Red Earth Expeditions
Welcome to our website, the home of the Red Earth Expeditions adventure travel ‘family’.
We are a 4WD adventure tour company, based in Adelaide, whose philosophy is to take visitors in comfort and safety to remote Australia's most wild, most beautiful, most rugged and most remote places.
Are you looking for real outback adventure but not sure where or how to start?
Would you like to learn about our Australian outback’s culture and history?
Do you want an outback holiday to remember for a lifetime?
Picture yourself sitting around a campfire under a clear desert sky eating, drinking and sharing a yarn with your fellow travellers.
Our tours are for small groups only. This means you can have a real conversation with your guide and fellow travellers. Smaller groups are also kinder on the fragile environment we travel through.
Red Earth Expeditions can take you to those wide open spaces only the Australian outback offers. Come with us to our deserts and wilderness, where the feeling of isolation, remoteness and a sense of history and exploration are profound. Enjoy the safety net only an experienced tour operator can provide and the opportunity to travel with like minded adventurers. On our tours you will be escorted by one or two of our highly experienced guides. They are also skilled 4WD trainers who instruct our clients in the skills of four wheel driving. So you are in safe hands at all times.
Most of our tours are self catered, camping style, tag-along. This keeps your costs down but, we include events in each tour that others will ask you to pay for separately. We also offer a range of fully customised catered and accommodated tours for those who wish to be indulged or simply don’t have the camping gear. We all like to be spoilt a little and these tours definitely deliver. Our custom tours are for very small groups or couples and we design them specifically for you. One of our guides will act as your personal tour escort.
Don't have a 4WD? If you don’t own a 4WD we can organise the hire of a fully equipped one including everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable outback trip. We even offer a provedore service where we supply high quality Australian food and wine to your specific preferences. All you need to do is turn the key, switch on the UHF radio and tag-along with the group.
Our job is to take care of all the planning and organisation to ensure your journey is a truly enjoyable one.
Driving and recovery training includes off-road camper trailers. Our 4Wdriving and recovery training will shift your comfort zone from the uncertainty normal for a new 4WD owner to the point where you will have the skills and be able to say; I can do that. I’ve done it and I can do it again. Our off-road camper trailer training program will give you a through understanding of how to safely two off-road and have you planning your next adventure.
So why not join the Red Earth extended family for your next outback adventure or to learn the skills and gain the confidence to travel this wonderful country safely and get the best out of that 4WD of yours.
We'll put you on the right track!
