Flinders Ranges 3-Day Small Group 4WD Eco Tour from Adelaide

I really enjoyed the...

I really enjoyed the tour. Mick, our tour guide, did a great job. He provided us with a lot of information and answered all our questions patiently. At each stop we had enough time to enjoy the scenery. There was never a rush. We spotted a lot of wildlife. I recommend the tour.

3 day Flinders Ranges Adventure with Steve

I had booked the 3-day Flinders Ranges tour over the Easter weekend as part of my effort to explore as much of Australia as possible in 3 months... looking back on the entire trip half a year later, this tour was definitely one of the highlights. I was picked up from Adelaide by driver/guide Steve, where I learned that I was the only person on the tour! Unlike other tour companies that cancel for low numbers (I had 3 other tours canceled during my trip and it sucks), if you book this tour you are going on this tour. I loved it! I climbed up front with Steve and we had a great 3 days driving around. Conversations covered a wide range from the expected (local history/geography/etc) to the interesting to the absurd and I enjoyed every minute of it. Steve was not afraid to take the path less traveled and his knowledge of the area led us to some great spots. One of these side quests resulted in us driving behind at least 20 kangaroos bouncing along and I have a feeling this will stay on my top 5 life experiences list until I die because it was absolutely incredible! Food stops were great, and Steve seemed to have friends everywhere for us to visit with. The tour was fantastic and I really appreciated being able to see this slice of the Outback.

3 wonderful days exploring the Flinders Ranges

The Flinders Ranges make for a terrific destination to visit from Adelaide. You get stunning scenery, old mining towns as well as interesting wildlife and plants. I went with SA Eco Tours on their 3-day trip. Was picked up from my Adelaide Hotel and there were just three of us, along with Chris our guide/driver. Chris has a tremendous amount of knowledge about the entire area, which he is eager to share. He has even created his own informational books and maps to help appreciate what you are seeing. He was an enthusiastic and fun guide, who also was happy to adapt to the needs of the group. We stayed for two nights at Wilpena Pound which was a great base, with good food at their restaurant. I would recommend the safari tents there (with heating/AC and bathroom with hot water) as they are very peaceful and you'll be woken up by birdsong in the morning. I also strongly recommend doing the optional flight, as it gives you a great appreciation for the interesting geology and geography of the region. My highlight was probably the 2-hr roundtrip hike up to the rim of Wilpena Pound with stunning views at the end. The kangaroos grazing outside my tent in the morning was a close second. All in all, a tour I thoroughly recommend. SA Eco Tours do a very good job. My only regret was that I could not have done a longer tour. With the 3-day tour, you spend most of day 1 and day 3 driving, albeit with many interesting stops along the way. But if you can, do a 4- or 5-day tour.

3 Day Flinders Range & Outback.

My wife and I just returned from the 3-day Flinders Ranges & Outback Tour and could not be more pleased. We were surprised when we found out it was just us and our tour leader Mick. He advised us that his tours go regardless of how many sign up. Mick was amazing as he asked us what we wanted to see and adapted the tour to our choices; spending more or less time at each location as we preferred. Immediately it was obvious that Mick knows the areas we travelled to and quickly pointed out kangaroos, emus and a number of other species. His knowledge of Flinders Range and his willingness to stop explain the topography and history of the area was invaluable. He also picked fun (and delicious) spots to shop for snacks and lunches which was especially fun because he seemed to know everyone and they quickly engaged us in conversations. These were unique spots that we probably would never had picked without his input. When I mentioned in passing that I wanted to get my grandson an authentic boomerang, he took us to an Aboriginal acquaintance of his who had a small shop with items he had handmade. If you are considering a tour in the area I would definitely suggest you book this tour. 5 star all the way!

Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your glowing review, we're happy you and your wife had such a great time on your tour! Mick and Steve are both excellent guides who are always keen to share their love of the outback. We do hope to see you again some day. Cheers, Peter.

Outstanding

This was an outstanding experience. Steve took myself and my wife and one other person on the 3 day Flinders Ranges tour. Every aspect was superb, including the itinerary, the descriptions, humour, accommodation at Wilpena Pound, and the overall experience. Strongly recommended as a unique and fascinating part of Australia.

Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your positive review, we're glad you and your wife had a great time on your tour and that Steve was able to make this a memorable experience for you. We hope to see you again some day! Cheers, Mick.
