekend type flights that still show a level of "outback" that most do not see... places such as Kangaroo Island, Flinders Island, King Island and Mungo National Park to name a few.
