Arkaroola's Cessna 207 - 6 passenger scenic flight aircraft
To experience Arkaroola from the ground is amazing, however, to see it from the air is a whole new experience.
Soar above the famous Mt Painter country in Arkaroola's own 6-passenger, high-wing Cessna 207 with pilot Doug Sprigg, who has 30 years experience flying Arkaroola's skies.
Advanced Ecotourism Accredited Scenic Flights Available: 
1. Scenic Flight 1: This 35-minute Arkaroola Sanctuary Flight will take you from the ancient sedimentary seabed layers of southern Arkaroola to the unruly granite and quartzite outcrops of Mt Gee, the Mawson Plateau and the Freeling Heights.
While taking in the spectacular vistas, listen to Doug's commentary on your personal headphones and learn about Arkaroola's geology, Aboriginal Dreaming stories and mining history.
2. Scenic Flight 2: A 40-minute Lake Frome Flight that takes you east across the flood plains to the whitest salt lake in Australia. Shade your eyes from the flat crystalline expanse of kilometres of salt glinting in the sun, flanked by 20,000 year old sand dunes trapped forever in the Lake's crusty grasp, a relic of the time when central Australia was once an inland sea.
3. Scenic Flight 3: Combine Scenic Flights 1 and 2 for a remarkable 75-minute flight above an Australian landscape filled with rugged contrasts.
