Outback Spirit kicks off 2025 season with early bird savings
Outback Spirit has launched its full 2025 season with Earlybird Savings on offer to celebrate the launch.
There are 26 all-inclusive outback adventure tours available for agents to book for their clients with a brand new 168 page flagship brochure to support the sales. Guests who take advantage of the Earlybird Sale will benefit from a savings of up to $2,995 per person when booked by 30 September 2024.
Arnhem Land, Cape York and the Kimberley continue to be hero destinations for Outback Spirit’s custom fleet of all-terrain Mercedes-Benz 4WD coaches and network of lodges and camps. All-inclusive flagship tours that explore these regions will return in 2025 including the 13-day Arnhem Land Wilderness Adventure, 18-day Kimberley Delights and 13-day Cape York Wilderness Adventure.
Joining the 2025 season is the new 8-day, all-inclusive Arnhem Land & Kakadu Explorer tour, offering guests a taste of the spiritual heart of Australia. This new itinerary was created , from feedback gathered in trade industry focus groups, providing recommendations on new itineraries. This new tour is being trialled in 2024, however due to the positive response for a shorter Arnhem Land tour, Outback Spirit has already included the tour within the 2025 line-up.
“We’ve been overwhelmed with the support from our trade friends and partners,” Alicia Triggs, executive general manager Sales & Partnerships said.
“Each year brings new adventures and we’re excited to offer new itineraries that have been created as a direct result from trade feedback. After only two years of working together we’ve developed a commissionable booking system, made every itinerary all-inclusive and evolved our product offering to appeal to the trade market. We can’t wait to see what the next year brings.”
On the Arnhem Land & Kakadu Explorer, guests experience the highlights of both spectacular and remote locales, while travelling with the experts in small-group outback touring. This shorter 8-day tour is all-inclusive, with meals, beverages, entry permits and flights during the tour all included. Tour price starts from $7,995 including Earlybird savings of $1,000.
Extending the train and tour offering in 2025, Outback Spirit has paired the flagship 13-day Jewels of the Kimberley tour with Journey Beyond sister brand The Ghan. Named Kimberley Jewels, this 15-day all-inclusive adventure begins in Broome and visits the most spectacular parts of the Kimberely including Horizontal Falls, the Bungle Bungles, El Questro, and the Mitchell Plateau. Concluding in Darwin, guests will then board The Ghan for journey through Australia’s Red Centre by train. Tour price starts from $15,080.
