Australian Premium Touring

Outback Spirit is Australia's leading premium small group touring company. We'll take you to discover the spirit of the Australian outback in supreme comfort and show you a side of Australia that many people never get to see.

We're so passionate about the Australian outback that we wanted to share its breathtaking beauty and rich cultural heritage. An Outback Spirit tour is not just another bus tour but a fascinating small group adventure to the Australian outback and beyond.

You'll experience a wild, remote and remarkable Australia from a very different perspective. You'll meet the true locals, discover the flora and fauna and come face-to-face with many of Mother Nature's most spectacular works.

One thing we can promise you is that our luxury tours will be an unforgettable journey of discovery filled with lifelong memories.

Comfort and safety as you travel in style

At Outback Spirit, we specialise in small groups of 20 or 26 and use purpose-built, luxury all-terrain Mercedes Benz coaches. The best thing about these coaches is that we can take you off the beaten track to spectacular places that are inaccessible to conventional tour coaches. We can access unique locations and stay at some of  the smaller, more isolated wilderness lodges that you couldn't otherwise get to. We have even built our own "5-star" wilderness lodge on the beautiful Mitchell Plateau.

But it's our people who really make the difference. Our highly experienced drivers and crews have a deep and detailed knowledge of every destination, and we continue to have Les Hiddins, the "Bush Tucker Man" on our team.

The Australian Outback is one of the most rare and beautiful places on earth and we invite you to come and explore it with us. We want to share the colours and the contrasts, the pioneering history and folklore, the Aboriginal culture and our incredible flora and fauna. It's an unforgettable adventure filled with amazing experiences and treasured memories that will stay with you long after the tour ends.

Bush Tucker Man

Outback & Kimberley Tours

G'day, I'm Les Hiddins - you may know me as the "Bush Tucker Man".

I'd like to say that if you want to see Australia, outback Australia that is, where you'll get off the beaten track and into some of the most spectacular scenic or wilderness areas in the world, then you've come to the right place.

Outback Spirit will take you into the very heart of this amazing country - to some of the most spectacular places you can imagine. They're an incredibly professional mob with a dead-set commitment to doing the right thing. That's why I'm involved. They know Australia almost as well as I do and they're as passionate about it as I am. Having worked with them for a number of years now, I know from experience that no one does it better.

So, when you're ready to explore our amazing country, let Outback Spirit take you on the adventure of a lifetime. I guarantee you won't forget it.

But don't take my word for it. See for yourself"
