Kim and I (Goldie) had a fantastic time and feel very fortunate to have had this experience. Our pilot Jayden was funny, fabulous and so informative. Made the trip! As with most groups there are always a few grumbles! Yes, there were a few itinerary changes, beyond the organizers control . Didn’t worry us! Some mentioned the lack of a toilet stop at one time. A toilet stop after the flight from Innaminka to Cooper Pedy would have been appreciated! My comment was “guests could have spoken up!” Hats off to Linda! A difficult task having to cater for any group! Definitely a few characters on our tour. ☺️ thanks again to Linda and pilots.

Kim and Goldie — thank you so much for this wonderful review, it made my day, especially being a sunny Saturday in Adelaide winter! Goldie, a champ for wearing gold to make yourself easy to spot — now that's what I call dressing for the occasion! I'm so glad you both had a fantastic experience, and I'll absolutely pass on your kind words to Jayden — he truly is one of a kind we get such good review for Jayden! As for the itinerary changes, these things are sometimes just out of our hands, and I appreciate that you both rolled with it so graciously — that's the spirit of adventure! Toilet facilities along some of those remote outback routes are, shall we say, few and far between and unfortunately not something we provide ourselves. A gentle reminder to all future travellers: don't be shy, speak up and we'll always do our best to accommodate where we can! I do wish I could please everyone — truly, I try! But I'm so grateful for the kind souls like yourselves who make the job an absolute joy. Hope to see you both on another adventure soon! 😊 — Linda

Thanks Tom and Bonny for a wonderful time. You were great to travel with and so very generous with meals, snacks and drinks. I think we put on 2 kgs on our trip with all the wonderful food and wine. We really enjoyed the tour and scenery and appreciated both their skills in making a great alternative program due to a truck stuck in a crossing stopping us from continuing on our original tour. The flight over Lake Eyre was fantastic as was all the well planned excursion highlights which were so interesting. We loved our time and would really recommend Lake Eyre Tours to anyone thinking of take a tour in the Flinders Rangers and out back SA. Maureen & Matthew. July 2026
4-5 Day Lake Eyre Tour
Maureen & Matthew, what a lovely review — thank you so much! It was an absolute pleasure having you both along for the ride, and Bonny and I loved every moment of your company. I have to say, if you only put on 2 kgs, we clearly didn't try hard enough! 😄 We do love making sure our guests are well fed and happy — good food and great wine just make the whole experience even better. We're so glad the change of plans didn't dampen the adventure! That truck certainly had other ideas, but it gave us the chance to show you a different side of this incredible region, and it sounds like it all worked out beautifully. The flight over Lake Eyre is always a highlight — there really is nothing quite like seeing it from above. Thank you for your kind words and for recommending Lake Eyre Tours — it genuinely means so much to Bonny and me. We hope to welcome you back out to the outback one day soon! Warm regards, Tom (& Bonny) Lake Eyre Tours

A very enjoyable week, this tour is so much more than seeing Lake Eyre as it encompasses the Flinders and Gammon Ranges and associated sites and activities of interest. Great hosts and all food, drinks and accommodation are taken care of.

For anybody wanting to see outback South Australia the Flinders Rangers, Lake Ayre/Kati Thanda and all the beautiful old places along the overland telegraph line and original Ghan railway - you can't get a better tour than this. Tom and Bonnie work as a fantastic team always friendly and great guides. Tom grew up in this area and he has connections everywhere we went he knows the history he knows the people who have made their lives in this area for generations as well as first Nations people whose landed it is. The tour covers all your costs; meals accommodation everything from beginning to end. On my tour heavy rains meant we couldn't get through the road to Coober Pedy where I was to fly back from on the Wednesday and so we had to turn around back to Marree. Tom immediately organised a light plane connection through Olympic Dam so that I was back in Adelaide to get my connection home to Perth where I need to be the following day for the memorial service for my brother's passing. All this at no extra cost to me! For all the other members the tour Tom and Bonnie organised to travel to the north end of the Flinders ranges and see more of that ancient country for their final day. It's a trip to remember all my life - thanks Tom and Bonnie. Oh and when you're in Maree for the evening meal - order the Camel burger - best burger I've ever had!
