The Great Ghan Adventure

8-day Australian rail package featuring The Ghan, Darwin to Adelaide

Railbookers runs this 8-day, 7-night package around a four-day, three-night journey aboard The Ghan in Gold Service, traveling from Darwin to Adelaide. The train stops at Katherine, Alice Springs, and Coober Pedy, where travelers can choose from included or upgradable off-train excursions before reboarding. Onboard, Gold Service is described as including the train's amenities, with the outback landscape visible from the windows throughout the journey. As an independent rail package, this suits travelers who want a scenic, train-based way to cross the outback rather than a coach tour. Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day breakdown of the remaining days in our records. Prices start from $5,549 USD per person.
