Since 1988, Diamantina was at the forefront of award-winning remote expeditions in the heart of Outback Australia. We were not just a tour company; we were a passionate family business deeply devoted to nature and the rugged beauty of the Outback.
Our hand curated journeys were made even more exceptional with our meticulously equipped forward-seating Toyota Land Cruisers. These vehicles are renowned for their reliability and comfort in the challenging outback conditions. What's more, our entire fleet consisted of vehicles under three years old, ensuring your safety and comfort throughout the journey.
We took pride in our personalized approach to expeditions, with a remarkable guide-to-guest ratio of 1:4. Our dedicated guides shared a deep passion for the Outback, cultivated through years of collaboration with scientists in the field. With this wealth of knowledge, we offered expert interpretations of both the natural and cultural history, enriching your journey with fascinating insights.
If you were yearning to experience the true essence of the Outback, explore the captivating culture of desert Aboriginals, and immerse yourself in the unspoiled beauty of nature, Diamantina was the choice for you – we proudly stood as Australia's leading outback eco-tour operator.
As the sun sets and the night sky unfolds, you'd find yourself gathering around a roaring campfire, sharing stories of the day's adventures. Meanwhile, our experienced crew would prepare a delectable meal. Our promise to you was a culinary experience to savour. Modern cuisine with fresh ingredients, prepared over an open fire – a true feast for your senses.
Camping with us meant luxuriating in fully made-up swags, complete with sheets, doonas, and pillowcases, all laid out on comfortable stretchers. We offered a secure environment for solo travelers and couples alike. We provided the perfect balance of camaraderie and personal space.
Our expeditions welcomed adventurers of all ages. Age was no obstacle – all that was required was a zest for good health and a deep appreciation for nature and the untamed wilderness. Alas all good things come to an end and Andrew Dwyer has decided to retire. Whilst several tour operators expressed interest in purchasing the business, including one of the largest on earth at the end of the day the product we offered was too unique. Thank you to all our fabulous guests, suppliers and crew for making Diamantina such an amazing journey. Heres to retirement. See you out bush sometime.
