We went on Venture North's Arnhem Land/Coburg Peninsula journey with Alex as our leader/driver/guide/walking encyclopaedia and chef. He was exceptional in every way and we all (six in the group) appreciated his knowledge and skills and enjoyed his company. The landscapes are stunning, the remoteness is captivating, the history is fascinating. the Indigenous art stunning and the people are welcoming. We enjoyed everything - cruising Corroboree Billabong, driving through the Arnhem Land escarpment, walking to Anbabang Billabong and Nawalandja lookout, climbing Injalak Hill to witness the best rock art in the world, visiting interesting Garig Gunak Barlu National Park sites and the Visitor Centre, 'hunting and gathering' traditional style for our dinner, watching crocodiles (and foolhardy tourists) at Cahill's Crossing and driving through remote areas we would never have seen independently. And...Venture North's Coburg Camp is simply delightful - rustic (loved the outdoor ablutions) and relaxed and such a great place to just be. Alex, Trav and Annie treated us guests like royalty, and all we were allowed to do was sit back and enjoy the food (and wine), the sunset and the company. We can't recommend this trip and this company highly enough. and will certainly go on another adventure in our beautiful county with Venture North again.

Had the best trip of our 3 weeks in Australia to the Kakadu national park. We had a very knowledgeable, pleasant guide , Stephen. Told us many interesting things about all the animals, birds , the area and rock art. Would definitely hire him again for a longer tour should we ever come back to Australia.
WELL worth it 👍🏻

Travelling through the Kimberley, it is likely something will go wrong and the test of a company is how they handle it. The trip was great, the guide (Damo) fantastic. Then when something did go wrong, their profit went out the window and we were looked after, improving on our original plan. So impressive; cannot recommend Venture North highly enough
