Overview

Our experiences are 100% indigenous guided (subject to cultural reasons), we are fortunate to have the most amazing relationship with traditional owners.

Our Binninj guides still live a largely traditional lifestyle and in all cases English is not their first language.

We we are the only day tour company departing Darwin to have the permits to visit some of the best rock art sites in Arnhem Land.

You will be met by our driver/guide at the accommodation pick up/set down area of your hotel.

With an early morning start it's time to have a rest onboard until we arrive at our first stop on the Arnhem Highway where you can purchase refreshments such as breakfast and use the facilities.

As the sun rises over the vast Territory landscape we will be driving along the Arnhem Highway which offers you the opportunity to either rest or spot some unique and spectacular wild life (Wallabies, Dingoes Buffalo and lots of birds).

We arrive at Jabiru to meet up with additional guests at about 8:30am and transfer to the "Marebu bus" (our off road vehicle) for the journey to Arnhem Land. Crossing the East Alligator river at Cahill's crossing. From here on we will be on dirt roads and engaging 4wd.

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.

    Awesome day. Excellent guide. Small group was perfect. An incredible experience - the rock art is so amazing.

    I can't speak highly enough of this tour. We went into Arnhemland where non-Aboriginal people don't usually go. We saw rock painting after rock painting and these were enhanced by stories from our Aboriginal guide. The climb was challenging - not recommended for people without a reasonable level of fitness and agility.

    A marvellous tour that I will never forget. Fantastic rock art in a stunning setting and a great opportunity to learn more of the first nation culture. Our driver/guide Tim was friendly, courteous, careful of our safety and wanted nothing more than for us to enjoy the land he clearly loves. Our local guide Sebastian was generous in sharing his knowledge and open to all of our questions. It was an honour and a privilege to visit such a special place.

    Fantastic access to rock art and the indigenous perspective from the locals. It is a long day from Darwin - several passengers joined us in Jabiru knocking 4 hours or so off their round trip.

    This was a fantastic experience. Tim isn’t short of a story and made the longish drive from Darwin pass quickly. The landscape of Arnhem Land is spectacular and varied - from jabirus and brolgas on green glowing wetlands to rich red rock outcrops . Our local guide met us at the Injalak Art Centre, which is full of work by present day local artists . We did a bit of croc spotting just outside the centre, accompanied by soaring eagles, and then went up the hill to see the work of artists of days gone by whilst our guide told us stories. The sheer amount, variety and colour of the work was incredible. A relaxed black wallaroo hung around for a while. Great day . The small group size was nice.
