Known for exploring Australia’s wild and rugged frontiers, Outback Spirit shares the country’s dramatic yet beautiful landscape with guests. Unparalleled access to some of Australia’s most remote places has driven a nearly sold out 2022 season. In response, Outback Spirit has released its 2023 dates early allowing guests to secure their desired travel dates ahead of time.

 Chief Commercial Officer for Journey Beyond, Peter Egglestone, said “We have been in the outback adventure business for over 20 years and offer more than 25 itineraries that reach into some of Australia’s most remote and remarkable landscapes—even the most seasoned traveller will find a new pocket of Australia to explore. We have unparalleled access into Arnhem Lands and the most hard-to-reach regions across Australia. The demand for our tours has grown exponentially and we’re nearly sold out for 2022, so to ensure guests can book the dates they want, we’ve opened the 2023 season earlier than ever before.”
