Flinders & Outback Water Cruises

Australia's only Arid Land Outback Marine Cruise!

Silver Medal - Eco Tourism

The jewel of Spencer Gulf sits right at the top North of Port Augusta, as it penetrates the Outback at the base of the Flinders Ranges!

Critically acclaimed as one of South Australia’s best Eco Experiences and a must do when in Port Augusta.

As well as being unique there is also an authentic exploration connection with our cruise’s as we retrace the voyage of Mathew Flinders to the top of Spencer Gulf into the outback along the Flinders Ranges as he to searched for the mythical inland sea.

A great natural experience. It's more than just a great luxury, scenic cruise, you gain an upclose, personal insight on the land & its people from a 4th generation local.

Our small group numbers (2-16) give a personal relaxed cruise every time!

We can navigate outside the channel, into secluded hidden parts of the gulf, our Luxury vessel "DekyZayne" provides an up close personal encounter with the landscape & wildlife!
