4WD Tours

Sit back, relax and let one of our experienced local guides take you on a 4WD adventure of a lifetime.  Discover the spectacular scenery of the Flinders Ranges, see wildlife in its natural environment and abundant native flora, learn about the region’s rich geological history, and experience the Aboriginal and European histories of the area.

We offer a range of half and full-day tours, all conducted in modern 4WD vehicles. Full-day tours include morning tea and lunch, and half-day tours include morning tea. Tours can be booked at time of reservation or upon arrival at Rawnsley Park.

At certain times of the year, due to road conditions or other seasonal factors, we may need to alter an itinerary.  Your guide will discuss this with you.

Please wear enclosed shoes on our tours, including the sunset tour.
