Australia is a huge and diverse land of beauty and wonder. NTAS Air Adventures can provide guided tours of several areas of this vast continent, including guided tours and scenic flights of Northern Australia, which take you into the interior of this wonderful and fascinating place and travel through some spectacular changing landscapes into the Australian outback.

 

On most guided tours of Northern Australia is a trip to Mount Isa, a lovely mining town and then through Queensland and Carnooweal on your way to the flat and interesting Northern Territory.Perhaps you’ll take a refreshing swim in the aqua-coloured waters of the Mataranka’s thermal pool, hidden within a grove of tall, shady palm trees.

 

  

  

 



Following this stop, you’ll head back up north. As you travel, NTAS Air Adventure tours will take you on a cruise through the spectacular gorge systems of the Katherine Gorge and then it’s on to the fascinating Magnetic termite mounds, visible in the Litchfield National Park. Visitors can swim at the lovely Florence Falls before going back to civilization in the city of Darwin in Northern Australia.

In Darwin, NTAS Air Adventure tours will often have you stay at a luxury hotel and will show you the areas for shopping, dining and enjoying the nightlife at one of Darwin’s famous nightclubs.  Visit the museums and the historic early settlement in this Australian frontier city.  Guided tours by open top bus of the city are available for those who wish to see what Darwin is all about.  

Next, NTAS Air Adventure tours will head east to the famous Kakadu National Park, truly one of Australia’s most lovely wilderness refuges.  In the park, you’ll see the Nourlangie Rock which reveals original aboriginal art from thousands of years ago and you’ll be visiting an aboriginal site where these people have lived for more than 40,000 years.

 

 

 

 

To really “see” Australia’s finest, NTAS Air Adventures can take you on a Yellow Water Billabong Cruise, where you can snap pictures and catch sight of Australia’s many crocodiles, snakes, dingos and other water life easily found in the Kakadu region.

  

Another favourite spot for NTAS Air Adventure guided tours of Northern Australia is the Manyallaluk Aboriginal Cultural Center where you’ll see how the native peoples lived and continue to live today.  Demonstrations show you how to throw a spear and create fire the natural way.  This center is run by the indigenous peoples themselves so you’ll get a really authentic experience.  There are places to shop for aboriginal souvenirs. 

NTAS Air Adventures guided tours always stop at AliceSprings—often for a couple of days.   One can visit the Western MacDonnell mountain ranges, where one can see the Ochre Pits, Simpson’s Gap or hike the Ormiston Gorge. There are also many places to eat authentic Australian food.  

 

 

  

 

NTAS Air Adventure Guided tours of Northern Australia take you back to the aboriginal life and help you explore the Australian Outback in ways few people have been able to do.  The sights and attractions are many and it’s a great trip for the whole family.

Chartering a Private Aircraft versus Buying Your Own

Chartering a Private Aircraft versus Buying Your Own

Are you interested in chartering a private aircraft?  If so, have you done so before?  If this is your first time chartering a private aircraft, you may not know that you that may be able to choose your own aircraft.  There are a large number of private jet chartering companies that have fleets of aircraft or more than one type of aircraft. When this is the case, it is not uncommon for you to be able to choose your own private aircraft to charter.  While this is nice to do, there are some instances, where it may be more of a hassle than anything else.  That is why you are urged to examine the advantages and disadvantages of choosing your own private aircraft to charter.

 

The most obvious benefit of choosing your own private aircraft to charter is the fact that you can have exactly what you want.  It is no secret that aircraft come in all different sizes, shapes, and styles. There are some aircraft that are designed for those traveling on business; these aircraft tend to have a small number of passenger seats, but a large amount of conference room space or working space. There are also aircraft that are designed to accommodate a large number of passengers, like an organization that is chartering a private aircraft for a trip.  Choosing your own private aircraft will not only make sure that you have enough room for all of your passengers, but it will also help to ensure that room is room that you can use. 

 

Another benefit or advantage to choosing which particular private aircraft you would like to charter is satisfaction.  One of the most common reasons why people choose to charter private aircraft is because they want a personalized, private flight.  Many of those who charter an aircraft are fed up with the hassles and discomforts of commercial airline travel. For many, chartering a private aircraft is enough to create satisfaction, but why not take it a step further?  Choosing your own private aircraft will virtually ensure that you have a good flight and good traveling experience, because you chose the aircraft yourself.

 

Although there are a number of benefits or advantages to choosing your own private aircraft to charter, there are also a number of disadvantages to doing so as well. One of those disadvantages is the cost.  There are a small number of private aircraft chartering companies that charge an extra fee to handpick the private aircraft of your choice.  While this fee, if it even exists, is small, it is enough to notice.  It is also important to note that many private aircraft chartering companies charge more money for their highly requested aircraft.  If you are looking to choose an aircraft that is popular, you may find it a little bit more expensive to charter that plane.

 

Another disadvantage to choosing which private aircraft you would like to charter is availability.  When it comes to availability, there are two main instances where a problem may arise.  For starters, you may find that your first choice aircraft is not available for the time frame that you need it.  This is most commonly seen with a certain type of jet aircraft, like one that is ideal for those traveling for business.  The higher an aircraft comes rated and recommended, the harder it may be to get available reservations. With this in mind, if you choose to do business with large aircraft chartering company, you should have a number of aircraft to choose from.

 

Another aspect of availability that may not work out to your advantage, when choosing your own private aircraft, is location.  Many private aircraft charteringcompanies have aircraft scattered across Australia.  If you are looking to charter an aircraft in Melbourne, but the jet of your choice is located in Brisbane, you may have a problem.  Unless that aircraft will be making a one-way trip to Melbourne right around the time that you requesting a charter, you may need to pay an extra fee to get the aircraft of your choice.  In some instances, it is not uncommon to have an aircraft chartering company refuse your request for a particular aircraft; however, as previously mentioned, there should be others for you to choose from.

 

As you can see, there are a number of advantages and disadvantages to handpicking your privately chartered aircraft.  When making your finial decision, it is advised that you keep the above mentioned points in mind.
