Unforgettable Journeys.

We put together specialised tours throughout the Northern Territory and Kimberley for people who want to know more about the art, who want to be connected with the origins of their pieces and discover the marvellous land that inspires the artists. We make all the necessary arrangements so you can get off the beaten track to visit established art centres who warmly welcome visitors.

Have you often looked at the beauty of Aboriginal art and wondered about its background, or about the landscape that inspired the colours, and the communities and country that these amazing artists come from? Have you been to exhibitions and met some of the artists who are a long way from home and thought about walking in their footsteps and experiencing their land and culture? We can offer you that opportunity.

Flying over this landscape is amazing, with its rich vibrant colours and spectacular topography. We believe this experience will be a wonderful opportunity for you to gain a greater knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal art and culture, truly enhancing your relationship with your current and future collection and leaving you with memories to last a lifetime.


Following are some examples of itineraries that we’ve conducted recently. Each tour is custom made to suit your interests, group size and budget, so no two departures are quite the same. The following itineraries provide an indication of the scope of what we can do but they are just a small example. Talk to us about your interests and we’ll create a tour especially for you.
