Fuel Management & Future Pricing
We want to reassure our customers and travellers that we are actively managing fuel supplies to ensure Outback Spirit services continue to operate as scheduled. Our focus remains on delivering safe, reliable, and seamless outback touring experiences.
To maintain the exceptional standard of service our guests expect, we need to introduce modest pricing adjustments for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. These changes reflect the current global energy environment and rising operational costs.
Please note, updated pricing applies to new bookings only. All existing bookings remain unchanged.
We are not currently experiencing any fuel supply disruptions and are proactively managing resources to ensure a consistent, high-quality experience for all guests.
Flooding Update
We are currently monitoring flooding across affected regions of Australia. All tours are being closely assessed due to ongoing weather events. Any itinerary changes, route amendments, or cancellations resulting from weather-related closures will be communicated to affected tour guests directly. If you have any questions regarding your booking or Terms and Conditions, our Travel Consultants are here to help.
