Wet weather itinerary: As we are travelling the roads less travelled, and purely because of their remoteness and isolation, we
need to “expect the unexpected”. This can happen prior to departure, or in the midst of your journey. The black soil plains only need a
brief shower of rain and they can become impassable. Because of this remoteness & isolation, access to a stranded vehicle can be very
difficult. Desert Venturer therefore has an “Inclement Weather Route” which will protect your safety and well being. These decisions are
quite often made on the morning of departure, or even enroute.
our vehicles… Desert Venturer’s unrivalled fleet of well-equipped vehicles are specifically fitted out to leave the sealed roads behind for rough
dirt and desert stretches. With a range of features including air conditioning, DVD entertainment, reclining seats, and extra leg room, Desert Venturer’s
vehicles are not only more economic than flying, but more comfortable too!
THE Real AUSTRALIA
our drivers… Our drivers are hand picked and trained to the highest standards to provide the most exceptional travelling experience for our
passengers. You will be guided safely through the most remote areas of Australia by your friendly, knowledgeable Driver/Guide. Our drivers are full
of interesting facts, legends and stories and will ensure your journey is both exciting and informative.
