Fly with us from the River to the Outback on your unforgettable, personalised air safari adventure. Outback Australia has an incredible diversity of ancient landscapes. From the Channel Country in Western Queensland to Kati Thanda - Lake Eyre in the South Australian desert, to the Murray Country in the south, the dry lakes, salt lakes, wetlands, floodplains and rivers are spectacular when seen from the air. Murray Darling Scenic Flights takes you from the River to the Outback, with flights departing from Swan Hill and Mildura Airports. Let us create the personalised itinerary of your dreams and take you on the immersive adventure of a lifetime.

Ecologists refer to the Murray floodplains and surrounds as “the Kakadu of the South” recognising their ecological and cultural heritage significance. Murray Darling Scenic Flights works closely with the local communities of the regions over which it flies, creating a rich and insightful passenger experience. They encourage you to connect on ground with the people in the local towns and with the stories of the traditional owners… once you have seen the places seek to understand the stories.

SUSTAINABLE
TOURISM

Murray Darling Scenic Flights is a business deeply linked to the basin communities of the Central Murray over which it flies and believes in “keeping it local”.

Owned and operated by Caldwell farmers Peter and Wendy McDonald, the business enhances the tourism economy of the region.

Peter is a fifth generation farmer. The McDonald’s strongly believe that you have to step lightly on the land. Increasing understanding of the geography and beauty of the Basin’s magnificent landscapes enhances a sense of connection to place. They hope that with connection comes care. Murray Darling Scenic Flights actively supports local landcare providers, keeping their off sets real.

UNIQUE PLACES

The scale and beauty of significant landscapes in the Outback and Murray Darling Basin has to be seen to be believed.

We fly from the River to the Outback, over Redgum forests, wetlands, agricultural landscapes and ancient desert lakes that create a jigsaw from Barmah in the east, to William Creek in the west and Birdsville in the north. Murray Darling Scenic Flights offers 5 day tours to Lake Eyre, the Channel Country and Flinders Ranges. Shorter routes include the stunning salt lake system of Lake Tyrrell in Northern Victoria, flights to the ancient site of Lake Mungo, Yanga National Park, Gayini Wetlands, Barmah/Millewa Forest and over the Murray River all departing Swan Hill airport. Special overnight River to Outback packages depart Swan Hill or Mildura.

Personalised itineraries and charter flights are available.
