Description

Top End Day Tours is the only day tour company in the Kakadu/Arnhem land region to employ local aboriginal guides. A unique opportunity to venture into Arnhem Land (aboriginal lands), a vast wilderness home to the traditional owners. We have a special arrangement with local traditional owners whereby we have access to some special sacred sites. Injalak Hill tours are guided by local indigenous guides who will show you around one of the best rock art sites in the world! When on tour with us we encourage open conversations with our guides, who are all experienced and welcoming. This is a rock art and culture tour where we take our time to talk with our guides and take in the expansive scenery and rock art galleries, our Injalak Hill tour does not require you to be a fit athlete! However, as we are off the beaten track with no foot paths and/or handrails you do need to be agile. Walking over uneven surfaces, rocks/boulders requires agility.

Best Tour and worth it

This was one of the best tours I have been on. It’s raw, it’s genuine and it’s a bit rough. No fences no paths but tracks and a great guide Aboriginal Guide Seb. Thanks Seb you made my day. Tim also was a great host and answered any questions about culture and the land. What a great day. You must do this. Don’t hesitate.

Operator response

Kammak Kingaroy, I think this is one of the most accurate reviews we've ever had! "It's a raw, it's genuine and it's a bit rough"! Just how it should be we like it that way! Thankyou so much, Seb is always on fire as are all of our indigenous guides! I love every one of them! Mah bobo :)

Magical Experience

A fantastic and well organised trip from start to finish. Tim was marvellous ( And according to Linda very sexy). While driving g out he set up the day in a professional manner providing information on how the day would work and assuring e eryone that their participation mattered. Also Shaun our guide ( who rescued Linda's backpack) enthralled everyone with his commentary on the ancient Aboriginal paintings which took a lot of effort to view but had this been threefold it would have been more than worth it. Probably the best trip we've ever been on. Many Many Thanks Ian & Linda

Operator response

Ian, Just had a big laugh! Love it mate. Ma bobo :)

Awesome day in Arnhem Land

This tour is an extremely insightful way to learn about Aboriginal culure and Arnhem Land. We had about an hour in the tour bus from Jabiru to Arnhem Land. During that portion of the ride, Tim did an incredible job of explaining how the day would work, who and what we would see, encouraging us to ask lots of questions and other logistics of the day. He even noted that an important member of the community had passed away recently and the funeral was the day before our tour. Which meant our tour mught be impacted (it was not). All very helpful. What he (intentionally) doesn't do is speak on behalf of the people who live in Arnhem Land. We had a local man join our tour when we arrived in Arnhem Land and he was our guide the rest of the day. He explained traditions and answered questions. He was very soft spoken, which added to the allure. He explained the rock art we saw at several stops along the way. He took us to a beautiful lookout where we had lunch. All in all, a truly wonderful day and tour.

Operator response

Kammak mate, thank you so much for this review it assists other guests in deciding what is the best tour for them. Your review is an accurate account of how we approach or days in Arnhem land. Boh Boh :)

Rock art up close and personal

We had the privilege of doing the Arnhem Land Yingana Injalak full day tour. I say privilege because it truly was special and guided by a local wholives on these lands and his ancestors have lived here continuously for 10,000 years. It was very special, seeing the rock art up close and personal, and hearing the native stories and legends behind it. We also visited sacred burial grounds and could see how much the site means to our guide, Craig. The views from the top of Injalak hill were spectacular and we enjoyed a picnic lunch looking out over the whole landscape below. This tour requires sure footing and there is lots of scrambling over rocks. Our driver Tim was very friendly and brought us to the border store as the art center was closed on the day we went, which was a surprise to him. We were picked up at the Croc Hotel shortly before nine and back after four so it is a full day trip! I would highly recommend

Operator response

Kammak impossibleblue, I'll be sure to show Craig. It really is a unique opportunity to visit a sacred site guided by a great local binninj guide. Mah bobo

MEMORABLE DAY TOUR VIEWING ANCIENT ROCK ART

This tour offered exactly what I wanted: viewing ancient indigenous rock art and learning more about indigenous culture. It was brilliant. During the drive, Tim had time to share his extensive local knowledge of the area and advised of his working with indigenous guides to create an authentic experience. These guides live, love and know the land, the culture and the stories that have been orally passed down from generation to generation. Craig, our guide, opened his heart explaining his cultural history, the importance of "country" to "family" and replied to our many questions. Climbing the Hill, Craig stopped to interpret many of the paintings, linked to stories, which often led to events in his family's life. The extent and condition of the ancient rock art is exceptional. At the top of the Hill, we ate our picnic lunch while enjoying the spectacular view below. Thank you Tim and Craig for an unbelievable day. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

Operator response

Kammak, thankyou for taking the time to review us. I'm so glad you had a great day and appreciate your kind words.

We really enjoyed our day tour to Injalak hill and Arnhem Land with Tim and Sebastian (14/7/2025). This tour felt very authentic and we really liked that we had an Aboriginal guide from the local area. We loved hearing Seb’s stories and knowledge about the amazing rock art. This was truly a very special place and I’m so grateful we were able to experience it. There was a lot of climbing over rocks and through tight spaces which we loved, but if you are not very fit or mobile, this tour probably isn’t for you. Finally, we really enjoyed hearing how passionate Tim is about Aboriginal culture and bridging the gap between white Australians and Indigenous Australians. It’s such an important conversation to have! Thanks for a great day, Jess and Jarrod

Operator response

Jess and Jarrod, I had a great day myself, kammak for the review and safe travels.
