Why Visit Lake Eyre Now?
Lake Eyre is an extraordinary place even when dry—but when it fills, it becomes a shimmering inland sea surrounded by striking red desert dunes and teeming with birdlife. This rare event has occurred only three times in the past 160 years, making it a must-see moment for nature lovers, photographers, and adventurers alike.
Our scenic flights give you front-row seats to this natural phenomenon—without the dust or long drives. Soar above endless reflections, salt-crusted shores, and an ever-changing canvas of colour and contrast.
About Lake Eyre
Located in the heart of South Australia, Lake Eyre (Kati Thanda) is the largest salt lake in the country and the lowest natural point on the Australian continent—15.2 metres below sea level. It’s part of a vast and ancient landscape with deep cultural significance to the Arabana people, whose heritage and stories are interwoven with the land.
When dry, the lake forms a dazzling white salt crust. When full, it becomes a thriving wetland, attracting thousands of birds including pelicans, banded stilts, and terns. Life returns to the desert in dramatic style, and it’s a view you’ll never forget.
This is a fleeting opportunity
Lake Eyre may not be full again for years, even decades. Flights are filling fast, so secure your seat today.
