The Mysteries of Maralinga tour will not be available in 2026.

From the mid-1950s until the mid-1960s, the British Government tested nuclear bombs at a remote location in South Australia's Great Victoria Desert. All the testing was conducted in the utmost secrecy, with almost no one being told what was going on or the long-term effects.

This location was called Maralinga.

Depart from Ceduna and fly over the testing grounds before landing at Maralinga Airport. Then join a guided bus tour to explore the testing grounds and Maralinga Village.

A picnic lunch is included.

The afternoon flight crosses the Great Victoria Desert before returning to Ceduna.
This is your opportunity to visit Ground Zero and learn first-hand from local guides what actually happened at Maralinga.
