An iconic train journey through the Red Centre, paired with a small-group 4WD tour through the country’s most remote regions, offers the ultimate opportunity to experience more. More panoramic landscapes, more outback adventures, more unique flora and fauna, more culinary delights, more cultural learning, and more moments to truly connect with the land.

There’s no better way to experience the vastness and beauty of Australia’s heartland than by journeying on The Ghan and exploring the Red Centre with Outback Spirit’s Red Centre Spectacular. Remote destinations,ncomparable camaraderie and immersive Off Train Experiences are just a few of the highlights.

Like our trains, Outback Spirit’s all-inclusive, intimate tours are all about unique experiences, from the stunning rock formations of Kings Canyon and Kata Tjuta to the awe-inspiring Uluru. Guests travel in comfort onboard state-of-the-art 4WD Mercedes-Benz vehicles, lay their heads in comfortable hotels along the route, and experience something different every day, from admiring rock art to swimming in a wild freshwater waterfall. A multi-day train journey paired with an Outback Spirit tour is the perfect experiential tourism combination.

The 11-day Red Centre Spectacular, for example, starts in Darwin, where guests board The Ghan and roll out of the city and into the outback, stopping in Katherine and Alice Springs. From “The Alice”, as the city is fondly known, Outback Spirit steps into the driver’s seat, taking guests on a small-group tour to some of the most spectacular sights in central Australia, including Kings Canyon, Standley Chasm, Ormiston Gorge, Kata Tjuta and Uluru. There’s an evening under the stars with the Sounds of Silence dining experience and a dazzling display at the acclaimed Field of Light, as it illuminates the desert sky. Then, it’s back to The Ghan, continuing down the track to explore the quirky underground town of Coober Pedy before the journey draws to an end in Adelaide.

Beyond the Red Centre Spectacular, Outback Spirit offers a range of immersive touring options, from the rugged beauty of Arnhem Land to the breathtaking landscapes of Kakadu and the Kimberley. No matter where your sense of adventure takes you, all journeys are all-inclusive, all-encompassing, all magical – and all made possible with Journey Beyond.
