 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went on a 4-day tour from Adelaide to Kati Thani - Lake Eyre via  Wilpena Pound. We didn’t realise when we booked that a ‘small tour’ meant just us (my husband and I) and so were  surprised at first to find we would be on our own with Adrian (our driver). But once we got used to the idea - we found Adrian to be a great guide who was really knowledgeable about the whole area covered by the trip and able to adapt to day-day conditions to take us on the best route etc.
There was a feeling that bookings were made at the last minute (eg Wilpena flight) and Marree Hotel and the advertised up to 3 hour walks did not happen.
Overall, we had a great time and recommend Spirit Safaris to anyone looking for a personalised adventure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Myself and 3 other individuals have just completed a 10 day Simpson Desert tour, Adelaide to Adelaide with tour guide Adrian. What a fabulous adventure it was. The landscape, the experiences with fellow travellers all made possible by Adrian. His knowledge of the area is amazing be it through history and geography and he knew how to choose other routes to navigate still impassable tracks.  He drives the Landcruiser safely  maximising comfort to passengers and vehicle endurance. We enjoyed his meals he had prepared around the campfire at night.  Every morning tea and lunch found us under a shady tree. Everyone got on fabulously. Humour all the way. We camped in some truly  beautiful locations. Thankyou Adrian. Thankyou Spirit Safaris.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic 3 day trip. Adrian gave us educational and entertaining commentary. He made sure we  had plenty of photo and comfort stops. He knew of great little side excursions to get date ice cream, see birds and get as close to Lake Eyre as possible. He also shared photos with us on the evening he dropped us off. Definitely recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We all enjoyed our trip from Darwin to Adelaide
July 2026. The landscape was all we had expected from semi arid interior regions to the  vineyards in the South
Our driver/guides were informative and very helpful. The accomodation and meals were better than we had expected of the outback
Would recommend the Spirit Safari team

Thanks Richard so very much for a great trip.
Everything was well done and ran smoothly.
Seeing Karijini, being immersed in the energy and walking in the gorges has been a long held dream for me and i wasnt disappointed.
Seeing the iron ore process from Tom Price thru to Port Hedland was most enlightening as was Woodside's gas infrastructure at Dampier.
80Mile beach was spectacular. As was time spent in Millstream Chichester NP
It was so nice to sit bck and take in the scenery with all the driving u did. Thank u again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have just completed the Pilbara Karijini tour with Richard from Spirit Safaris and I was very impressed. The accommodation in every stop was comfortable and well appointed, the breakfasts and dinners were superb, and Richard made sure to take everyone's  needs into account with our picnic lunches. I am gluten and lactose intolerant, so I presented a bit of a challenge, but he handled it well.
I did enjoy our micro group of three and travelling in a car, which I think is far better than a bus.
Richard himself is knowledgeable about the places we visited, and he's relaxed with a great sense of humour, which injected some fun into the more lengthy drives.
I have no hesitation in recommending Spirit Safaris and their Pilbara Tour. As a West Aussie from down south it was everything I hoped and expected to see...and more!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've just come back from a wonderful trip to the Pilbara.  There were only three of us plus our tour guide Richard.  I really enjoyed the experience of 4WD travelling in such a small group - much preferable to a bus, especially considering the long distances involved  - and we all got on well together.  The accommodation and the food were excellent, as was Richard's local knowledge.
Would do it all again in a heartbeat!
