Arnhem Land is Aboriginal lands and permits are required to enter, from now on we are guests of the traditional owners. Arnhem land is where the indigenous culture is dominant and English is the locals second, third or even fourth language spoken.
Be guided over some of the most spectacular landscapes and see first hand vibrant ancient rock art that is interpreted by a local indigenous guide whose ancestors painted and have been telling stories in this traditional way for centuries.
We have lunch atop Injalak Hill and on the return journey we have afternoon tea at the arts center where you have the opportunity to purchase art works.
On our return Journey we once again cross the East Alligator river at Cahill’s crossing and return via Jabiru and return to your nominated drop off hotel in Darwin.

We are privileged to offer experiences that are entirely guided by indigenous individuals (exceptions may occur due to cultural circumstances). We maintain a remarkable relationship with the traditional custodians.
Our Binninj guides predominantly lead a traditional lifestyle and English is not their native language.
We stand out as the only day tour operator, leaving from Darwin, possessing permits to visit some superior rock art locations in Arnhem Land.
