Signature Experience – Scenic Flight and Guided Tour of the Painted Hills

Take a scenic flight to the Painted Hills, a hidden gem located within the Arckaringa Basin. This surreal landscape, characterised by its vibrant hues of red, pink, yellow, and ochre, is a testament to millions of years of geological history. The hills are composed of ancient siltstones, mudstones and sandstones, shaped by natural forces over a vast period of time. Embark on a guided walk to explore the breathtaking beauty of the Painted Hills while learning about the area’s geology, flora, and wildlife, and how it is a significant paleontological site, with fossils of ancient plants and animals embedded in the layers, offering a glimpse into Earth’s distant past.
