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.
Great inclusions: Motel accommodation and dinner in Windorah to start the tour; camping at Birdsville on the second night; dinner and camping at Mt Dare; and dinner, bed and breakfast at the Birdsville Hotel on the last night of the tour; as well as a scenic flight over the desert and flood plains from Birdsville on the last morning.
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 or sunrise.
After a relaxing soak and 1 night stay at Dalhousie Springs, followed by two nights just up the road at the remote Mt Dare Hotel to rest and resupply, we'll head to the remote Madigan Line in the North 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.
