I’m Richard O’Neill, founder of Spirit Safaris. For over 30 years, I’ve dedicated my life to taking small, micro groups of travellers deep into the Australian outback and wilderness areas — often places most tour buses simply can’t reach. In modern, comfortable, premium four-wheel-drive Landcruisers, we explore remote terrains that reveal the true essence of Australia.
Right now, there’s something extraordinary happening that doesn’t come around often: Lake Eyre is flooding at the highest level in decades. This once-in-a-lifetime event transforms Australia’s driest place into a shimmering inland sea, attracting wildlife and colors that most people will never witness in their lifetime. It might be years before it happens again, making our 2026 and into 2027 Lake Eyre tours specially crafted to maximize this unique opportunity.
Tours run with just 2 to 4 adults per vehicle, ensuring an intimate experience where you can connect with fellow travellers and your guide.

P.S. Lake Eyre doesn’t flood on a schedule — when it happens, it happens. If this is on your list, it’s worth looking sooner rather than later.
