  2. Flinders Ranges: Scenic Flight Over National Park

  Take a scenic flight over the vast landscape of the Ikara-Flinders Ranges and Wilpena Pound and experience the natural beauty in the best way possible. See the Elder Range, Edeowie Gorge, Lake Torrens, the Heysen Range, and St. Mary Peak, as well other stunning natural sites. The scenic flight enables amazing opportunities for photos and is rated in the top scenic flights throughout Australia and New Zealand. To truly understand the scale and beauty of the national park and surrounding area, it needs to be witnessed from above.

  A must do if you’re in the Flinders! Our pilot was very knowledgeable both in the Dreamtime stories of Wilpena and surrounds, and the geological aspects of the area. Was absolutely breathtaking to see the Pound from the air, and an ideal way to understand the various walks/drives before undertaking them on the ground. Would definitely recommend
