This Outback tour will stay in my memory as one of the best I’ve done with Intrepid. We had the superstar real gem local guide Jess, the real authentic deal for this region of the Outback. She drove safely a huge and new spacious comfortable truck through very rough terrain in faraway uninhabited unique landscapes. This tour demonstrated to me that the Outback is primarily a destination and an experience in its own right. Because of the nature of the Outback , a trip can’t really be planned and plans and activities cannot be followed and do not happen as planned. The itinerary has to be created and negotiated depending on the daily weather conditions. So the guide is a crucial element in the trip. Most importantly the experience of such a region has to be shared by a guide who knows the region very well and loves it deeply. It’s a relaxing trip to chill and enjoy the moment in a very different and extraordinary region of the world, not a trip to tick a list of things done and seen. It’s also not a hiking trip for younger and active travelers. It’s a comfortable trip with lots of excellent food and drink on offer, lots of driving and exploring and the accommodation is fine. It’s an enjoy the ride even if you’re not the youngest or the fittest. Gaze at the incredible starry sky in rare dark locations of the world. Go with the flow, open your eyes (lots of wildlife) and your mind and the trip will leave you with lasting impressions.

Fantastic trip to discover the outback with Sarah! So many great activities and adventures to experience life in the outback!

solo travellers looking for incredible skies sweeping landscapes, friendly locals including a joey meet at an art gallery in Coober Pedy, some long travel days, variety of short walks come to South Australia.

A fabulous trip to the South Australian Outback

An expensive way of traveling around the SA outback (but you're paying for the convenience and its totally worth it). Expect few long driving days & LOTS of flies - so I'd recommend buying the fly net (don't be a martyr). Amedeo was an amazing guide, full of enthusiasm & made our trip :)

Thoroughly enjoyed outback Australia which exceeded all expectations

This trip took me to places I’ve dreamed of visiting and brought the outback alive. I have memories for a lifetime. The itinerary, guide and experience was exceptional.

When you have such a great guide who is willing to share her vast knowledge with enthusiasm in the vast area we travelled it can only be a positive experience and made me come home looking for when and where to go next. Hope to cross paths with Sarah again....Cheers!

This is a fantastic way to see South Australia outback. Our tour leader was fantastic, very helpful, informative and organised the trip well. The itinerary had many highlights, Coober Pedy, Lake Eyre, Wilpena and Terry at Iga Warta, who was very welcoming and sharing his Adnya­math­anha culture around the fire was a special experience.

This was an excellent trip. We got to see so many amazing sights and diverse landscapes. Jess was a stellar guide showing us around the Outback. The cultural site of Iga Warta was definitely a must visit for a more authentic experience of the Outback, especially for a stargazer.
