Cape York & Northern Islands (16 days)

The thought of visiting the ‘Tip of Australia’ appeals to a lot of people, but the logistics of getting there has always proven to be a barrier. Kirkhope Aviation Outback Air Tours solve the
problem with a stunning 13-day Cape York safari that includes outback Queensland, the Gulf of Carpentaria, and Torres Strait islands. Fly from Horn Island and land at the Tip of Australia for that fabulous photo at the most northern point of our Country.

Your journey begins from Melbourne. Destinations include Broken Hill, Innamincka, Mt Isa, Lawn Hill, Sweers Island, Horn Island, Thursday Island, Lizard Island, Laura, Cooktown, Longreach, Ingelara (Carnarvon Gorge) and Charlotte Station  before heading back home.

It’s an incredible way to see so many iconic locations: exotic scenery, interesting characters, and unique birds and wildlife while making your way to the Tip of Australia and back. Cape York 4WD tours are included, and if you’re keen to wet the line, we can also arrange fishing tours at Cape
York.

Like all Kirkhope Aviation Outback Air Tours, it’s fully inclusive —all you need to bring is just your hat, sunscreen, sunnies and some money for
souvenirs!
