"I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best". - Oscar Wilde

Desert Sky Tours - Outback Adventure in a purpose built 6WD vehicle, offering unrivalled space, outstanding visibility and ultimate comfort !

Around town, our 6 wheel drive vehicle invariably makes a big impact, with questions frequently asked regarding its technical and mechanical features - it takes passengers some time to become accustomed to the many inquisitive glances from passers by.

Passenger access and comfort is paramount. There is easy and convenient access by a rear staircase, comfortable seating with in-built lumbar support, individually controlled airconditioning, and the advantage of height
to give the best possible view. An unrestricted view is guaranteed, regardless of seat position.
Being a coach style vehicle, vision is also forward through the front windscreen !

A maximum of 18 passengers ensures personalised attention at all times within a friendly and informative group environment.

The Licensed Travel Agency business is operated by Howard and Jenny Humby, who have a genuine desire to share their love and experience of the outback with the visitor.
Howard is a fully accredited tour operator, a graduate of Environmental and Cultural Tourism, and has many years 4WD experience. He is keen to ensure the visitor is fully informed of all aspects of the trip, both on tour and prior to departure.
An afternoon pre-departure meeting provides opportunity for passengers to meet each other, receive information, and ask questions regarding the impending trip.
Jenny accompanies each tour in her role as hostess, ensuring personal attention to each passenger. She provides an informative on-board commentary, and is a certified first aid officer, with a strong regard for the older age group.

Financial Protection: The Business is a participant in The Travel Compensation Fund (TCF). TCF is a fund administered by a regulatory body established by government to protect consumer funds in the event of a member’s financial failure. Desert Sky Tours' clients can have complete confidence that our Business meets the strict financial criteria necessary for participation in the TCF.


The most popular trip is a 9 day Birdsville/Innamincka itinerary, during which the visitor experiences a vast contrast of landscape, including sand dunes, gibber plains, saltbush and wildflowers.
This trip is particularly preferred by the more mature age group, as it is based on Motel/Hotel accommodation, and provides a warm bed and great meal after an interesting day in the outback!

A good winter escape to the Outback, combining the opal district of Coober Pedy and the spectacular Breakaway country is a 9 day trip to William Creek and the Painted Desert. We experience a night at William Creek, underground motel accommodation in Coober Pedy and return via Woomera, Olympic Dam and Roxby Downs.
This trip has wide variety of scenery and many attractions of diverse interest.

Another popular trip is to the Flinders Ranges, travelling through Wilpena Pound, Blinman to Arkaroola, with return through the equally spectacular Gammon Ranges and the Moralana Scenic route to Hawker. The price, as with all trips includes hotel accommodation, all meals, plus the world famous Ridgetop Tour.

Desert Sky Tours also operate PERSONALISED 4WD trips (maximum 4 people). A favourite personalised tour is to the Flinders Ranges, using Rawnsley Park as a base, and experiencing a breath-taking "Sky Trek" day trip on Willow Springs Station. This is the highest vehicle access point in the Flinders Ranges, and the views to Mt Caernarvon (921m) are stunning.

Other personalised itineraries include a 7 day Coongie Lakes and 5 day Mungo and Hattah Kulkyne National Parks trip.   (please see "Itineraries" for details)

Tours depart from and return to Adelaide, and prices include accommodation and all meals.
