Motel accommodation and dinner in Windorah to start the tour, dinner at Mt Dare, and dinner, bed and breakfast at the Birdsville Hotel, as well as a scenic flight over the desert and flood plains from Birdsville at the end of the tour.
Join us for an in-depth and un-hurried 15-night tour of the Simpson Desert, featuring a full 10 days in the desert itself.
This tour is designed to fully immerse you in the remote beauty of the desert, travelling the lesser-used Southern tracks like the WAA Line and Rig Rd, as well as the more well-known spots like Poeppel Corner and the QAA and French Lines.
We take 5 days to travel from Birdsville to Dalhousie Springs on the Western side of the desert, so there's plenty of time to take it all in, and you'll get very good at dune driving. Our campsites are all brilliant, with one night on the edge of a salt lake (amazing when the moon is out), and the rest usually near a dune that we can climb and watch the sunset.
After a relaxing soak and 1 night stay at Dalhousie Springs, followed by two nights just up the road at the Mt Dare Hotel to rest and resupply, we'll head to the remote Madigan Line for another 5 days on the return crossing of the desert. The Madigan Line is quite different to the Southern tracks, despite only being about 200km to the North. The colours of the dunes and the vast spinifex grasslands are quite spectacular.
Once we intersect the QAA Line for our final night camped in the desert, we have the morning to play on Big Red, the biggest sand dune in the Simpson Desert, before returning to Birdsville for a final celebratory night and luxurious stay at the iconic Birdsville Hotel (the showers are awesome). After breakfast the following morning, you will be treated to a fantastic scenic flight, capturing some of the country you have just driven from the air, a brilliant way to wrap up your time in the desert.
No off-road driving experience is required, just a sense of adventure (though some camping experience and a good shake-down run of your gear is recommended). Full 4WD instruction will be provided along the way. If you want to truly experience the Simpson Desert, this is the tour for you.
