Desert Venturer provides an adventurous alternative to air travel, offering the more daring voyager a true experience of Australia’s iconic outback. Why fly when you can take a classic road trip: the best way to see the Red Centre and Real Outback! Desert Venturer pioneers its way through far flung desert expanses and over rugged outback terrain encountering along the way authentic Aussie pubs, working cattle properties, endless geographical wonders and some unforgettable outback characters.

Our friendly drivers know their territory well and they will give you a true insight into outback Australia.

Five years ago Desert Venturer became the first and only outback adventure road trip tour between Cairns and Alice Springs. Leaving the sealed roads behind, Desert Venturer seeks out the “must see places” of the outback. More like a voyage with friends than a tour, Desert Venturer has proved a huge success in the youth and adventure travel sectors.

Desert Venturer carries thousands of eager adventurers every year, many of whom have become great mates and travelling companions on this memorable journey.

And our travellers have left their mark too on Desert Venturer as the product continues to grow and improve with enthusiastic passenger feedback and suggestions. We’ve added audio-visual entertainment, improved air-conditioning, made our vehicles more comfortable, doubled our departures and added even more highlights!

Can’t wait to lay your eyes on the bona fide outback? With Desert Venturer, you don’t have to.
